Type/s: Fire
HP: 333
Attack: 298
Defense: 238
Speed: 308
Special: 258
Moveset #1: Attacker
Fire Blast
Body Slam
Hyper Beam
Mimic/Agility
With very good attack and speed stats, Rapidish looks to be very promising. But then it gets struck by the bad movepool plague that has affected many Pokemon in RBY, and the no STAB plague. However, playing Rapidash means you will have one of the fastest Pokemon in the UU metagame, making it a serviceable revenge killer with Fire Blast and a decent CH rate to go with it.
The first three moves are the best moves Rapidash gets, while the fourth is the filler move that you'll probably never use. Mimic seems to be the best choice to get a handy move like Thunderwave or Earthquake, but Agility can aid you in a sweep.
One thing that sucks for Rapidash is that it can't do anything at all to rock types. Charizard has EQ, Arcanine and Ninetales at least get Dig and hell, even Magmar gets Psychic to at least to do something.
Moveset #2: Fire Spinner
Agility
Fire Spin
Fire Blast
Hyper Beam
This is pretty much the same as Wrapnite and Spintres but with worse defensive stats. However it can work in UU, and one advantage it has over every other Wrapper/Spinner in the game is its inital speed stat. The speed will get you the edge over foes such as Fearow, Dodrio and Tentacruel. Tying Electabuzz also helps more than it hurts.
