It can take time to determine the best choices, and any player who wants to use Rapidash has several options. Rapidash is a Pok\u00e9mon from the Kanto region and was one of the first Pok\u00e9mon to appear in the mobile game. Given the time players had to track it down, there are already some known team compositions and movesets for Rapidash. Still, Niantic enjoys adding more to an existing Pok\u00e9mon's moveset, and Rapidash's attack options are constantly changing from update to update, giving it further opportunities to become a valued Pok\u00e9mon Go teammate. Here's what you need to know about the best moveset for Rapidash in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Rapidash's best moveset in Pok\u00e9mon Go Rapidash is a Fire-type Pok\u00e9mon with no secondary typing. It's weak against Ground, Rock, and Water-type Pok\u00e9mon. If you plan to add Rapidash to your Pok\u00e9mon Go team, the best moveset you can give it is the fast move Incinerate and the charged moves Flame Charge and Wild Charge. Although Wild Charge won't do much to Ground or Rock-types, it's a great option if your opponent uses a Water-type Pok\u00e9mon to counter Rapidash. You could consider several fast moves for Rapidash, but Incinerate stands out as the best choice. It takes five turns to use but causes 20 damage and generates four energy. The appeal of the attack is the amount of damage and energy it can provide Rapidash, whereas its other choices\u2014Ember, Fire Spin, or Low Kick\u2014don't hit the same mark in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Fire Spin does get the closest to Incinerate but falls short because it only provides 3.3 energy per turn. There are even more choices than the fast moves when it comes to charged moves. Here are all the charged moves Rapidash can learn in Pok\u00e9mon Go: Drill Run (Ground-type) Fire Blast (Fire-type) Flame Charge (Fire-type) Heat Wave (Fire-type) Scorching Sands (Ground-type) Wild Charge (Electric-type) Flame Charge and Wild Charge are the best choices for Rapidash in Pok\u00e9mon Go. While Wild Charge lowers Rapidash's defense by two ranks, Flame Charge increases its attack by one, making it stronger as the fight continues. For those who plan to use Rapidash in the Great League, these are the choices you want to go with. But if you plan to use it in raids and battles where it's level 50, swapping out Flame Charge for Drill Run is recommended. Drill Run would be a good attack against Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type Pok\u00e9mon. Is Rapidash good in Pok\u00e9mon Go? Even with Niantic adding Wild Charge to Rapidash's moveset, it's not the best option if you use it against other Pok\u00e9mon Go players. There are stronger Fire-type Pok\u00e9mon you could add to your team that would wipe the floor with Rapidash. But it's a decent choice for five-star raids or when battling Team Rocket.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Rapidash-in-Pokemon-Go.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1339335"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2139"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1339335"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1339335\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1340515,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1339335\/revisions\/1340515"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1339356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1339335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1339335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1339335"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1339335"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1339335"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1339335"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1339335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
