When your best option is non-STAB poison jab/strength or return (return being wanted by a half dozen other things) while literally every single one of his Pokemon except his own Rapidash have a higher BP move to hit you back with I don't understand how Rapidash is even remotely useful here.įor Cynthia I suppose you could take on Lucario and Roserade but Lucario in particular is kinda tricky because there's a not all that bad chance it's faster and has the SE stone edge to do massive damage and just generally ruin your day. It's just kinda there.įlint - uh I need you to explain this to me. With Volkner it's a neutral Pokemon who's not weak to the coverage moves but doesn't resist the STAB and also doesn't have SE attacks, so it's not really particularly helpful or particularly bad.
