I've been trying to make Rapidash work in OU on Showdown (big order I know), though I'm having a lot less success on the ladder with Dash than I did with other low tiers (Kingler in particular).
This is the team I'm using. I'm wondering if if I could be doing something to better optimize it.
The idea behind the team is that you spread paralysis with Chansey, Egg, and Starmie, then use Fire Spin/Tauros to cleanup. Any suggestions on how to improve greatly appreciated.
