Platinum's Rapidash: Difference between revisions

In ''[[PS388|To and Fro Froslass]]'' Rapidash was used in Platinum’s Gym battle against [[Candice]] where he battled against her {{p|Froslass}}. Due to the speed he gained from his previous evolution, Rapidash easily managed to prevent Froslass from hitting him. When Froslass got a hit in, Platinum had Rapidash use Rest to prevent any further damage, only for Froslass to deal a powerful hit with {{m|Wake-Up Slap}}. Rapidash was recalled and switched with [[Platinum's Lopunny|Lopunny]] afterwards, but he returned after Lopunny used {{m|Healing Wish}} to sacrifice herself and fully heal Rapidash. With his health fully restored, Rapidash defeated Froslass and earned Platinum her seventh Gym Badge. During the battle against [[Jupiter]], he was used alongside Platinum's other Pokémon as well as Candice and [[Maylene]]'s. They were all eventually defeated, and an exhausted Platinum had Rapidash use his flames to keep them warm while they were trapped in a blizzard.

In ''[[PS405|Shorting Out Electivire]]'', Rapidash was Platinum's last choice in her battle against [[Volkner]] and called out against {{p|Electivire}}. Rapidash managed to survive a powerful {{m|Thunder Punch}}, proving to Volkner that Platinum had a strong resolve.
