Galarian Rapidash Moves Overview
Galarian Rapidash starts off as Ponyta, and evolves into Rapidash at Lv. 5. Rapidash has the ability Pastel Veil, which charges a psychic gauge based on the distance it runs, and grants a shield when the gauge is filled.

Galarian Rapidash's first move slot consists of Confusion, which can upgrade into Dazzling Gleam or Fairy Wind. Confusion has the user release a telekinetic force around itself, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon. Dazzling Gleam has the user emit a powerful flash around itself, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits. Fairy Wind has the user jump in the direction it's facing and, when it lands, stir up a fairy wind that deals damage to nearby opposing Pokémon. This move can be used up to 2 times.

Galarian Rapidash's second move slot consists of Tackle, which can upgrade into Smart Strike or Agility. Tackle has the user charge and slam into opposing Pokémon with its whole body while dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to them. Smart Strike has the user stab the designated opposing Pokémon with its sharp horn, dealing damage to it. After that, the user leaps in the designated direction while shoving the opposing Pokémon in the opposite direction. Agility increases the user's movement speed when used, and for a set amount of time, the user's movement speed continually increases.

Galarian Rapidash's Unite Move is Triad Blitz, which has the Dash effect. The user charges in the designated direction, shoving Pokémon from the opposing team. When the charge ends, a mysterious space is created around the first Pokémon from the opposing team that the user hit. That Pokémon cannot leave that space. If this move is used again, the user runs at high speed in the designation direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in its path. If its path goes through the mysterious space, this move can be used again an additional time. This move can be used again up to a total of 2 additional times.

Wasn’t expecting it to be a ranged fighter but it makes sense for a psychic and fairy type
