Oh god no that's not what I wanted to hear, I thought I was past the hard one T_T

My mind is so basic with type matchups, apparently sometimes that's a good thing. I had trained a whole bunch of fighting types in preparation and then didn't even use them. 

Also same, I din't expect the Rapidash to perform so well, as much as I love the Pokemon, it seemed like they were generally pretty weak, maybe it just had good evs or whatever it is? I know nothing about that stuff, but these are her stats, maybe you can actually understand them lol

Oh and RE: Drapion, it's only weak to ground, which none of her pokemon use. I brought it along to set toxic spikes. It also helped out a lot during earlier trainer fights, since with Hone Claws and Night Slash it could get to the point of critting on basically every attack while not missing due to the accuracy boost.

Looking at Rapidash's base stats on bulbapedia, it's actually very similar to Flygon, with less hp and defense but just a touch more speed. It's definitely a solid fire-type until you start hitting the big guns later on. Fun fact: Rapidash outspeeds Garchomp assuming same IVs/EVs/Nature.

That's right, I alwsys forget Drapion isn't bug
