Regirock Sweeper and Rapidash Support

Been thinking about some ideas for quite a while now, and I finally came up with two pokemon that I think would go great together. I hope you guys enjoy my first rate of the year. Thanks and bye! ^_^

(This is For Doubles)

Pokemon: Regirock (Baldanders)
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Clear Body
Item: Leftovers
EVs: 252Att/252Spe/6Def
Set:
- Rock Slide
- Ice Punch
- Thunder Punch
- Rock Polish
Purpose:
- Just the usual Rock Polish Regirock. However, the set gives it an advantage over it's weaknesess (assuming it can handle them). Ice Punch is for ground types. Thunder Punch is for water types. Rock Slide is for STAB and double damage.

Pokemon: Rapidash (Brynhildr)
Nature: Impish
Ability: Flash Fire
Item: Focus Sash
EVs: 252Spe/152Def/100Sp.D/6HP
Set:
- Charm
- Will-O-Wisp
- Flare Blitz
- Morning Sun
Purpose:
- The initial support is the double attack drops with Charm and attack being halved again through the burn. Flare Blitz is just for a STAB attack. Morning Sun is for defencive purposes and to get rid of the Flare Blitz damage.

You should of said "This is for Doubles".

There will be a few people out there who didn't know you don't play singles..


Put some of Regirocks Speed into Sp.Def so you can take Water moves better.

Putting some of Regirock's speed EVs into Sp.D isn't a very good idea. It's max speed is 218, and I need it to stay that way because it's generaly slow and need to be able to outspeed most of the pokemon in battle.

i like your rapidash's job in theory, but an intimidate arcanine with WoW could do it even better

and for the EV's if he wants the regirock to sweep at all its probably going to need everything he can get in those sets. if anything move the extra 6 to SpD or HP

I don't want to use Arcanine because of the fact that intimidate only drops the opponent's attack stat one stage. Charm will drop it two stages, halving it. I will then have it again with the wisp, also allowing me to get indirect damage.

I don't like Arcanine, anyway.

Arcanine could use growl! lol but your just going to need to be careful with that rapidash once the sash is broken

I don't really see the point in morning sun. If you need the sash for support, then it's unlikely morning sun will be of use. I say that you should choose between one.

Still, he doesnt need that much speed EVs, use enough EVs to outspeed base 115 pokes after a rock polish, since most dtuff faster than that is not mich of a trouble for Regirock

Honestly, I really do not see why you even need a rapidash on here... So what that charm and will-o-wisp halves attack?!? You already have AMAZINGLY AWESOME defense... You are screwed when you face one bulky water and just because you have thunder punch doesn't mean you will be doing a whole lot. A super effective non-stab 75 power move is really not that strong when you are facing a suicune, slowbro, milotic etc...
