Which attack would do more on Rapidash?

Dec. 3, 2020

So I’m doing a Pokemon Platinum playthrough right now. One of my team members is my Rapidash. Its best physical fire move is Flare Blitz, which I don’t feel would be very good on such a fragile mon. So, I’m wondering if I should run Flame Wheel (physical 60 power) or Flamethrower (special 90 power). Here’s the current set and stats:

Set:ReturnPoison JabMegahorn[Fire type move]

It would be appriciated if you could do calculations with and without a Flame Plate/Charcoal.

Since its SpA is very close to its Atk, on paper Flamethrower seems like the better choice. However, Flare Blitz' recoil isn’t as bad as it seems if you have some potions on hand. I’d go for Flare Blitz for that reason.

Hope this helps!
