Rabsca Guide

  • Rabsca has a 470 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a situational pick that fills a niche. It works best as a wallbreaker. Base 115 Sp. Atk is where it shines.

  • Rabsca's biggest threats include Charizard (Fire), Aerodactyl (Flying), and Heracross (Bug), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Rock, Ghost, and Dark-type attackers are also a problem. With 6 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Synchronize is the go-to ability for Rabsca. It copies burns, paralysis, and poison received onto the Pokémon that inflicted them. Its hidden ability Telepathy can work in specific setups.

  • Rabsca fills the wallbreaker role. It's a special attacker with base 115 Sp. Atk. Base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • The core moveset is Revivalblessing, Trickroom, Psychicnoise, and Bugbuzz. Revivalblessing leads at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
