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.
