A fast attacker. Zen Headbutt and Play Rough are STAB. High Horsepower is coverage to combat steel types. The last moveslot is preference.

Defeat all Dark-types beforehand and find a good opportunity to set up, like with a Toxic staller. Proceed to sweep teams with an LC Pokemon. Ponyta has surprisingly good stats for a LC Pokemon. Watch out for Phazers and Haze.

Calm Mind is set-up. Morning Sun is healing, and lets you potentially use Calm Mind again. Stored Power is a very powerful STAB move after accumulating a few boosts. Dazzling Gleam is STAB that covers Dark types which are immune to Stored Power. Mystical Fire hits Dark types neutrally, and the Stored Power resistant Steel types super-effectively. It also lowers Special Attack, making G-Rapidash even bulkier.

Swords Dance boosts Attack. Psycho Cut and Play Rough are strong STAB, boosted by Swords Dance & LO. Megahorn is coverage, anything works though.
Have fun using this set, hope I helped! :D

You can use any coverage move, depending on what you need covered.
I love taking things out with this My-Little-Ponyesque powerhouse.
Rapidash-Galar @ Wide LensAbility: Pastel VeilEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Megahorn- Play Rough- High Horsepower- Psycho Cut
Typical quick physical sweeper here.Wide lens because most of these moves are not 100% accuracy (aside from psycho cut). Play rough and psycho cut for STAB, megahorn and high horsepower because of their power and general coverage. Ev’s add to its already great attack and speed.
