Well, let’s check them out.
If you call Rapidash’s Speed “respectable”, you’re wasting your life or just wrong. Rapidash is WAAAAAAYYYY faster than Camerupt, coming in at a base 105, its best stat. Its Attack is amazing, too.

Camerupt’s Speed goes WAY down with a pitiful base 40. The thing hits like a tank, a huuuge bonus. But, that 4x weakness to Water makes it a little risky with Monotype. But, again, the Mega...

Bulk: good
Hard-hitting?: YES
Fast?: Dear god, no
