Why would anyone choose Single Strike? Rapid Strike is better

I mean, this Pokémon delivers a great amount of power, but it’s out-sped by a lot of equally strong sweepers that can one-shot or two-shot it.
Might as well go with raw power by pairing it with Choice Band and have some bulky Pokémon partner use Follow Me, because chances, you may not be able to that more than once.

Wicked Blow is higher base power, 120 vs 112.5, doesn't get hit three times by Rocky Helmet, and Dark+Fighting+Steel or Poison, is all the coverage you need. Rapid Strike is only better for rain teams, breaking subs and sash, and not getting reverse-swept by Krook

The way I see it, in VGC it does well into A LOT of the meta, bar togekiss. It dunks on tyranitar, dragapult, dusclops, excadrill, indeedee, duraludon incineroar, lapras, etc.

People are shying away from it cause

>muh x4 to fairy
>muh 60 sp def

if you lose to fairies, you need to learn to team build better.

Its NOT that hard

Single Strike is better.
Wicked Blow is stronger than Surging Strikes, its dual STAB + either Iron Head or Poison Jab gives it perfect coverage with extra room for Bulk Up, and it doesn't get walled by shit like Toxapex and Amoonguss.
Rapid Strike has its uses, but it's only really better on a rain team. Single Strike is, ironically, more splashable.
