Remember the episode where Ash has to race a Dodrio with a ponyta.. but the dodrio is faster. And the ponyta Evolves into rapidash at the last moment and wins?
Dodrio's Speed =100
Rapidash Speed = 105
Sun/Moon BUFFS
Dodrio Speed = 110
Rapidash Speed = 105
Problem GameFreak?
Not really, since levels exist, even in the anime.

Ash racing on the Ponyta is non-canon, since it took place in the non-mage universe.
Come to think of it the Pokemon with RAPID and DASH in its name should have its speed boosted
>trying to get a jab in by saying Pokemon can't have unique stats based on EVs, Nature, and IVs and that base speed is all that matters.

In this day and age? They cant. Theyre all injected and all the same. But back then.. they were all unique.

Levels haven't been mentioned in forever in the anime. Case in point: Dawn and Trip's newly-received Piplup and Snivy already knowing Bide and Leaf Tornado, moves they don't learn until level 18.
Game mechanics like levels do not exist in the anime. Pokemon just grow stronger and get more skilled the more they battle.
TMs also don't exist in the anime, Pokemon can learn any move just by training (Ash's Krookodile learned Dragon Claw immediately upon evolving and he taught it how to use Aerial Ace).
Eh.. just buff Rapidash to 115. What could it hurt? It's already one of the least used pokemon in the game.

>two words in its name imply high speed
>dex entries mention 150 mph
I think it needs at least 125
