Pastel Veil Effect

The Pokemon's psychic counter charges based on the distance it runs, and when the counter is full, the Pokemon is granted a shield. While the shield remains, the Pokemon is immune to hindrances. The Pokemon's moves' damage increases based on the Pokemon's movement speed.

How to Use Pastel Veil

Run Around to Fill the Counter

Galarian Rapidash gets a lot of its survivability from its ability, Pastel Veil. The only way to build up Pastel Veil and trigger its effects is by continuously running around. Once at 10 stacks, the ability grants Galarian Rapidash a shield and makes it immune to hindrances while the shield remains.

Moreover, it's important to note that the faster Galarian Rapidash can run the faster it can build Pastel Veil stacks, so keeping a high movement speed will be paramount to the Pokemon's impact.

With this in mind, always try to trigger Pastel Veil as often as possible when fighting as Galarian Rapidash will be more effective with the ability's effects.

Utilize the Shield and Immunity

The shield and hindrance immunity are extremely useful during fights as they essentially make Galarian Rapidash virtually unstoppable. Be sure to take advantage of these effects to get the upper hand against opponents.

However, one thing to note is that the effects disappears when the shield is destroyed, so it's best to keep the shield up for as long as possible during fights.
