Effect: Deals damage to enemy Pokémon automatically upon their switching in. Although it is held back by its Normal typing, (however, a Rapid Spin equivalent without any immunities would be beyond broken and would annihilate stall as a playstyle) Rapid Spin is a powerful support move that many teams would not function without, which secures it a spot at #10. In fact, Rapid Spin is so useful that many Pokémon, such as Volcarona, Gyarados, and Salamence, almost necessitate Rapid Spin support to function effectively. Rapid Spin almost singelhandedly ensures that stall isn't the most dominating playstyle in every tier, let alone OU.

Many Pokémon actually rely on certain rare moves to remain viable in OU Breloom has Spore, Cloyster has Shell Smash, and Scizor has Bullet Punch. While it may not be as important as typing, if a Pokémon doesn't have the moves, it probably isn't going to be OU. A Pokémon's movepool is one of the main factors that decide its viability.
