User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Azure Rathalos (4th Gen)/@comment-5569775-20160102090303

Rathlos is fine, Azure is a pain, though not as bad as Silver. For me Azure is one the few monsters I actually hate fighting, at least solo. If only it didn't fly around for 3/4ths of the fight, it wouldn't be so bad. And the frequent changing directions right as I throw a Flashbomb makes it worse. Online isn't as bad, especially with gunners, but other players tend to get hit way too much by the Poison Claw Dive and cart.

Fight aside, his color scheme is rather appealing. His armor is one of the better sets in the game, especially with a 3 slot, Sharpness +4 talisman. His weapons all look rather nice and they are pretty decent from what I've seen(from others using them). And as good as the pure Azure weapons look, the Azure/Pink weapons look even better.
