I'd say it's 10 out of 10 times. Tauros would literally have to spam non-attacking moves the entire time or repeatedly miss a rock slide or something. Dewpider has a base hp of 38, that is nothing, basically any stab attack from Tauros should one shot it, not even mentioning the super effective options it has in wild charge or rock slide.

You'd be surprised.

Eviolite and 100 HP/156 Def EV investment and Dynamaxing give Dewpider enough tankiness to live through almost anything Tauros can throw at it. Give Dewpider a Special Attack increasing nature with the full 252 EV investment in Special attack, Water Bubble as it's ability which doubles Water-Type attacks damage, Surf which turns into 130 base power Max Geyser when Dynamaxed and assuming Tauros has very little in the way of defensive investment since it is usually used played as a Physical Sweeper which is 252EVs in Attack and Speed. At this point Dewpider can survive a hit from a Tauros and proceed to one hit KO if Tauros doesn't dynamax itself hence the "play badly" part and that's just a best case scenario.

Maybe Dewpider could do better with more defensive investment to survive another turn and getting more damage from rain from Max Geyser.
