In addition I would like to debate your points, again with respect.

Personally I think Rajang is substantially more intelligent, however intelligence does not always lead to combat success. It does however, defenitely give Rajang an edge.

In addition, while a Deviljho may have problems hitting a Rajang, his attacks are, relative to the third generation, more powerful.

The Thunder Attribute is also a good point. However, Deviljho is capable of shrugging off a great deal of attacks. Deviljho could however, drool on the Rajang, and give it defense down. This would greatly increase the effectiveness of his shots.

I honestly think they are pretty evenly matched, with Deviljho being able to deal and take a large amount of damage, and Rajang being able to do a lesser amount, but faster, and avoid a Deviljo's attacks. I simply would put my money on Deviljho, but I make it a rule to bet on the one with better body armor.
