This page focuses on the original Kantonian Ponyta.

But first, what is aCommunity Day?

These values will, however, be different if youre currently below Level 30.

At a glance, Ponyta, the Fire Horse Pokemon, is pretty on the nose.

It’s a pony, but its a Fire-jot down Pokemon, so its mane is made of fire.

Helios had a fiery steed and the Kirin of Japanese mythology has been depicted with a fiery mane.

Ponyta evolves into Rapidash with 50 Ponyta Candy in Pokemon Go.

Rapidash is like Ponyta, but bigger and a unicorn.

This is not to be confused with the Unique Horn Pokemon, which is Galarian Ponyta/Rapidash.

Its legs grow strong while it chases after its parents.

It runs all day in fields and on mountains.

Rapidash: It has astounding acceleration.

From a standstill, it can reach top speed within 10 steps.

It gallops at nearly 150 mph.

With its mane blazing ferociously, it races as if it were an arrow.

Presumably, that means Rapidash can’t turn.

Truly it is the Zoolander of Pokemon - pretty, but ultimately useless, and has trouble turning left.
