Ponyta (Japanese: ポニータ, HepburnPoniita) (PO-nee-tuh[1]) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I and a Psychic-type introduced in Generation VIII.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Ponyta is a horse Pokémon that has cream colored fur. Rather than having a fur mane, Ponyta has one made of fire, which burns when it is happy or excited. On its heels are streaks of fire. About an hour after birth, its fiery mane and tail grow out, giving it an impressive appearance.

Galarian Ponyta is white and its mane resembles light blue and purple clouds. The fire on its legs are replaced with purple fluffy fur. While Kantonian Ponyta lack horns, Galarian Ponyta has a black horn with a single white stripe. It is said that they changed type and appearance over generations after being exposed to the energy in the Galarian forests.

Behavior[]

Ponyta is very weak at birth, so weak that it can barely stand up. This Pokémon however becomes stronger by stumbling and falling to keep up with its parent. It is known to run fast and jump high. It allows humans to ride on its back occasionally. However, if angered, it may choose to burn its rider by igniting its back. Although its mane is made of flames, it will never burn a trainer it trusts.

Galarian Ponyta has the ability to absorb life energy and store it in its mane, which causes it to glow. It never trusts wicked people, who it turns away and vanishes from, whenever it senses one with evil thoughts. If it accompanies with a Trainer, it means it knows the Trainer is a goodhearted person. In "PJ055", despite that they also have a tendency to be very shy and don't make themselves known to people very much and when in distress or in need of help they send psychic visions to those they trust regardless of the distance.

Natural abilities[]

Ponyta has hooves which are harder than diamond and its legs are strong and durable; able to absorb the shock from taking high jumps.

Galarian Ponyta can heal poisoned allies with its psychic powers, and can easily heal wounds only with a gentle touch from its horn. It can detect a person's kindness with psychic as well, being to identify people who have good hearts.

Evolution[]

Ponyta evolves into Rapidash at level 40.

Trivia[]

  • Despite normal Ponyta lacking a horn, it can learn Horn Drill via leveling up.
  • Shiny Ponyta have blue flames for their tails and manes as opposed to red flames. Blue flames are hotter.
  • Despite Ponyta's Diamond Pokédex Entry saying that it takes an hour for its flames to appear after its birth, it instantly appears in the games when a newborn Ponyta is hatched.
  • Ponyta is one of the fourteen Pokémon able to collect a foreign Pokédex Entry in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
  • In the anime, Ash rides a Ponyta (which evolves into Rapidash in the same episode) but in "reality" a Ponyta would be too small to ride.
  • Ponyta's shiny originally had brown flames instead of blue ones. Its evolved form Rapidash also has a shiny change.
  • Ponyta and its evolution, Rapidash, are the only Pokémon with the Run Away ability that are Fire-type.
    • This is also true with its Galarian Form, as it is the only Pokémon with the Run Away ability that is Psychic-type.
  • When first shown in the Glimwood Tangle live stream, one of the Ponyta has no tail. It is unknown why.
  • It is the first Pokémon with a Regional variant that doesn't share the same species category.

Origin[]

Ponyta and its evolution are based on various fire horses from mythology.

Galarian Ponyta bears more closely to unicorns, which are the national symbol of Scotland. Its Psychic type comes from unicorns being able to purify poison and other negativity while having poison-immune magic as well.

Etymology[]

"Ponyta" comes from the Japanese corruption of the word "pony" or "ponytail", or likely a combination of "pony" and "bonita" (the French word for "beautiful").

Galarian Ponyta's species name, Unique Horn, is a pun on "unicorn".
