Just loves to run. If it sees something faster than itself, it will give chase at top speed. At full gallop, its four hooves barely touch the ground because it moves so incredibly fast. With incredible acceleration, it reaches its top speed of 150 mph after running just ten steps. It just loves to gallop. The faster it goes, the longer the swaying flames of its mane will become. 50 85 55 90 65 345 50 85 55 90 65 65 500

It has a horn, reminiscent of a "unicorn." It runs at 150 miles per hour, on fire, chasing everything that moves in hopes of racing it. Rapidash is a very agile Pokémon. It lives on mountains along with other Rock, and Fire Pokémon, so it is quite possibly alone - not with a relation, such as a Rapidash friend or mate. They are the highest evolved form of Ponyta, and are highly capable in battle. Mostly Rapidash lives on grassland such as fields, and plains, but it can also be seen on mountains. It mostly grazes on grass. Rapidash's horn shows it may have been inspired by unicorns, but it doesn't seem to have anything else in common with unicorns, being more like a regular horse. It would also seem that Rapidash, along with its previous evolution, are based on Pyrios, Aeos, Aethon, and Phlegon, the "fiery steeds" that carried the Greek God Helios's Chariot of the Sun around the world each day. Rapidash's name could be a combination of "rapid", and "dash," referring to the high speed at which it runs or possibly "rapid", and "ash," referring to the fact that Rapidash has fire on its body. It can also be "rapido," Spanish for fast. Its Japanese name is simply the word gallop, which is the form of running of hooved animals.
