In order to withstand the force of landing, its hooves are ten times harder than diamond. Ponyta's ability, Flash Fire, causes it to power up if it is hit by a Fire-type move, and causes the move to have no effect. (Unconfirmed!) (Unconfirmed!) Ponyta is an herbivore, mainly eating grasses, small shrubs, berries, etc. It would seem that Ponyta, along with its evolution Rapidash, 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. Ponyta's name is derived from "pony." It may also be partly based on the Spanish word "bonita", meaning "beautiful". It could also be a shortened form of the word "ponytail."
