Rapidash first appeared as a {{p|Ponyta}} in ''[[PS338|Stagestruck Starly]]'', where he was used as {{|Platinum}}'s steed. He was mainly used as her mode of transportation, not seen in many battles until ''[[PS342|A Conk on Cranidos's Cranium]]'', where he was used in Platinum's first [[Gym]] battle against [[Roark]] and his {{p|Onix}}. The battle ended quickly, however, as he was defeated by a combination of {{m|Double-Edge}} and {{m|Slam}} that sent him flying into a wall and was knocked out as a result. | |||

Fueled by his [[Trainer]]'s determination, he defeated both of Byron's {{p|Bronzong}} with one {{m|Flamethrower}}. In ''[[PS377|Hurrah for Rapidash]]'' after refusing her father's plea to not do anything dangerous, Ponyta [[evolved]] into a {{p|Rapidash}} after Platinum expressed her resolve to defeat [[Team Galactic]]. | ||
In ''[[PS388|To and Fro Froslass]]'' Rapidash was used in Platinum’s Gym battle against [[Candice]] where he battled against her {{p|Froslass}}.

When Froslass got a hit in, Platinum had Rapidash use {{m|Rest}} to prevent any further damage, only for Froslass to deal a powerful hit with {{m|Wake-Up Slap}}. Rapidash was recalled and switched with {{TP|Platinum|Lopunny}} afterwards, but he returned after Lopunny used {{m|Healing Wish}} to sacrifice herself and fully heal Rapidash. With his health fully restored, Rapidash defeated Froslass and earned Platinum her seventh Gym [[Badge]]. During the battle against [[Jupiter]], he was used alongside Platinum's other Pokémon as well as Candice and [[Maylene]]'s. They were all eventually defeated, and an exhausted Platinum had Rapidash use his flames to keep them warm while they were trapped in a blizzard. | ||

In ''[[PS424|Exit Empoleon]]'', Platinum used Rapidash in her {{si|Battle Arcade}} challenge.
