Rapidash (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Rapidash is a horse-like Pokémon. It has a horn, reminiscent of a {{wp|unicorn}}. Rapidash has eyes with red irises that are proportionally smaller and different in design to its preevolution, Ponyta. Like its preevolution, Rapidash has various flames streaming from certain spots on its body. However, Rapidash’s flames are different in shape and location on the body to Ponyta’s, for the flames at the tops of the legs have vanished and there are now flames on the ankles. Rapidash’s ‘tail’-flame now streams from its back, and Rapidash’s head flame is much longer.  

It runs at {{tt|about 150 miles per hour|about 241 kilometers per hour}}, {{a|Flash Fire|on fire}}, chasing everything that moves in hopes of racing it. With incredible acceleration, it reaches its top speed in only ten steps. At full gallop, its four hooves barely touch the ground.

Rapidash is a very agile Pokémon. It can live on mountains along with other {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Fire}} Pokémon, it could possibly live alone, rather then in groups of fellow Rapidash. They are the highest evolved form of Ponyta and are highly capable in battle. Although Rapidash usually only casually canters, it is a very competitive Pokémon and will chase anything that moves in the hopes of racing it. The faster Rapidash goes, the longer the swaying flames of its mane will become. At its all-out gallop, it's blazing mane sparkles, a feature which is said to enhance its beautiful appearance.

Most Rapidash live on grassland such as fields and plains, but it can also be seen on mountains. The best place to find wild ones would be in [[Kanto]], though some can be found in [[Johto]] and [[Unova]] as well.

It mostly grazes on grass, but it can sometimes be found with the [[Shuca Berry]].
