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 | 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 ''{{wp|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''. | Ponyta's name is derived from ''{{wp|pony}}''. It may also be partly based on the Spanish word "bonita", meaning "beautiful".
