Rapidash (Japanese: ギャロップ Gallop) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Ponyta starting at level 40.
Biology
Physiology
Rapidash is a horse-like Pokémon. It has a horn, reminiscent of a 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.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
It runs at 150 miles per hour, 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.
Behavior
Rapidash is a very agile Pokémon. It can live 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. Although usually Rapidash only casually canters, Rapidash 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, and at its all-out gallop its blazing mane sparkles, a feature which is said to enhance its apparently beautiful appearance.
Habitat
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.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
It mostly grazes on grass, but it can sometimes be found with the Shuca Berry.
In the anime
Major appearances

It also appeared in Stategy Begins at Home! in Ash's flashback.

Blaine is seen with a Rapidash as his steed in Pokémon Adventures. He rides Rapidash into Mewtwo's Psywave in an attempt to defeat Mewtwo. To protect Red, Blaine's Rapidash creates a fireball wall around the Trainer to shield him from the impending blast.

It also appeared in the Emerald saga when Crystal lend the Rapidash she had to Emerald. Though it was initially defeated by Lucy's Seviper with its Toxic and Giga Drain maneuver, its fellow team member Blissey revitalized it using Heal Bell and Softboiled, allowing it to defeat the serpent with a powerful Overheat.

Trivia
- The original English name for Rapidash was going to be its Japanese name, "Gallop", but was later changed.
- Rapidash is the favorite Pokémon of the Kanto Pokémon Fan Club President. When the player first speaks to him, he goes on about why Rapidash is his favorite Pokémon at length.
- In the first movie, there is a split second where Rapidash has no flames.
- It is one of the few Pokémon in Pokémon Ranger and Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia to have the same field move in both games.
Origin
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 prevolution, are based on the Greek god Helios's fiery steeds.
Name origin
Rapidash's name could be a combination of rapid and dash, referring to the high speed at which it runs. It could also be a combination of rapid and ash, referring to the fact that Rapidash has flames on its back. Its Japanese name is simply the word gallop, which is the form of running of hooved animals.
In other languages
- German: Gallopa - Derived from galloppieren (gallop).
- French: Galopa - From galop or galopade (gallop).
- Korean: 날쌩마 Nalssaengma
- Chinese (Taiwan): 烈焰馬 Liè Yàn Mǎ- Literally "Raging flame horse".
