Trivia

• Ponyta and Rapidash are the only Template:Type2s in the Sinnoh Dex besides the region's starter Pokémon, Chimchar, Monferno, and Infernape. This is especially apparent when the Flint only has Rapidash and Infernape as actual Fire-type Pokémon.
• Ponyta is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect foreign Pokédex entries for.

Origin

Ponyta is based on a horse.

Name origin

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

In other languages
