Trivia
- The original English name for Rapidash was going to be its Japanese name, "Gallop" and was later changed.
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.
Name origin
Rapidash's name could be a combination of rapid and dash, referring to the high speed at which it runs or possibly rapid and ash, referring to the fact that Rapidash has fire on its body. Its Japanese name is simply the word gallop, which is the form of running of hooved animals.
