Biology

Rapidash is anequinePokémon with cream-colored fur and a pointed horn on its forehead. It has small, red eyes and triangular ears with reddish interiors. Yellow and reddish-orange flames stream from the back of its head to form a long, flowing mane. A short version of the mane trails down its back to its equally fiery tail. Flames are also present on itsfetlocks. It has slender legs, each with a single black hoof.

Rapidash is a very agile Pokémon. It runs at about 150 mph (240 km/h), 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 hooves barely touch the ground. The faster Rapidash goes, the longer the swaying flames of its mane will become. At an all-out gallop, its blazing mane sparkles, a feature that is said to enhance its beautiful appearance. Rapidash is capable of traveling an entire region likeHisui within a day and a half. Rapidash lives ingrasslands, but it can also be seen on mountains inPokémon Snap.

Forms

Rapidash has aregional form:Galarian Rapidash.

InGalar, Rapidash takes on a new form with a white coat, pale blue eyes, and a long, curly mane and tail colored in streaks of pastel cyan and pink. Its horn is much longer than that of Kantonian Rapidash and is deep violet in color with a spiraling white line running its length. Its fetlocks are adorned with long pink fur that stores psychic energy, which gives it a swift, airy gait, and it has deep violet hooves. When using psychic energy, its horn glows with a yellow aura, and its colored fur glows with seemly flowing color.

Galarian Rapidash lives in forests and is known for being brave and prideful. It can channel its psychic power into a powerfulPsycho Cut from its horn that can pierce through sheet metal. Galarian Rapidash and its pre-Evolution are theonly known Pokémon that can havePastel Veil as anAbility.
