Rapidash

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It has a /-type Galarian Form introduced in Generation VIII.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rapidash is a cream-colored, equine Pokémon with red eyes and a longhorn atop its head, similar to a unicorn. Its mane and tail are comprised of red and yellow flames, while smaller embers trail from its fetlocks.
===Behavior===
Rapidash is rather competitive and tends to have a rash nature. The fastest Rapidash will be chosen as its herd's leader, which determines the direction the herd is heading and the speed its herd runs. They are quite rare in the wild and can be found mostly in Kanto, although sightings in Sinnoh, Johto and Unova have occasionally been reported.
Galarian Rapidash is intrepid and resolute, taking pride in its abilities on being able to dash across the forests with the psychic powers stored in the hair around its hooves. Galarian Rapidash are reported to be sighted in woods and forests like Glimwood Tangle in Galar.
===Natural abilities===
Rapidash can dash at a high speed across vast lands. It is also one of the fastest Pokémon, with a top speed of 150 mph (241 km/h). Its flaming mane can burn glowingly under high speed boost.
Galarian Rapidash can conjure psychic blades, projections and projectiles through its horn, which are destructive enough to create massive holes through solid metal.
==Evolution==
Rapidash is the evolved form of Ponyta at level 40.

===Origin===
Rapidash appears to be based on unicorns due to the horn on its head. It also may be based on different fire horses in mythology such as those found in Greek and Hindu mythology.
Galarian Rapidash appears to be based on more modern depictions of unicorns, making them appear more magical and cute.
===Etymology===
Rapidash may come from rapid, ash, and dash.
Galarian Rapidash's species name, Unique Horn, is a pun on "unicorn".
