      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      You wouldn't bring a pony to a Raid Battle, would you? Ponyta is not strong enough to be a notable Fire-type attacker, but once it evolves into Rapidash, it becomes a solid Gym defender and a solid budget Fire attacker. Did you know that Nurse Joy had a Ponyta in the anime? Now you know! 🐴🦄

      PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

      • Little Cup - Ponyta is a strong contender in the Little Cup, well ranked, but we think it needs a bit more move coverage to rank higher. We recommend Ember, Flame Charge, and Stomp as moves.

      A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Ponyta's Fire-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Ponyta.

      Fire Fire

      Mega and Primal Catch BonusWhile a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

      Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
      • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
