Biology
Both Ponyta and Rapidash can enable their body's flames to be harmful or harmless. Rapidash is a competitive Pokémon: if it sees anything faster than it, such as a car or another Pokémon, it will run at up to 150 mph to try to outrun it. At that point, its hooves barely touch the ground.
It can traverse all of Hisui in a day and a half. The faster it goes, the longer its mane becomes. Otherwise, it can be seen cantering in fields.
