Rapidash is a horse-like, quadruped Pokémon. It has a horn, reminiscent of a unicorn. Rapidash has eyes with red irises that are proportionally smaller and different in design to its pre-evolution, Ponyta. Like its pre-evolution, Rapidash has various flames streaming from certain spots on its body. However, Rapidash's flames are different in shape and location on the body to Ponyta's, for the flames at the tops of the legs have vanished and there are now flames on the ankles. Rapidash's 'tail'-flame now streams from its back, and Rapidash's head flame is much longer.
