Ponyta is a Fire-type Pokémon in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl that can evolve into Rapidash.

To evolve Ponyta into Rapidash in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, players must level Ponyta up to level 40. This makes it one of the bigger evolutionary gaps in the series, with most Ponytas being found at low levels.

While you will have to grind quite hard to level up Ponyta, it’s worth bearing in mind that just having them in your party will mean that they get some share of EXP from battle. You can also use Rare Candy.

You will need to level up Ponyta in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or trade for one if you want a Rapidash as they cannot be found in the wild.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is available now on Switch.
