Ponyta • Generation VIII Pokédex

Scarlet/Violet support is in the works!

Ponyta's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Ponyta's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Ponyta's Nature.

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Ponyta is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.

Where to Find Ponyta in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

If you're looking for where to find Ponyta, you'll find the various methods listed down below, along with any notes or special locations. This should help you figure out how to get Ponyta in Pokémon Sword & Shield. (Currently this does not show most "strong" static encounters or Max Raid Battles.)

Special Ways to Get Ponyta

In the Isle of Armor (DLC), you can also find a person who will offer repeatable trades, and she will sometimes offer her Ponyta for your Galarian Ponyta. (Her location varies, similar to special characters in the Wild Area.)

Notes About Ponyta

In Pokémon Sword/Shield, it can only be bred by having a normal Ponyta or Rapidash hold an Everstone Everstone.
Location information on where to find Ponyta in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl will be coming to the Marriland Pokédex in a future update! Thank you for your patience!
