In the anime

Ash used a Ponyta belonging to Lara Laramie in the Pokémon Marathon in The Flame Pokémon-athon. The Ponyta evolved into Rapidash near the end of the race, winning it.

Rapidash was also one of the Pokémon cloned by Mewtwo in Mewtwo Strikes Back.

Stella had a Rapidash in her circus in It's Mr. Mime Time.

In the manga

Blaine is seen with a Rapidash as his steed in Pokémon Special. He rides Rapidash into Mewtwo's Psywave in an attempt to finish the Genetic Pokémon off. To protect Red, Blaine's Rapidash creates a fireball wall around the Trainer to shield him from the impending blast.

Trivia

The original English name for Rapidash was going to be its Japanese name, "Gallop".

Origin

Rapidash's horn shows it may have been inspired by unicorns, but it doesn't seem to have anything else in common with unicorns, being more like a regular horse.

Name origin

Rapidash's name is a combination of rapid and dash, referring to the high speed at which it runs. Its Japanese name is simply the word gallop, which is the form of running of hooved animals.
