Pokédex entries

Pokémon Emerald

It usually canters casually in the fields and plains. But once a Rapidash turns serious, its fiery manes flare and blaze as it gallops its way up to 150 mph.

Pokémon FireRed

It can gallop at a top speed of 150 miles per hour. It can race as fast as a bullet train while ablaze.

Pokémon LeafGreen

Very competitive, this Pokémon will chase anything that moves fast in the hopes of racing it.

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.

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.

The original English name for Rapidash was going to be it's Japanese name, "Gallop".
