Not long after the most surprising announcement of an evolution for Farfetch’d, Sirfetch’d, as the upcoming Pokemon Sword exclusive on the Nintendo Switch, we get another first generation Pokemon with a new look! Now in the Galar region, you can look forward to finding Ponyta’s new Physic-type form which includes a long fluffy pastel-colored tail and mane, as well as a horn on the forehead! This unicorn-like beauty however will be a Pokemon Shield exclusive.
A change brought about by the life energy of the forests
Galarian Ponyta have been found in a certain forest of the Galar region since ancient times. It is said that they were exposed to the overflowing life energy of the forest over many generations, and this is why their appearance became unique in this region.
Behold its glistening mane
Galarian Ponyta can absorb the life energy of the surrounding atmosphere and store it in its mane. It seems that Ponyta’s mane will become more colorful, and even emit a sparkling glow, if there is a lot of energy around.
Galarian Ponyta has the Ability Pastel Veil
Galarian Ponyta’s Ability, Pastel Veil, is a new Ability introduced in these titles. This Ability prevents the Pokémon and its allies from becoming poisoned! It can even cure the poisoned status condition of its allies when this Pokémon enters the battlefield!
