How to unlock Ponyta in PokeBonk
Ponyta joins your League in two steps. First, finish its League challenge; the counters add up across runs unless a goal says "in a single run":
- Survive 15 minutes in a run.
Catching Ponyta
Then Ponyta can show up as a Wild Encounter in your next runs, 50 to 120 seconds into a zone. It runs away after 150 seconds, so weaken it and throw a Poke Ball before then. The PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists every challenge.
Ponyta moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Flame Charge | Fire | Physical | Charge | Start | 24 | 1.98 s |
| 2 | Bounce | Flying | Physical | Heavenly Impact | Level 2 | 33 | 1.58 s |
| 3 | Inferno | Fire | Special | Explosive orb | Level 4 | 22 | 1.44 s |
| 4 | Sacred Fire | Fire | Physical | Meteor | Level 7 | 65 | 3.84 s |
Ponyta passive: Fiery Hooves
+15% speed. As you move you leave fire footprints that burn enemies. Like Rapidash, +10% speed and bigger footprints.
Flame Charge, Inferno, and Sacred Fire match Ponyta's type, so they deal 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Ponyta Ultimate in PokeBonk
Ponyta's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ponyta | Fiery Gallop | 1.8 s | You gallop in a circle leaving a 9 m ring of fire that burns and, when it closes, scorches everything inside. |
| Rapidash | Sacred Stampede | 2.8 s | The gallop, three fan-shaped fire trails and columns of sacred fire on the enemies. |
Ponyta evolution levels in PokeBonk

Ponyta stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ponyta | 0 | 103 | 7.7 | 1.08x | 1.07x | 1.01x | 1x |
| Rapidash | 1 | 118 | 7.9 | 1.07x | 1.06x | 1.01x | 1.12x |
