Flavor Text

: Capable of jumping incredibly high. Its hooves and sturdy legs absorb the impact of a hard landing.

: It can’t run properly when it’s newly born. As it races around with others of its kind, its legs grow stronger.
: If you’ve been accepted by Ponyta, its burning mane is mysteriously no longer hot to the touch.
