Pokemon GO: Getting Rapidash (Shiny Possible?)

How to Catch Rapidash in Pokemon GO

Rapidash, the fiery speedster from the Kanto Region (Gen 1), has become a fan-favorite in Pokemon GO. While it may peacefully roam fields and plains, don’t underestimate its speed – it can reach up to a blazing 150 mph when enraged!

With a maximum CP of 2782, Rapidash is a formidable Fire-type Pokemon with respectable attack, defense, and stamina stats. It may be weak against Ground, Rock, and Water-type attacks, but it can hold its own against Bug, Fairy, Fire, Ice, Grass, and Steel-types. And hey, don’t forget about its shiny variant – a rare find for collectors!

So, how do you catch Rapidash and add it to your Pokedex? Well, you’ll need to start with a Ponyta. Ponyta can be found in the wild, and you can increase your chances of encountering one by using in-game items like Incense and Lure Modules.

If you want to maximize your Ponyta encounters, keep an eye on the weather. Rapidash thrives in sunny conditions, so try camping around areas with sunny weather to boost your chances. Attach a Lure Module to a PokeStop or Gym, activate an Incense, and explore the vicinity. This way, you’ll stack the effects of these in-game elements and sGear up the Ponyta spawn rate.

Once you catch a Ponyta, you can evolve it into the majestic Rapidash using 50 Candy. You can earn these candies by catching Pokemon, using berries during battles, transferring Pokemon, and even walking with your favorite buddy Pokemon. So get out there, catch those Ponytas, and ride proudly with your new Rapidash!
