Midori Harada illustrated this card. The same name is on 352 other cards in the catalog.
Ponyta (#077) has 29 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 28 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ponyta 60/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Midori Harada illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Ponyta list a different HP.
The attack Tackle lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. Stomp is another attack lists 10 damage. The cost is Fire, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 20 more damage. Weakness is Water +10. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "As a newborn, it can barely stand. However, through galloping, its legs are made tougher and faster."
I keep a set binder for Arceus, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Arceus set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Ponyta can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
