The Equirexian Equine Pokemon
Hiiii I shared a photo of these guys forever ago but I didn't actually go into much depth about them so I wanna give that a go! Typing with proper grammar to make this easier to read.
For those that haven't been following my blog you wouldn't know about the Equirexians who are one of the native groups of Vianna which is now known as Galar. I am Equirexian, and I would like to share some things about the equine pokemon that are near and dear to my culture and religion.
Above are some photos from the pokedex, showcasing the Equirexian Mudsdale line and the Equirexian Rapidash line! Both of which are bred to resemble Calyrex's steeds also known as Glastrier and Spectrier as a way for us to feel closer to them.
Which meant Mudsdale ended up taking on the Ice typing and Rapidash took on the Ghost typing.
Equirexian Rapidash is actually one of the parent breeds to the Ballonlea Rapidash which is the Psychic/Fairy Rapidash people tend to think of when the breed family of Galarian Rapidash is mentioned.
They were also bred for life in the Crowned Tundra which resulted in rather thick and soft coats. The mane of Mudsdale is of note due to the fact that the ice from it's mane travels all the way down it's nose! Rapidash and Ponyta's manes are also quite interesting due to the fact the upper half of it is solid while the lower half is not and will instead pass through whatever touches it.
There is plenty more to mention and show but that's too much for one post.
