Apparently it means "horned one."

Yeah, it does. ^^
It's no coincidence that it's also a common component of Dinosaur names.

Though I'm not sure what a "Create-A-Horned-One" project would actually do, lol.

Create some Fairy Unicorns?

Hmm... interesting.

Can we recruit anto?

I don't know. Can we? @anto

Oh, I guess I can't tag people on vms. :<

Haha, guess we have to create Rapidash-A ourselves. :D

rofl. I think it needs to be half fairy.

Yeah, Alola Pokemon usually get either a Dark, Steel, or Fairy typing. So that fits.

I propose a Ground typing as well, though, so it gets access to STAB Drill Run and High Horse Power. ;)

Hmm... true, but I think it definitely ought to have dazzling gleam and STAB Play Rough. Maybe a new colour scheme too. A white-silver body and purple-blue-white flames perhaps?

Or a Ground/Fairy typing? It's one of the best offensive typings out there, so Rapidash-A might even see some usage in the higher tiers.

Even though I really like Water from a design perspective.

Ooh. Both of those would be super cool. I just feel like a water unicorn might tread on Suicune's territory a bit much.

And a Ground one into Mudsdale territory... :(

But Mudsdale is pretty forgettable. Suicune is the most awesome, perfect water type.

Did you watch that Pokemon Generations episode about the legendary beasts?! :D

Yes!
