Ponyta

Ponyta is a Fire type Pokémon introduced in Generation 1.

Ponyta has a Galarian Form, introduced in Pokémon Sword/Shield. It is said that they were exposed to the overflowing life energy of the Glimwood Tangle forest over many generations, and this is why their appearance became unique in the Galar region.
