A 3'03" long Ponyta would be like some sort of miniature pony (and be far too small for teenagers or adults to even consider riding on), while a 5'07" Rapidash would still be so small in comparison to real horses that it'd count as a pony rather than a full-sized horse.Īnd regardless of which measurement is 3'03" on a Ponyta. Ponyta and Rapidash are very small horses. If you assume the measurements are always length for longer/quadrupedal creatures, then. What measurement of a Ponyta actually measures three feet and three inches? Are they 3'03" long, and if so is that including the tail or not? Are they 3'03" tall from toes to head? Are they 3'03" at the shoulder? There's so many different ways to measure a quadrupedal creature. When I was younger I always went with height for bipedal creatures and length for snake-like things and things that walk on four (or more) legs, but looking through some of them it doesn't always work very well. For extremely long-bodied things like Arbok, Dragonair, and Gyarados, the "height" is probably intended to be their length instead (an 11-foot-long snake is a big snake but not absurdly so, while a snake that measures 11 feet in height when it has about half of its body "standing up" off the ground like Arbok does in most of its poses would be pretty ridiculous.) exactly what does the "height" measurement in the Pokédex measure?įor humanoid/bipedal Pokémon, the "height" actually measuring height makes sense. Something I've thought about a lot when looking through Pokémon size measurements according to the Pokédex.
