#077Ponyta
FIRECOMMONPonyta shows up in the level 20 hunt and averages 23 of loot and 248 XP per kill.
Is Ponyta worth hunting?
Among the 30 Pokémon in the level 20 hunt, Ponyta ranks 20th for loot per kill, 4% below the level's median.
Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.
64% of all loot comes from a single item: Heart Stone. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Heart Stone (5,000 at the NPC), at 0.29% chance — on average one every 348 kills.
For XP it ranks 11 of 30 at this level — 248 per kill.
