Galarian Ponyta has been confirmed! Aside from its currently confirmed ability list and typing, here's how I think its movepool could be managed
+Calm Mind, Confusion, Heal Pulse (shown using in trailer), Light Screen, Psybeam, Psychic, Reflect, Zen Headbutt
-All Fire moves, Drill Run and High Horsepower
Basic Psychic moves + removal of Fire moves and normal form's major tutor moves. I doubt it'll retain any fire moves even as coverage since it's a woodland pokemon for which the website mentions it consumes life energy. It even changed classification from the "Fire Horse" Pokemon to the "Unique Horn" (lol) Pokemon. All in all though, should be a cool mon in Little Cup. Vanilla Ponyta was already decent, but now it gets Psychic moves in a meta that has never had a viable physical Psychic type and where Abra doesn't exist anymore.
As for Rapidash, Psychic/Flying alicorn with the above movepool changes + Aerial Ace, Air Slash, Brave Bird and Roost. What else could it possibly be aside from maybe Psychic/Fairy, which would be lame imo but w/e
tl;dr galar pony for LC, Rapidash implemented possibly for experimental meta
