It's not surprising that Pinkie is so good at jumping considring how ridiculously strong ponies and particularly earth ponies are. Also, as anyone who's read my fanfic knows, I consider Pinkie to just e using obscure earth pony magic in unusual ways.

Pronking...just...what a word. It's perfect!

And how 'strong' would you all rate Pinkie?

AJ is first, followed by RD...where's Pinkie on the list?

Pinkie isn't in the top strength tier, but she's definitely very fit. I'd say same fitness tier as Rarity and possibly Fluttershy. Twi is the least fit of the Mane Six, but she's also very, very tough (anvil!)

Strength Tier:

• AJ - Top (only rivaled by her brother and the Friendship Express Engineers!)
• Dashie - Very Strong
• Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie - Strong (All of them roughly in same tier, Fluttershy might be STRONGER since she can wrestle bears)
• Twi - Least physical strength (yet strong enough to carry Tom, lol)

I'd personally make it AJ, RD, Pinkie/Rarity tie, Twilight. Fluttershy...I have no idea. Her strength fluctuates a lot depending on her mood, so it's hard to place her in comparison to the others.

1. Applejack
2. Rainbow Dash.
3. Pinkie Pie.
4. Fluttershy.
5. Twilight Sparkle
6. Rarity.

But in terms of power:

1. Pinkie Pie. (Reality Warper)
2. Twilight Sparkle. (Godlike Magical Ability.)
3. Rainbow Dash. (Walking radiological weapon.)
4. Fluttershy. (Badass, blessed by Samuel L. Jackson.)
5. Applejack (Raw physical strength.)
6. Rarity. (No powerful abilites apart from super-vision.)

@Steven, your power level chart is broken. Rarity is Ultimate Rogue with superb social skills, trained fisticuffs (Manticore? PUNCH IT! Changelings? UPPERCUT THEM) and Epic Disguise (Costume making), Pinkie is Epic Bard, Fluttershy is Epic Druid with Barb rage.

1) Rainbow Dash (Tactical Rain Nuke, can travel at the speed of sound)

2) Twilight (Really, really good variety of powerful spells)

3) Pinkie (Yeah)

4) Applejack (Must be very strong and have good endurance to work on the farm day in day out)

5) Fluttershy (She can wrestle bears, scare dragons and out-stare a cockarice but only when she's pushed)

6) Rarity (Lady of War but only when you threaten Spikey-wikey or her friends)

Fluttershy is the weakest, but she also has the ability to turn off the mental barriers that prevent a person/pony from using the full power of their muscles far easier then other ponies when she's mad.

And Strenvth wise, I'd say RD and Pinkie are even, RD is mroe fit over all, but most of her training and conditioning is for speed and agility not strength.

...is Pinkie Stout Strength?

Pinkie is as strong as comediclly necessary.

If comedy demands that Pinkie pull a mountain with nothing but a piece of dental floss, then it will be done.

@Apple: I dunno, her weight fluctuates too much for us to really say

@Mio: She'd set up a pulley system with the floss :P

Even Big Mac can start Pronking

edited 13th Nov '12 10:11:26 AM by AceOfScarabs

The floss is made out of dark matter.

@Apple Do we even know if she's considered chubby by pony standards?

@ Purple

At the moment...no.

Well, she'd certainly be more cuddly :3

Really, only 4 of the girls can be properly ranked on overall power.

1) Twi
2) RD
3) AJ
4) Rarity

Pinkie and Fluttershy both have massive disparity in power levels depending on the situation. They can both be at either the top or bottom of the list. As Mio stated, Pinkie runs off of Rule of Funny, so how powerful she is depends entirely on that. Likewise, Flutters is right at the bottom of the list normally, unless the problem involves wildlife or she gets pushed too far, in which case she shoots to the top.

Human!Pinkie

Pinkie Pie feels like a fuzzy bag of pudding.

Strength depends on the situation. I'd say that Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash are perhaps peak examples of the respective specialities of their races. Twilight is a high-level researcher who pours a ridiculous amount of time into developing her magical skill, Applejack is a career farmer whose physical condition has been toned to a great extent by her work (she can stop a runaway bus without giving more than a few meters), and Rainbow Dash is an athlete who spends a lot of time training to become faster and more skilled. When she isn't napping, that is.

Meanwhile, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rarity have more specialized interests that don't really fall into the sort of near obsessive development of the general skillset as the other three. I assume that Pinkie, with her lifestyle, doesn't have nearly the sort of developed muscles as the outdoors-man or athlete.

Granted, where Twilight has power, Rarity demonstrates amazing dexterity and flexibility with her ability to levitate and manipulate objects. That's a form of developed skill that's different, but no less impressive.

One of the guys who works on the show does humanisations, so I'd consider them the closest we have to canon. His Pinkie basically looks like a gymnast which makes sense to me.

In terms of physical strength, Twilight is known to be considered a weakling and Rarity also struggled with Tom, indicating that they are tied for last. Rarity is better at physical combat though.

AJ is the strongest, but RD comes close. Pinkie should have earth pony strength, supported by her acrobatics, but she may have nelected some physical strength training to develop other earth pony magic.

In combat power, Twilight has just reaserted herself as number one with the stuff she pulled this episode including launching the library into the air. Add what she did in Boast Busters and remember that that was before her massve increases in power as well as what she pulled off as a filly and the fact that she can catch RD and erect omnidirectional forcefields which protect a head able to take anvils, pianoes, wagons, etc. and she's very hard to beat.

Pinkie is almost as fast as RD, has teleportation, multilocality, hammerspace, a weapon, can fly through machinery and almost through bouncing, perfect disguises, elasticity, precognition and apparent super strength. She comes next.

RD has hypersonic flight, can destroy barns, fly into the ground at hypersonic speed without being injured, is agile, has superstrength, can vaporise barns, split rock and shake mountains from a distance. She also has a black belt in Karatee. She's next.

Applejack has speed rivalling RD's, is the strongest of them all and is clearly very tough as well. She also knows boxing. She's next.

Fluttershy has flight, the ability to communicate with animals, has super strength and The Stare. She's next.

Rarity has fine-manipulation telekinesis, was still able to carry Tom and knows martial arts. She's last only due to how insanely powerful they alll are. And if Rarity has the option to use social-Fu... well, she'll easily take care of business most of the time.

@ Sereg

Do you have a link to this artist's work?

Yeah, I'm hesitant to put Pinkie too high up on the power list because she only demonstrates Reality Warper powers in contexts where they have no practical use beyond being amusing. If she could use them whenever she wanted, she'd be an uber, but as is, she's a bit lower down.

I think it's because Pinkie limits herself, or she feels she doesn't have a use for them beyond messing about.

It's not like she wants to be a goddess or anything, she just wants to have a laugh.

If she wasn't nice, she'd have the ground eat Gilda for stealing, Applejack's legs turning inside out for a few seconds for breaking a Pinkie Promise and she would just make Celestia and Luna into stone and rule Equestria herself.

@Applelight: Unfortunately not.

I came across it on ponibooru and I'm not sure how to find it again. I don't remember his name either. Apparently he revealed Pinkie's full name ahead of time though.

@JT: Four words: Party canon against changelings.

Four more words: Bicycle-copter to reach Gilda.

Two more words: Mysterious Mare-Do-Well.

Dam...I really wanted to see that.

The party cannon, whirligig, aren't reality warper power though; they're actual physical objects. And the Pinkie Sense is an established plot-relevant ability. I'm talking about stuff like when she sprouts extra limbs, teleports faster than RD can fly, or clones herself.
