Which species is better? Pegasus, or Unicorn?

[Pika-duck 12]

How many of you love flying in the sky? 
How many of you love doing 100 things at once without lifting a hoof?

Let's see...

[Lisa 5,553]

It's spelt "Pegasus." 

 

Anyway, I'd say unicorn because magic and shit.

As this isn't feedback on the forum itself, I'm sending this off to the Lounge.

[Gestum 2,493]

No earth pony option available? I'm disappointed.

[Jokuc 8,174]

Well I do prefer earth ponies because they care more for certain things and I just love that they're simple. If I could pick one of the three to be myself I'd go for Unicorn over pegasus cause magic.

I would say that this thread belongs in Sugarcube Corner, though.

You're probably right. My mistake....

[Memory Lane 131]

Which species is better? You'll need to be more specific. Better at what exactly? Also, why aren't Earth Ponies worth consideration?

[retrobakon 57]

I don't really think either is better than the other. Pegasi have the ability to fly, which obviously allows them to cover great distances and scout fairly well. Plus they can do a limited number of things with their wings. Unicorns have access to magic, which is in itself a vague concept in the show. Some unicorns use only a specific type of magic, and others specialize in a wide array of magic. Whether it's teleporting or levitation, magic can be used to overcome a wide variety of obstacles. I'd have to say that whether one race is "better" than another, it'd have to depend on the situation and context of what you're talking about. For instance, a unicorn may have the ability to transform an enemy's weapon into something non lethal. A pegasus may be able cross a large canyon with no trouble. Then there are situations where both races' attributes could solve the same problem; a unicorn may teleport around a huge boulder, while a pegasus may simply fly over it. The point is, both races have their strengths and weaknesses; however, we can all agree an Earth Pony would have much more trouble with that boulder. That is, unless that pony is Maud....

Neither, Earth Ponies are my favourite race. They don't have as much to offer as the unicorns or pegasi, but sometimes simpler things can be better than complex ones.

[L1ghtn1ng_Flash 213]

PEGASUS ALL THE WAY SO I CAN SAY THIS.

[Snake 516]

I think they're all equal, seems a bit insensitive to try and pick a "better" race. They all have their pros and cons.
(Good thing this isnt tumblr!)

[Tao 7,884]

I'll go with unicorns but even my oc unicorns don't use magic to get off easy if they got two hooves to use. 

[Akari of Duskshire 581]

Unicorns, but why isn't there an earth pony option?

[cmarston1 5,959]

Unicorns obviously.

They can do magic and stuff.

[Summer Breeze 2,528]

I (human behind the computer) still dream to get real wings someday, to fly and to look freaking awesome!!!!  

so for me it's Pegasus

[Nuke87654 1,849]

I'd say Unicorns considering that the most powerful ponies around seem to be Unicorns considering how magic >> everything else in Equestria besides the power of friendship.

[Your Nightly Spectre 1,061]

Unicorns can magic wings on themselves, Pegasi are invalid. 

[(dead) 21]

Between these two, unicorns. Magic would be sooooo useful. .......But earth ponies are still master race

[1Bit 1,531]

EARTH PONIES!

 

ahem, just had to say it

[PinkieAwesome 65]

There is no better race

Also there are more than two races

So i pick earth ponies

Not to spite..because i would want to be a unicorn myself..because i know ill be one of the powerful unicorns because i love magic and i read and study all these things

 

I pick earth ponies because my top 3 fav ponies are earth ponies

 

Pinkie

Maud

Octavia

 

Though minuette is tied with maud

[GingerLightning 258]

Better at what?

If the question was who would win a war the Pegasi and the unicorns would defiantly Tie.

and I think the Earth ponies would be neutral or even divided between either sides because the earth ponies supply everypony with food.

[Ponies4Bronies 394]

It would be an insult to Dashie if I didn't say pegasus. They are best ponies.

As it's confirmed that Earthies can communicate with creatures and wildlife better (Excluding non Earth ponies like Fluttershy) Pegasi can use the clouds.. Unicorns like Rarity can only really use levitation unlike the Alicorns (Who aren't here I assume because they're a mix) who are extremely powerful. I'd go for Unicorns though because you could expand your abilities if ya tried

[Johnny1226 14,674]

They are both important

[Red Frost 15]

I say unicorn because they can have magical abilities that are beyond the abilities of pegasi. I mean we have Starlight Glimmer who can travel through time and do all this flying with her magic stuff.
