cmarston1 5,959 November 23, 2016 Share November 23, 2016 I would go with someone like Celestia should be the smartest character in the show instead of Twilight, but that's just me. But after Twilight, I would go with Sunset Shimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGrimoire 4,973 November 23, 2016 Share November 23, 2016 Kinda hard question since there are different things that define "smart"... and we only have the show and their actual actions to sort of give us a hint on how intelligent they are. I don't think you can realistically say who is the smartest when it comes to one over another in many of the cases. If we are talking about the mane 6 only... I would say either Rarity or Fluttershy would be the overall next most intelligent of them If we are speaking of Ponyville.. I would imagine Doctor Whooves, Granny Smith, Cheerilee and maybe Mayor Mare would be up there for different reasons. If we go beyond that... maybe Cadance, Maud or Moondancer again for different reasons. I would imagine Celestia, Luna and Discord are all more intelligent than Twilight. 2 ~No profound statement needed~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodDrops 762 November 23, 2016 Share November 23, 2016 (edited) We all know Gummy is the smartest character, but who would you say is the 2nd smartest? Gummy hat, Nothing else can stay attached while Gummy dances like this. This is the pinical of smartness, he is the most smart being in existence. He can hypnotise you with his tail swish. His hat is the only one not affected, so it has to be rather intelligent.

Merion 783 November 23, 2016 Share November 23, 2016 Celestia and Luna have been around for quite a while, I guess they've seen and experienced (and learned) a lot... Zecora and Granny Smith are both wise, too. 1 click here! ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlareGun45 2,221 November 23, 2016 Share November 23, 2016 Well everypony's smart in their own way. Twilight may be smart academically, but when it comes to family values, AJ is pro. When it comes to socializing, Pinkie is pro. When it comes to animals, Fluttershy is pro; and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter16373 103 November 23, 2016 Share November 23, 2016 (edited) Well this depends on what type of smart you are talking about. For defense I'd say Sombra he set up traps throughout the entire crystal castle to prevent anybody from getting the crystal heart. For spells I'd say Starlight she managed to alter Starswirl spell and created new ones such as the speed clone spell by mixing Accelero and Similo Duplexis. For knowledge it's either gonna be between Discord or Celestia they both have knowledge of multiple things from over a thousand years ago. For everyday problem I'd say Zecora since she basically has a potion for almost every mini problem that ponies have in everyday life examples are such as potion for poison joke, and when she diagnosed Spike about maturing, and etc. Edited November 23, 2016 by Peter16373 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baykush 328 November 23, 2016 Share November 23, 2016 Pinkie Pie. She's was the one who figured they should go to the spa in Games Ponies Play, she immediately knew something was wrong with the smiles in The Cutie Map, she's the only one who kept up with Twilight's explanation of how the portal worked in Rainbow Rocks, she immediately realized Sci-Twi wasn't Twilight, at least faster than the others, she was the only one who bothered to read Twilight's book about Yakyakistan, she know how to play a lot of instruments, she comes up with song lyrics pretty easily on the spot (the normal musical numbers don't count, I mean the ones that the characters acknowledge as songs), she can easily perform mental calculations to know how many days are left for someone's birthday, not to mention she has crazy memorization skills, it was also mentioned in a comic that Starswirl was more similar to her than he was to Twilight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call me Loyalty 1,948 November 23, 2016 Share November 23, 2016 Starlight glimmer is brilliant. Also pinkie pie, but her mind transcends common reasoning, which is likely why twilight had trouble understanding her at the beginning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NullAccount 287 November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 My first thought is Starlight Glimmer, but then I remember that Sunburst is supposed to be smarter but not as skilled as Starlight, so I'd say that Sunburst is the smartest non-Twilight character. https://mlpforums.com/uploads/signature_images/sig-32755.my_mlp_forums_signature_by_flutterfly761-d98iz9d.png[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider float 2,538 November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 (edited) The smartest is likely Starswirled the Bearded. Starlight Glimmer is arguably second smartest, Chrysalis is up there in intelligence as well. Twilight is surprisingly only third or fourth smartest. Sunburst maybe for fuurth or fifth.

M'gann M'orzz 745 November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 A lot of people are saying Starlight but like, Starlight is different she's a prodigy and as such is able to learn easily she IS in the upper tier of intelligence but she lacks wisdom and much weaker characters like Sunburst actually have more knowledge than she does. Starlight is hyper focused on Magic, she's also obviously deeply charismatic she's definitely not UNintelligent but she's not as smart as someone like Sunburst or Moondancer. (and Im saying this as one of her biggest fans on this board) Anyway Im not sure... since I don't think Twilight is the smartest character really ether, she has a lot of knowledge but like Starlight her wisdom is lacking and she's pretty hyper focused into a few fields, I would bet someone like Sunburst probably KNOWS more than her too, they just can't apply it. 1 RARITY IS THE BEST PONY EVER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
