Anime :

In episode 1, It defeated Benkei Hanawa and five other Face Hunters alongside Flame Sagittario. Later, it managed to win a 100 to 1 battle against all of the Face Hunters but Kyoya.

In episode 2, it is repaired by Madoka in preperation for its battle with Kyoya and Rock Leone. Even though Kyoya picked a location where he would have an advantage, Gingka managed to win using StarBlast Attack.

In episode 3, Kenta thought Gingka was leaving the town because he had defeated its strongest blader, so he challenged Gingka to a battle. Sagittario managed to endure Pegasus' attacks for hours, seeing as when the battle ended, it was evening. However, Pegasus defeated it with a Special Move.

In episode 4, it battled Benkei's new Beyblade, Dark Bull. When the battle brought part of the ceiling down, Benkei saved Gingka and Pegasus, but then resumed their battle. Pegasus won using a Shooting Star Attack.

In episode 5, It battled Mad Cancer in a three-round battle. It won the first round, but lost to a crab trap in the second round. It blew away all of the mud and crabs with Tornado Wing and won the battle.

In episode 8, it participated in Merci's fake TV show, "Challenge Blader". it defeated many opponents including a gigantic beyblade.

In episode 9, It battled Storm Aquario and won when Gingka spotted the sun's reflection on Aquario's metal and hit the real one with StarBlast Attack.

In episode 10, It fought Rock Leone. After a close battle, it won after learning a new move, Meteor Shower Attack.

In episodes 11 and 12, it battled its way through the Dark Nebula castle, ultimately defeating Doji and Dark Wolf in a bey battle.

In episode 13, It battled Lightning L Drago and lost due to Gingka losing his temper and therefore giving Ryuga more power.

In episode 14, It was shown in Gingka's flashback under the ownership of his father, Ryusei Hagane. Ryusei was teaching Gingka how to wield Pegasus in a battle, but Doji and Ryuga appeared to steal L Drago from its cursed prison. Pegasu Fought L Drago, but was defeated. as the mountain was caving in, Ryusei gave Pegasus to Gingka.

It was not featured again until episode 17, where Gingka used it to overcome many trials on the mountainside, such as an avalanche and an illusory Ryuga.

In episode 18, It completed several challenges in the Bey Forest, by crossing a lake and aiming through a hole in a rock. later, it battled Clay Aries in the Green Hell stadium. Pegasus initially struggled because its performance tip could not get a grip on the glassy surface of the stadium, but after the stadium was shattered by StarBlast Attack, it defeated Aries descisively.

In episode 20, it was shown in the survival battle, defeating five light wheel beys at once.

In episode 21, It was shown battling OTA's beyblades and winning easily.

In episode 22, It faced off against Flame Libra and Rock Leone, but lost due to the Sonic Buster attack weakening Pegasus' spin and Libra's powerful attacks. Kyoya forfeited, removing the damaged Leone from the battle.

In episode 24, It battled Earth Eagle and claimed what seemed like an easy victory, until Gingka realized Tsubasa had been holding back.

In episode 28, It battled Dark Cancer in the finals of a tournament, and despite Tetsuya's tricks, defeated it by knocking it through the wall of the stadium.

In episode 30, It battled Thermal Pisces. although it struggled for a bit, Gingka's desperation and Pegasus' speed created a vacuum around Pisces, nullifying the air currents and blasting it out of the stadium. This technique was later name Storm Bringer.

In episode 32, It battled Rock Leone, Earth Eagle, Flame Libra, Flame Sagittario, and Rock Aries. Since Gingka was perceived as the most powerful blader in the battle, Yu and Tsubasa argued over who should defeat him. Eagle and Libra soon started attacking each other with shockwaves that threatened to tear the stadium apart, so Gingka tried to stop this by ordering Pegasus to rush headlong into the explosion, hoping to stop Eagle or Libra. The battle ended with Pegasus, Eagle and Libra in a sleep out, with only Leone and Sagittario still spinning (Aries had been defeated previously). Leone beat Sagittario, so Kyoya won the match.

In episode 33, It battled Burn Phoenix, and after a close battle, it lost, much to Gingka's dismay, as Phoenix crushed his Beypointer.

In episode 34, It battled Earth Virgo and had some trouble getting around the defense of its GB145 Spin Track, until Pegasus used Storm Bringer. Soon after, Gingka officially decided to name it that.

In episode 36, It battled Storm Capricorn in a stadium with moving walls. Tobio and Capricorn had the advantage, as they could bounce of the walls, or shoot in between them with a quick Sniper Shot. However, Pegasus was powerful enough to actually destroy the walls , giving it enough space to use Storm Bringer and win the battle.

In episode 37, It briefly was shown blowing away the fire pit in Busujima's stadium so Sora could defeat him.

In episode 38, It interrupted Kenta's second battle with Tsubasa, and was about to battle him when Phoenix appeared and challenged both Gingka and Tsubasa to a battle.

In episode 39, it battled Burn Phoenix again. Since Gingka had mastered his new special move, he defeated Phoenix's fire attacks and claimed his points back.

In episode 40, It took center stage in a battle with Flame Libra. after a hard-fought battle, it emerged victorious.

In episode 42, It fought Thermal Pisces and seemed to be losing at first, but Gingka was able to withstand theBlazing Inferno attack and defeated Ryutaro and Pisces.

In episodes 46 and 47, it had a drawn out battle with Poison Serpent. Pegasus had a hard time adapting to Serpent's track change, but was able to hold out long enough to win with Storm Bringer.

In episodes 50-52, It battled Lightning L Drago in the final battle. Although Gingka had a 0.02% chance of winning, He managed to pull through with the power of Hikaru, Tsubasa, and Kyoya's bey spirits and his new special move,Galaxy Nova. Pegasus had defeated the Dark Power, and then crumbled to dust after because it had exerted all of its energy.

SPECIFICATION :

Face: Pegasis

The face on this Beyblade depicts a Pegasus, one of the 88 constellations in space.

Clear Wheel: Pegasis

• Weight: 2.9 grams

The original release of Pegasis is a blue transparent plastic wheel. The edges of the Clear Wheel are shaped in a wing like pattern, each ending in a pointed ‘head’ shape, representing the body form of Pegasis, the symbol its design is influenced by.

Metal Wheel: Storm

• Weight: 30.4 grams

The main shape of Storm consists of three wing like forms, which are used for mediocre Smash Attack. Storm as a wheel is severely outclassed, and should only be considered when no better parts are available.

Track: 105

• Weight: 1 gram

This track is currently the fourth lowest track available, but is outclassed in terms of Attack and Stamina by the 85, 90, and 100 Tracks. 105 has no problem with floor scrapes, but still is an outclassed part and should only be chosen when none of the aforementioned Tracks are available.

Bottom: Rubber Flat

• Weight: 0.8 grams

RF, as its name implies has a flat, hard rubber tip, with a small indentation on the base of the tip. Its tip has just about the same width as WF, and is the second highest Bottom next to HF/S, which makes the second shortest Track, 90, particularly useful in combination with this part.

By using its wide surface area and rubber material, the Bottom has a large amount of traction against the stadium floor, resulting in a such a fast and powerful attack pattern that it often renders itself useless by self-KOing the Beyblade it is being used on. Part of the blame for this problem can be put on the poor Tornado Ridge of the Attack Stadium, but the fact remains that RF was designed long after the release of the Attack Stadium, and should be able to maintain itself within it. To alleviate this problem it is recommended that you never use a brand new RF in any sort of competitive situation, as its likelihood of self-KOing is much higher; wear it down a little with some practice battles first. When this is done, the rapid movement of RF may subside slightly, but it becomes more controllable, and thus, more useful.

The use of rubber and the friction it creates with the stadium floor does lower its Stamina in comparison to plastic flat tips such as F and WF, but this is usually not a problem as an Attack types goal is to KO the other Beyblade, and it also helps reduce the recoil of violent wheels such as Sagittario.

Mold Variations

SonoKong mold: left, TAKARA-TOMY mold: right

RF has two different molds. The original TAKARA-TOMY manufactured RF, and then the SonoKong manufactured RF variant. Some of the TAKARA-TOMY RFs tend to spin around freely when twisted between fingers, due to the circular nature of the rubber that held the tip itself into place. However this problem was rectified by the SonoKong mold which flattened two opposite sides of the rubber that holds the tip itself into the plastic section of the Bottom itself. The flattened sides make it impossible to spin the tip freely, thus solving the problem.

The performance difference between the two molds is negligible, but it is likely that the SonoKong mode would be more sturdy by not spinning around.

Use in Attack Customization

RF is considered by many to be the best Attack Bottom currently available, and is currently in use for all of the current top-tier Attack customs including: Gravity Perseus R145 RF, MF Lightning L Drago CH120RF, MF Pegasis145RF, Vulcan Horuseus 85RF, and MF Lightning L Drago BD145RF.

Use in Defense Customization

After heavy use, RFs tend to wear down, and their movement is reduced significantly. When this is the case, the traction created by the rubber can be useful to keep the blade from being knocked from the stadium. RF can be used effectively in the Defense customization MF-H Earth Bull GB145RF.

Use in Balance Customization

NOTE: The Libra Wheel is now Legal under WBO Organized Play Official Rules.

Long before Libra was banned, it surprisingly found use in a very specific Balance customization; in fact, it was really the only competitively viable Balance customization at that point in time. The custom is Libra CH120RF. Here is how it performed against the current staple customs of the time:

• Versus Virgo DF145D -- use 120 height

Even though Libra is the heaviest Wheel ever created, because its weight is focused around the outside, it is still quite agile with RF. On its own, Libra is not a very effective Smash Attack Wheel, but its weight distribution in combination with the fast moving RF allow it to achieve an astonishing 90% win rate against Virgo DF145D. 120 height must be used in order for the Metal Wheels to make contact or it won't work.

• Versus Quetzalcoatl 90RF -- use 145 height

By switching to 145 height, the Track will absorb all of the hits dealt by Quetzalcoatl. The weight of Libra combined with the grip of RF give it enough defense to withstand most attacks, and again, the win rate is 90%.

• Versus MF Libra C145WB -- use 120 height

The win ratio against the top tier Defense combo isn't that great -- only about 60% -- but this still isn't bad, considering how strong it is against the other two types. If you can avoid using this combo against Defense-types, you should, but if you're forced into that situation you can win with a perfect shot and a little luck.

To effectively use this custom, you absolutely had to be able to perform Sliding Shoot because the window for landing a successful attack was much smaller than with other Storm or Quetzalcoatl-based Attackers. A skilled Blader could use this customization as an answer to almost anything that is thrown at them. However, during the time Libra was banned, this custom's use diminished greatly due to the multitude of parts that were released in its absence. It is still usable against Attack types, and Stamina types on lower Tracks, but it is nowhere near as versatile as it once was.

Overall

Storm is a decent Attack type Wheel, and 105 does have its uses in the absence of 90 and 100, but RF is without a doubt what makes this an essential buy for every competitive Blader. The Bottom can be unstable and hard to control, but if it is worn down a little and the proper skill is applied, it can be deadly. Using RF correctly can result in almost instant wins in the stadium. Every Blader should own multiples of this Beyblade.

Special Attacks :

• Shooting Star Attack(StarBlast Attack): Pegasus flies into the sky and slams the enemy beyblade. Ginga often uses this as a counterattack when an enemy sends Pegasus flying.

• Meteor Shower Attack: Pegasus flies into the air like in Shooting Star Attack, but then Pegasus's constellation shows up and Pegasus falls on its enemy assisted by little blue meteor objects from its constellation.

• Tornado Wing: Pegasus launches white blades at the enemy from its wings and creates wind.

• Storm Bringer: Pegasus circles its opponent so fast it creates flames. The flames suck up all of the air surrounding the opponent, creating a vacuum so powerful it blasts the opponent out of the stadium.

• Galaxy Nova: Pegasus flies up to the galaxy and creates a strong beam to shoot down and attack the other bey.

Game :

Storm Pegasus was released in Wave 1. It is an attack type. There was also a limited edition version released in Wave 2 with the Super Vortex Stadium.
