>>2502658Pegasus has a nifty starting point in Cloudsdale. Tricky to maneuver through the clouds, though.
But as soon as the flight skill kicks in, that's very easy to navigate everywhere.
Fast physical skills. Might be a drag to get through random encounters. Earth ponies got their resilience and strength and unicorns can dish up some rather potent low level spells.
Also, a griffon appears to be nice as well, having more physical strength.
But yeah, a pegasus is agile and can run through a lot. As soon as you get weather spells, things become interesting. (casting thundercloud to kill critters while staying out of reach is so awesome)
