For best outputs and usage:
Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras
Steps: 30, cfg 7, CLIP skip 2.
VAE: sdxl_vae.safetensors
Pos prompts: unlike other ponies, this pony doesn't use scores. Instead, make sure you use the "PonyXLV6_Scores" embedding (found in my example runs) in your pos prompt. the tag "source_anime" helps well the model to understand a nice anime style.
Note about this embedding: This is LITERALLY just so you don't have to keep typing all of your scores in when you're doing generations.
Neg prompt: "PnyXLno3dRLNeg, SFWPnyNegXL, unaestheticXL_hk1, disconnected penis, disembodied penis, source_cartoon, text, source_realism child, loli, kid, flat chest, small breasts", being the embeddings "PnyXLno3dRLNeg", "SFWPnyNegXL" the same one, "PonyXL_NegScore". This one plus "unaestheticXL_hk1" can be found in my example runs.
