Cyndaquil (Japanese: ヒノアラシ Hinoarashi) is a Fire-type Pokémon. Along with Chikorita and Totodile, it is one of the three starter Pokémon available at the beginning of the Generation II games. It is also available in Pokémon Emerald as an award for catching the first 200 Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex.
Cyndaquil comes with the Ability Blaze, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.
Cyndaquil evolves into Quilava starting at Level 14, then into Typhlosion starting at Level 36.

In the anime
Cyndaquil first appeared in the anime in Don't Touch That 'Dile as one of the three possible starters in Professor Elm's lab.
Ash Ketchum captured a Cyndaquil in Good 'Quil Hunting. During its early days on Ash's team, Cyndaquil was lazy and easily tired-out (e.g. waiting a while for the flames on its back to ignite so it could use Template:Type2 attacks). Eventually, Ash's Cyndaquil got over its shortcomings. Ash left his Cyndaquil, along with the rest of his Johto team, (save for Pikachu) at Professor Oak's lab when he set out for Hoenn.
Jimmy chose Cyndaquil as his starter Pokémon. By The Legend of Thunder!, it had become a Typhlosion.
Pike Queen Lucy has a pet Cyndaquil.
In the manga
In Pokémon Adventures (aka Pokémon Special) Gold took the Cyndaquil from Professor Elm's lab to try to catch the thief Silver. He named the Cyndaquil "Explotaro" for the explosive fire from its back.
In the TCG
Other appearances
When released from a Pokéball, Cyndaquil will aim a Flamethrower diagonally towards the ground in one direction. It is one of the easiest Pokémon to avoid, however. It can also be knocked off the screen.

NPC appearances

Origin
Its appearance is based on the echidna.
Name origin
Cyndaquil's name is a combination of the words cinder, meaning ashes, and quill, referring to needlelike hairs. Hinoarashi could be taken to mean 火の嵐, storm of fire, but it is likely to also be based on 山荒 yama-arashi, porcupine.
