A Quilava about to use Flame Wheel.

Quilava first appeared in Love, Pokémon Style! as Macey's Pokémon. She used it against Ash Ketchum during the Silver Conference.

In Shocks and Bonds, Clark, a trainer that likes to conduct battles, like a symphony, used a Quilava and Charizard against Ash's Grovyle and Glalie. Despite the type disadvantage, Ash's Grovyle defeated Clark's Quilava.

A Quilava was used by one of two twin brothers in The Champ Twins in a battle against Ash and Dawn. The other twin used Croconaw.

In the manga

Gold's Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava during a training session at the Day Care center outside of Goldenrod City.

Trivia

Just like Cyndiquil and Typhlosion, Quilava's shiny sprite (in Gold, Silver and Crystal) had a purple flame, this was changed to orange during Generation III.

Origin

Its appearance is similar to most animals in the Mustela genus, although it is most likely a stoat based on its lack of a tail and the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly.

Name origin

Quilava's name is a combination of quill, a needlelike hair, and lava, extrusive molten rock. Its Japanese name is a combination of magma and 山荒 yama-arashi, porcupine. Its German name, Igelavar, comes from Igel and Lava. Its French name, Feurisson, comes from feu and hérisson.
