Biology

Physiology

Like its pre-evolution, its top half of the body is blue; however, its entire body is slimmer. It also seems to have ears and to have lost its snout that it had as a Cyndaquil. It has flames on its head and tail.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Quilava is the evolution of Cyndaquil. Its fur is non-flammable, so it can withstand flame attacks. The fire coming from its head and rear, which are stronger than Cyndaquil's, can be launched as a flame attack.

Behavior

They're known to be less timid than Cyndaquil, though their behavior appears to be affected by their surroundings. A very common thing they under go during evolution is they race off in search of powerful opponents.

Habitat

Quilava have been known to adapt to many habitats; however, they are usually found in the care of Trainers.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

In the anime

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 Cyndaquil 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.
