Quilava (Japanese: マグマラシ Magmarashi) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Cyndaquil starting at level 14 and evolves into Typhlosion starting at level 36.

Biology

Quilava is a slim quadruped Pokémon. The top half of its body is blue, while the lower half is cream. Its ears are triangular with red insides, and it possesses a rounded nose and red eyes. It has five red spots on its body that can project flames: two in a somewhat exclamation-mark shape on its forehead and three lined up horizontally on its rear. The fire coming from its head and rear can be launched as a flame attack. It also uses gusts of superheated air as a battle technique. Quilava's fur is non-flammable, so it can withstand flame attacks. Quilava tends to be rare in the wild, but can sometimes be found living on grasslands.

Major appearances

Ash's Quilava

Ash's Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava in An Old Family Blend! after it fought one of Team Rocket's mechas. He used it during his battle with Nando at the Lily of the Valley Conference, where it battled Nando's Armaldo; the battle resulted in a tie.

Dawn's Quilava

Dawn's Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava in SS024 in order to fight off a swarm of Ariados. It made its main series debut in Goodbye Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!, where Dawn used it in a battle with Ash, and it went up against Ash's Pikachu. However, after a couple of moves were made, the battle was soon called off without a winner.

Other

Quilava debuted in You're A Star, Larvitar, where Ash witnessed a Trainer training with it for the Silver Conference. He also briefly considered getting his Cyndaquil to evolve as a way of training it for the Silver Conference, following Cyndaquil's defeat against Satchel's Magby.

A Quilava appeared in Love, Pokémon Style!, under the ownership of Macy. She used it against Ash during the Silver Conference, but it was defeated by Squirtle's Hydro Pump. Later, in Tie One On!, she used it in her battle against Jackson, where it battled his Poliwhirl and won.

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

A Quilava appeared in The Champ Twins!, under the ownership of Ryan. It was used in a battle against Ash and Dawn alongside a Croconaw belonging to Ryan's twin brother Bryan. The twins were able to defeat Ash's Turtwig and Dawn's Piplup due to the latter two having a lack of teamwork, but they were defeated in the rematch.

Minor appearances

A Quilava appeared in Deceit and Assist, under the ownership of a Pokémon Coordinator participating in the Hoenn Grand Festival.

A Quilava appeared in Weekend Warrior.

A Quilava appeared in Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!.

Two Trainers' Quilava appeared in A Crowning Moment of Truth!, where they were among the Pokémon attending Wela Fire Festival.

Trivia

• Quilava shares its category with Typhlosion and Entei. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
  • Coincidentally, they all learn Eruption.

Origin

Its appearance is similar to most animals in the weasel family, resembling stoats in particular based on its lack of a tail and the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly. Its appearance is also quite close to a paca, a South American rodent with a slender body, spotted skin and tiny ears, as well as a badger.

Name origin

Quilava is a combination of quill (a needle-like hair) and lava (extrusive molten rock).

Magmarashi is a combination of magma and 山荒 yama-arashi (porcupine).
