'''Cyndaquil''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒノアラシ''' ''Hinoarashi'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Quilava}} starting at [[level]] 14, which evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Quilava}} starting at level 14, which evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.


Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Totodile}}, Cyndaquil is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Johto]] available at the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
In [[Hisui]], it evolves into Quilava starting at level 17, which evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion starting at level 36.


==Biology==
Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Totodile}}, Cyndaquil is one of the three [[first partner Pokémon]] of [[Johto]] available at the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
Cyndaquil is a small, bipedal Pokémon with bluish fur on top of its body and cream-colored fur on its underside. Its eyes are usually seen closed, and it has a long, thin snout. Its arms are short, but its legs are slightly more developed and have a single nail on each foot. On its back are four red circles that can erupt into flames. When the flames are burning, its back seems to be covered in spines. Cyndaquil is capable of defending itself using these flames, and the fire grows more powerful as it becomes angry or defensive. However, if it is tired, the flames are not able to burn properly. It is usually timid by nature and often curls into a ball when intimidated. Though rare in the wild, it can be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.


==In the anime==
Cyndaquil is also one of the three first partner Pokémon of Hisui in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, alongside {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Oshawott}}.
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Cyndaquil]]====
[[File:Ash Cyndaquil.png|thumb|250px|Cyndaquil in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} a Cyndaquil in ''[[EP141|Good 'Quil Hunting]]''. During its early days on Ash's team, Cyndaquil would easily become tired out (e.g. waiting a while for the flames on its back to ignite so it could use {{type|Fire}} attacks). Eventually, Cyndaquil overcame its shortcomings. Following the end of his {{pkmn|journey}} in [[Johto]], Ash left Cyndaquil, along with the rest of his Johto [[Party|team]] (save for {{p|Pikachu}}), at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab when he set out for [[Hoenn]]. Later, Ash called Cyndaquil back into his party for the [[Sinnoh League]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''. It evolved into {{p|Quilava}} after a {{pkmn|battle}} with {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]].


====[[Jimmy's Cyndaquil]]====
==Biology==
Cyndaquil is {{jo|Jimmy}}'s [[starter Pokémon]] that he received from [[Professor Elm]]. It evolved all the way to Typhlosion prior to ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.
[[File:Jimmy Cyndaquil.png|thumb|left|180px|Cyndaquil without its flames lit]]
Cyndaquil is a small, bipedal {{wp|mammal}}ian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with bluish fur on top of its body and cream-colored fur on its underside. Its eyes are usually seen closed, and it has a long, thin snout. Its arms are short, but its legs are slightly more developed and have a single nail on each foot. On its back are four red circles that can erupt into flames. When the flames are burning, its back has the appearance of being covered in spines.  


====[[Dawn's Cyndaquil]]====
Cyndaquil is capable of defending itself using these flames, and the fire grows more powerful as it becomes angry or defensive. Cyndaquil's firepower is described as being tremendously powerful. However, if it is tired, the flames are not able to burn properly. It is usually timid by nature and often curls into a ball when intimidated. Due to this, Cyndaquil prefers staying hunched over. Though rare in the wild, it can be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Cyndaquil is known to usually sleep curled up.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>On rare occasions, it will spout flames from its back while sleeping.
[[File:Cyndaquil Egg.png|thumb|250px|A Cyndaquil {{pkmn|Egg}} in the anime]]
In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} defeated {{an|Lyra}} in a battle, winning an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Shortly after, the Egg hatched into a Cyndaquil. It later evolved into a {{p|Quilava}} in [[DPS01]].


====Other====
===Evolution===
Cyndaquil debuted in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'' as one of the three starter Pokémon [[Professor Elm]] had to give out at his lab.

When it's angry, it can produce powerful flames, but when it's tired, it has trouble producing fire and suffers from incomplete combustion. When it levels up, it evolves into Quilava. Its squinty eyes are adorable."''

Eventually, Cyndaquil overcame its shortcomings. Following the end of his {{pkmn|journey}} in [[Johto]], Ash left Cyndaquil, along with the rest of his Johto [[Party|team]] (save for {{p|Pikachu}}), at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab when he set out for [[Hoenn]]. Later, Ash called Cyndaquil back into his party for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''.

====Trophy information====
''Cyndaquil frighten easily, so they're often found curled up in balls. When threatened, they flare the flames on their backs to drive off enemies. Cyndaquil was one of the three Pokémon that Trainers could choose from at the beginning of Pokémon Silver, Gold, and Crystal. No one knows if their eyes are open.''
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Cyndaquil no longer come out of Poké Balls and instead return only as a trophy.
====Trophy information====
''"A Fire Mouse Pokémon. It's a timid creature that often curls up into a ball. When threatened, it flares up the flames on its back to scare off enemies. When it's angry, it can produce powerful flames, but when it's tired, it has trouble producing fire and suffers from incomplete combustion. When it levels up, it evolves into Quilava. Its squinty eyes are adorable."''


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Cyndaquil is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon that retains a pure Fire-type throughout its entire evolutionary line.
* Cyndaquil, {{p|Charmander}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* The [[game intro]] for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} features a sprite of Cyndaquil that is slightly different from the one used in the actual game (this is most noticeable in the eyes). This sprite is not used anywhere else.
* Cyndaquil's [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry]] [[Pokédex]] Image features a Cyndaquil battling a {{p|Skarmory}}. This [[List of cross-canon references|references]] the episode ''[[EP152|Hot Matches!]]'', in which [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] battled [[Miki|a trainer's]] Skarmory.
* Cyndaquil was featured in the seventh episode of [[Beyond the Pokédex]] series.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Cyndaquil's appearance is based on the {{wp|echidna}}, but it also has traits of {{wp|shrew}}s, {{wp|anteater}}s, and {{wp|tenrec}}s, such as its long snout, and having little to no tail. Its closed eyes may be a reference to baby {{wp|honey badger}}s, as its final evolved form is based on one. When its fire is lit, the fire resembles the quills of the {{wp|porcupine}}.

The shape of its closed eyes resemble those of baby {{wp|porcupine}}s, as well as its fire, when lit, resembles the quills of the same animal. Cyndaquil could also be based on the Chinese mythological creature called [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%81%AB%E9%BC%A0 Hinezumi], the same as Cyndaquil's species name in Japanese, which is a fire mouse that lives in volcanoes.

Cyndaquil (Japanese: ヒノアラシ Hinoarashi) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into Quilava starting at level 14, which evolves into Typhlosion starting at level 36.

In Hisui, it evolves into Quilava starting at level 17, which evolves into Hisuian Typhlosion starting at level 36.

Along with Chikorita and Totodile, Cyndaquil is one of the three first partner Pokémon of Johto available at the beginning of Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver.

Cyndaquil is also one of the three first partner Pokémon of Hisui in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, alongside Rowlet and Oshawott.

Biology

Cyndaquil without its flames lit

Cyndaquil is a small, bipedal mammalian Pokémon with bluish fur on top of its body and cream-colored fur on its underside. Its eyes are usually seen closed, and it has a long, thin snout. Its arms are short, but its legs are slightly more developed and have a single nail on each foot. On its back are four red circles that can erupt into flames. When the flames are burning, its back has the appearance of being covered in spines.

Cyndaquil is capable of defending itself using these flames, and the fire grows more powerful as it becomes angry or defensive. Cyndaquil's firepower is described as being tremendously powerful. However, if it is tired, the flames are not able to burn properly. It is usually timid by nature and often curls into a ball when intimidated. Due to this, Cyndaquil prefers staying hunched over. Though rare in the wild, it can be found living on grasslands. It has been recently seen living in the Terarium of Blueberry Academy. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Cyndaquil is known to usually sleep curled up.[1]On rare occasions, it will spout flames from its back while sleeping.

Evolution

Cyndaquil evolves into Quilava, which evolves into Typhlosion.

In Hisui, it evolves into Quilava, which evolves into Hisuian Typhlosion.

When it's angry, it can produce powerful flames, but when it's tired, it has trouble producing fire and suffers from incomplete combustion. When it levels up, it evolves into Quilava. Its squinty eyes are adorable."

Trivia

Origin

Cyndaquil appears to be based on an echidna with traits of tenrecs, such as its long snout and having little to no tail. The shape of its closed eyes resemble those of baby porcupines, as well as its fire, when lit, resembles the quills of the same animal. Cyndaquil could also be based on the Chinese mythological creature called Hinezumi, the same as Cyndaquil's species name in Japanese, which is a fire mouse that lives in volcanoes.

Name origin

Cyndaquil may be a combination of cinder (ashes) and quill (referring to needle-like hairs).

Hinoarashi may be a combination of 火 hi (fire) and ヤマアラシ (山荒) yama-arashi (porcupine). It can be taken to mean 火の嵐 hi no arashi (storm of fire).
