In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', Dawn battled {{an|Lyra}} in the Johto Festival and defeated her. As a prize, Dawn was given an {{pkmn|Egg}}, which was soon abducted by {{TRT}}.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call | In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', Cyndaquil was used in the Performance Stage of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] along with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. Their performance started with Buneary using {{m|Ice Beam}} to create a large frozen path resembling a roller coaster. Cyndaquil proceeded with Flame Wheel, rolling over the path and melting a trench for Buneary to slide on. After that, Buneary charged an Ice Beam and Cyndaquil used Smokescreen in order to cloak themselves above a large frozen spike. When the smoke was blown away, Buneary was seen inside a [[Poké Ball]] made of ice with Cyndaquil standing on top, impressing the judges and securing Dawn a place among the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s advancing to the [[Contest Battle]]s. Later, in ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', it went up against [[Jessie|Jessilina]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in the semifinals of the [[Grand Festival]] along with Buneary.

Since it was hatched as an Egg, Quilava instantly had a strong bond towards Dawn. Prior to its Contest debut, as shown in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', Quilava as a Cyndaquil had developed a love for Contests often showing Dawn its own variations of the moves that she was practicing with her other Pokémon, and sulked when it wasn't picked. | |||
[[Dawn's Piplup]] appears to be jealous over the attention that it gets, though this may be attributed to the fact that Cyndaquil wasn't very responsive to {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} at first. Piplup often attacks it and it in turn fights back, causing frequent squabbles between the two. They seem to be trying to compete for superiority over the other. These fights have stopped ever since Cyndaquil evolved. | |||
It has a tendency to flare up its back when it's happy or when it's showing affection, which Dawn usually ends up getting caught in in the process. | |||
