Typhlosion (Japanese: バクフーン Bakphoon) is a Fire-type Pokémon, and is the final evolutionary stage of Cyndaquil.
Biology
Typhlosion, in appearance, becomes much different than its predecessors; however, some resemblances remain. For instance, it is both a biped and a quadruped, like Cyndaquil and Quilava, respectively. The fiery vents on its back disappear, making way for a new ring of them around its neck and shoulders.
Physiology
The fur of a Typhlosion is very coarse and highly flame-retardant, giving it an extreme resistance to heat and fire attacks. This may also be to keep it from injuring itself during battle when using attacks such as Flamethrower, or Flame Wheel. It also seems to have very sharp claws with which it can use Crush Claw.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Typhlosion is rumored to have an instinctual attack that it uses as a trump card, known as Eruption. This attack is produced by a Typhlosion first heating its body, then rapidly rubbing its thick fur together. As of yet, few trainers have witnessed this monstrosity of offense; however, one would assume that sending it into a battle in which its opponent is equally as strong would cause a Typhlosion to use this secret weapon to end the stalemate - hypothetically, to its own advantage. When a Typhlosion's health drops in battle, the Blaze ability comes into play. This gives its Fire-type attacks a boost of 1.5 times their normal power. Due to a slight shortage of Defense, one would send Typhlosion into battle against a Pokémon which uses mostly physical moves if they hope to use Blaze's bonus to their advantage. Move types can be incorporated into a Typhlosion's attack roster along with its own Fire via TM, including Ghost, Psychic, Poison, Fighting, Steel, Flying, Rock, Ground, Grass, Dark, and Normal. Said TMs include the powerful Solar Beam (an excellent addition, if your Typhlosion has learned the recommended Sunny Day), Earthquake, and Aerial Ace. It has high Special Attack stats, making it a good choice to teach TMs that contain Special moves.
Behavior
Habitat
Most Typhlosion are under the ownership of trainers, having been raised from their basic form after being received as a starter Pokémon in the Johto region.
Diet
Typhlosion have several sharp canine teeth along their gumlines, suggesting a carnivorous diet. As many Fire-type moves, especially ones that are powerful in battle, are best used in Beauty Contests, a Typhlosion that is good for contests would specifically be one that likes dry flavors.
In the anime
Typhlosion's first appearance was in the The Legend of Thunder! special, under the ownership of Jimmy. It was his starter Pokémon, which he got as a Cyndaquil from Professor Elm.
The Volcano Pokémon also appeared in Poetry Commotion under the ownership of Old Man Moore, Flannery's grandfather.
In the manga
Gold's Quilava evolved into Typhlosion to protect Silver, Crystal, and himself from Lugia.
