Cyndaquil (Japanese: ヒノアラシ Hinoarashi) is a Fire-type Pokémon. Along with Chikorita and Totodile, it is one of the three starter Pokémon available at the beginning of the Generation II games. It is also available in Pokémon Emerald as an award for catching the first 200 Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex.

Cyndaquil comes with the Ability Blaze, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Cyndaquil evolves into Quilava starting at Level 14, then into Typhlosion starting at Level 36.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold / Pokémon LeafGreen
It is timid, and always curls itself up in a ball. If attacked, it flares up its back for protection.
Pokémon Silver / Pokémon FireRed
It usually stays hunched over. If it is angry or surprised, it shoots flames out of its back.
Pokémon Crystal
The fire that spouts from its back burns hottest when it is angry. The flaring flames intimidate foes.
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
Cyndaquil protects itself by flaring up the flames on its back. The flames are vigorous if the Pokémon is angry. However, if it is tired, the flames sputter fitfully with incomplete combustion.
Pokémon Emerald
It flares flames from its back to protect itself. The fire burns vigorously if the Pokémon is angry. When it is tired, it sputters with incomplete combustion.

Name origin

Cyndaquil's name is a combination of the words cinder, meaning ashes, and quill, referring to needlelike hairs. Hinoarashi could be taken to mean 火の嵐, storm of fire, but it is likely to also be based on 山荒 yama-arashi, porcupine.

Its appearance is based on the echidna.

In the anime

Ash Ketchum captured a Cyndaquil in EP141. During it's early days on Ash's team, Cyndaquil off lazy and easily tired-out (e.g. waiting a while for the flames on it's back to ignite so it could use Fire-typed attacks). Ash's Cyndaquil so got over it's short comings. Ash left his Cyndquil and his Johto Team (save for Pikachu) at Prof. Oak's lab when he set out for Hoenn.
