Typhlosion (Japanese: バクフーン Bakphoon) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Quilava starting at level 36. It is the final form of Cyndaquil.
Biology
Typhlosion, in appearance, becomes much different than its pre-evolutions; 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
Typhlosion has a somewhat bearlike physique, with bulky thighs and a collar of fire around its neck. Typhlosion’s ears are thinner compared to Quilava, and lack ear insides. Typhlosion’s face, underside, arms, and legs are a shade of cream, and its back is dark blue. 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. On Typhlosion’s rear is a spiky, coarse fringe of its back fur.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
When a Typhlosion's health drops in battle, the Blaze ability comes into play. This gives its Template:Type2 attacks a boost of 1.5 times their normal power. Typhlosion hides behind a shimmering heat haze that it creates using its intensely hot flames. It can even generate enough heat to make any object go up in flames when angered. It can also rub its blazing fur together to cause huge, devastating explosive blasts, also capable of burning anything to cinders, and its Flame Wheel is second to none.
Behavior
Its personality has dramatically changed since it was a Cyndaquil, being rather quick-tempered and making anything go up in flames when angered. It also now is a natural biped, in contrast to its pre-evolutions. Most artwork of Typhlosion display it with its mouth open, as if yelling in fury.
Habitat
Typhlosion make their nests along mountainsides and heated grasslands. However, they are rarely found in the wild, with the majority being evolved from a Cyndaquil that Professor Elm gives to the Johto region's beginning Trainers.
Diet
Typhlosion have several sharp canine teeth along their gumlines, suggesting a carnivorous diet.
In the anime
Major appearances
Typhlosion's first anime 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.
Other
Minor appearances
Typhlosion made its main series debut in Gonna Rule The School at the Pokémon Trainer's School.
Another Typhlosion appeared in Poetry Commotion under the ownership of Mr. Moore, Flannery's grandfather.
In the manga
Gold's Quilava evolved into Typhlosion to protect Silver, Crystal, and himself from Lugia.

Trivia
Origin
The appearance of this Pokémon is based on a badger or wolverine.
Name origin
Typhlosion's name is a combination of typhoon and explosion. Its name is also similar to the word typhus, a Greek word meaning 'hazy' (which would describe the effect that the intense heat Typhlosion generates has on the air surrounding it), and may also be related to tephra, volcanic material. The name is also similar to the word "typhlosaurus", a genus of skink (a kind of lizard) characterised by their lack of legs. The first three syllables of its Japanese name spell 爆風 bakufū, blast, and the second part comes directly from typhoon.
In other languages
- German: Tornupto - From tornado and eruption.
- French: Typhlosion
- Korean: 블레이범 Blaibom - A portmanteau of blaze and possibly bomb.
