Quilava (Japanese: マグマラシ Magmarashi) is a Fire-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Cyndaquil starting at level 14 and evolves into Typhlosion starting at level 36.

Biology

Quilava is a slim quadruped Pokémon. The top half of Quilava's body is blue, while the lower half is cream. Its ears are triangular with red insides, and it possesses a rounded nose and red eyes. It has five red spots on its body that can project flames: two in a somewhat exclamation-mark shape on its forehead and three lined up horizontally on its rear. The fire coming from its head and rear can be launched as a flame attack. It also uses gusts of superheated air as a battle technique. Quilava's fur is non-flammable, so it can withstand flame attacks. Quilava tends to be rare in the wild, but can sometimes be found living on grasslands.

Major appearances

Ash's Quilava

Ash's Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava in An Old Family Blend!, fighting one of Team Rocket's mechas.

Dawn's Quilava

Dawn's Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava in SS024 in order to fight off a swarm of Ariados.

Other

Quilava first played a major role in Love, Pokémon Style! as Macy's Pokémon. She used it against Ash during the Silver Conference but was defeated by his Squirtle. Later in Tie One On!, she used it in her battle against Jackson, where it battled his Poliwhirl and won.

In Shocks and Bonds, Clark, a Trainer that likes to conduct battles like a symphony, used a Quilava and Charizard against Ash's Grovyle and Glalie. Despite the type disadvantage, Ash's Grovyle defeated Clark's Quilava.

A Quilava was used by one of two twin brothers in The Champ Twins! in a battle against Ash and Dawn. The other twin used Croconaw.

Minor appearances

Quilava first appeared as a cameo in the episode You're A Star, Larvitar where Ash witnessed a Trainer training with his Quilava for the Silver Conference and also considered for a short time of getting his Cyndaquil to evolve as a way of training it for the Silver Conference following Cyndaquil's defeat against Satchel's Magby.

A Quilava appeared in Deceit and Assist under the ownership of a Pokémon Coordinator during the Hoenn Grand Festival.

A Quilava appeared in Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!.

In the manga

Quilava in Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Exbo

Gold's Cyndaquil of the Gold, Silver & Crystal arc in Pokémon Adventures evolved into Quilava during a training session at the Day Care Center outside of Goldenrod City. It then became massively more powerful than it was in its previous form, and defeated many of the Johto Team Rocket Grunts' Pokémon for Gold. After being used in Gold's battle with his rival Silver in the ruins of Ecruteak City, it spent several weeks captive inside one of Gold's Poké Balls and evolved simultaneously with Silver's Croconaw and Megaree. In its fully evolved form, it berthed itself even more in battle for the boy.

In Volume 9 the former illustrator Mato, had used a Quilava as a self-portrait.

Trivia

• Quilava shares its species name with Typhlosion and Entei. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
• Quilava is the first Pokèmon that starts with a Q.

Origin

Its appearance is similar to most animals in the weasel family, resembling stoats in particular based on its lack of a tail and the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly. Its appearance is also quite close to a paca, a South American rodent with a slender body, spotted skin and tiny ears.

Name origin

Quilava is a combination of quill (a needle-like hair) and lava (extrusive molten rock).

Magmarashi is a combination of magma and 山荒 yama-arashi (porcupine).
