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.

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 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.
In the manga
In Pokémon Special Gold took the Cyndaquil from Professor Elm's lab to try to catch the thief Silver.
In the TCG
Other appearances
When released from a Pokéball, Cyndaquil will aim a Flamethrower diagonally towards the ground in one direction. It is one of the easiest Pokémon to avoid, however. It can also be knocked off the screen.

Origin
Its appearance is based on the echidna.
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.
