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

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

In Hisui, it evolves from Cyndaquil starting at level 17 and evolves into Hisuian Typhlosion starting at level 36.

Biology

Quilava without its flames lit

Quilava is a quadrupedal Pokémon with a long and slender body. The top half of its body is a dark blue-green, while its underside is cream-colored. It has triangular ears with dark red interiors, a rounded snout, and triangular red eyes. Each of its paws has three toes. It has five red spots on its body that can project flames: two arranged vertically on its forehead and three lined up horizontally on its rear.

Before a battle, Quilava turns its back so its flames face its opponent. It battles using these intense flames in combination with gusts of superheated air. Its own fur is non-flammable, which protects it from other fire attacks. Quilava tends to be rare in the wild, but can sometimes be found living on grasslands. When exposed to the mysterious energy of Mount Coronet in Hisui, Quilava's evolution is altered, gaining it the Ghost type as it becomes Hisuian Typhlosion. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Quilava's flames on its back blaze brightly while it sleeps.

Trivia

• Quilava shares its category with its evolved form and Entei. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
  • Coincidentally, they all are capable of learning Eruption.
• Quilava, Charmeleon, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
• Jeff Kalles, who assisted in the naming of many Generation II Pokémon, suggested the English name for Quilava. According to Kalles, he suggested the name because Nintendo and The Pokémon Company wanted a Pokémon for every letter of the alphabet.

Origin

Quilava's body is similar to that of animals in the Mustelidae family. However, the pattern distribution and shape of Quilava's flames closely resembles the quills and crest of the crested porcupine, especially in its earlier sprites, as well as those of a lowland streaked tenrec. It may also be based on volcanoes due to its triangular profile when standing up and the ability to learn Smokescreen and Eruption.

Name origin

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

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