Quilava is a quadrupedal Pokémon with a long, 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.
In The Champ Twins!, Ryan used a Quilava in a battle against Ash and Dawn alongside his twin brother Byan and his Croconaw. The twins were initially able to defeat Ash's Turtwig and Dawn's Piplup due to the latter two having a lack of teamwork, but they were defeated in the rematch.

This creature's fur is most mysterious—it is wholly impervious to the burning touch of flame. Should Quilava turn its back to you, take heed! Such a posture indicates a forthcoming attack.
Game locations
In Pokémon Colosseum, only one Quilava can be obtained per game without trading, regardless of location.
This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation II.
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.
Origin
Quilava's body is similar to most animals in the weasel family, particularly stoats due to its lack of a tail and the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly with elements of a badger. 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. 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 is a combination of quill (a needle-like hair) and lava (extrusive molten rock).
Magmarashi is a combination of magma and ヤマアラシ (山荒) yama-arashi (porcupine).
