In Hisui, it evolves from Cyndaquil starting at level 17 and evolves into Typhlosion starting at level 36.
==Biology==
Quilava is a quadrupedal 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 . When exposed to the mysterious energy of Mount Coronet in Hisui, Quilava's evolution is altered, gaining it the type as it becomes Hisuian . As mentioned in , Quilava's flames on its back blaze brightly while it sleeps.Sleep Style Dex
