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

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 its 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. He used it during his battle with Nando at the Lily of the Valley Conference where it battled against Nando's Armaldo which resulted in a tie.

#### Jimmy's Quilava

Quilava is Template:Jo's starter Pokémon that he received from Professor Elm. It evolved prior to *The Legend of Thunder!*.

#### Dawn's Quilava

Dawn's Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava in SS024 in order to fight off a swarm of Ariados. She used it during a battle with Ash in *Goodbye Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!* against Ash's Pikachu but the battle was called off without a winner.

#### Other

Quilava first appeared as a cameo in the episode *You're A Star, Larvitar* where Template: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.

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 Template:An. The other twin used Croconaw. The twins were able to defeat Ash's Turtwig and Dawn's Piplup due to a lack of teamwork but were defeated in the rematch.

## Trivia

* Quilava shares its category with Typhlosion and Entei. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
	+ Coincidentally, they all learn Eruption.

### 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).
