In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', Dawn battled {{an|Lyra}} in the Johto Festival and defeated her. As a prize, Dawn was given an {{pkmn|Egg}}, which was soon abducted by {{TRT}}. While it was in [[Team Rocket]]'s possession, it showed signs of hatching. When Dawn finally got it back, it hatched right in front of her eyes, revealing it to be a Cyndaquil.

It has a tendency to flare up its back when it's happy or when it's showing affection, which Dawn usually ends up getting caught in in the process.
[[Dawn's Piplup]] appears to be jealous over the attention that it gets, though this may be attributed to the fact that Cyndaquil wasn't very responsive to {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} at first. Piplup often attacks it and it in turn fights back, causing frequent squabbles between the two. They seem to be trying to compete for superiority over the other. These fights have stopped in subsequent episodes.


In ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'', it battled {{AP|Ash's Grotle|Torterra}} and proved to be a strong opponent even though it had just hatched.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call First Round!]]'', Cyndaquil was used in the Performance Stage of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] along with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. Their performance started with Buneary using {{m|Ice Beam}} to create a large frozen path resembling a roller coaster. Cyndaquil proceeded with Flame Wheel, rolling over the path and melting a trench for Buneary to slide on. After that, Buneary charged an Ice Beam and Cyndaquil used Smokescreen in order to cloak themselves above a large frozen spike. When the smoke was blown away, Buneary was seen inside a [[Poké Ball]] made of ice with Cyndaquil standing on top, impressing the judges and securing Dawn a place among the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s advancing to the [[Contest Battle]]s. Later, in ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', it went up against [[Jessie|Jessilina]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in the semifinals of the [[Grand Festival]] along with Buneary. Together they managed to defeat their opponents and advance Dawn to the final round.

Since it was hatched as an Egg, Quilava instantly had a strong bond towards Dawn. This caused it to develop a rivalry with Dawn's Piplup often fighting with It for Dawn's attention. During the time Dawn spent in Unova its rivalry with Piplup seems to have been subsided. Prior to its Contest debut, as shown in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', Quilava as a Cyndaquil had developed a love for Contests often showing Dawn its own variations of the moves that she was practicing with her other Pokémon, and sulked when it wasn't picked.

[[File:Cyndaquil Egg.png|thumb|200px|right|Cyndaquil's {{pkmn|Egg}}]]
* Of all [[Pokémon Egg]]s owned by main characters, Quilava took the least amount of time to hatch, hatching in the same episode it was obtained in.
* Quilava is the eighth Pokémon to follow the pattern of premiering in a movie and then being captured by one of the main characters. In all cases, the premiered Pokémon is not the same character as the one caught, just the same species. Dawn's Cyndaquil comes after ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. This is only a technical premiere, as Cyndaquil was featured during the original Johto series as well.
* Quilava is the only Pokémon belonging to a main character to have evolved in a [[side story episodes|side story episode]] so far.
