'''Dawn's Quilava''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのマグマラシ''' ''Hikari's Magmarashi'') is the seventh {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained by {{an|Dawn}}.

===Sinnoh===

[[File:Dawn Cyndaquil.png|thumb|200px|left|As a Cyndaquil]]

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'' [[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', it showed its interest in Contests after watching Dawn practice with her {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} by trying to mimic it with the flames on its back.

In ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', it was used in Dawn's and Ash's Tag Battle against {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]]. It was able to defeat Chikorita with a Flame Wheel combined with {{AP|Ash's Monferno|Infernape}}'s Flamethrower.  

In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', it was used in a Double Battle together with [[Dawn's Mamoswine]]. After using the "Flame Ice" combo, it failed to execute it all of the way and [[Zoey]]'s {{p|Leafeon}} defeated it, along with Mamoswine with a {{m|Magical Leaf}} combined with {{p|Kirlia}}'s {{m|Psychic}}.

Cyndaquil was used in the [[Daybreak Town]] Contest Double Battle Round alongside {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]''. Both of them managed to defeat [[Ursula]]'s {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} in the finals earning Dawn her fifth and final Ribbon.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', it was used in the Appeal Round of the Sinnoh Grand Festival. Together with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, they made an excellent combination that put Dawn through to the next round. Later in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' it battled [[Jessie]] in the semi-finals along with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and got Dawn to the finals.

In [[SS024]], it was used in a battle against [[Johanna]]'s {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}}, but when Piplup and Cyndaquil unleashed their {{m|Whirlpool}}-{{m|Flame Wheel}} combination; the battle was stopped due to them fighting. Cyndaquil then helped Dawn rescue a {{p|Piplup}} and a {{p|Chimchar}} that had escaped from [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab from a group of {{p|Ariados}}.

It became injured when it took a {{m|Poison Sting}} meant for Shinko. It was able to overcome its injury by [[evolution|evolving]] into {{p|Quilava}}. It was able to defeat the leader of the group, a {{Shiny}} Ariados, with its newly learned move, {{m|Eruption}}.

===Unova===

Quilava was introduced to Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}'s Pokémon in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''. It brushed up to Ash, both saying hello and revealing to him that it had evolved. In [[BW093]], it battled [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Quilava first hit Pikachu with Swift before dodging his {{m|Quick Attack}} and stopping {{m|Electro Ball}} with its newly revealed {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. Quilava then covered the field in SmokeScreen before stopping Pikachu's {{m|Iron Tail}} and landing a direct hit with Flamethrower. After their Flame Wheel and Quick Attack clashed in mid-air, [[Cynthia]] stopped the match.

==Personality and characteristics==

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 him for Dawn's attention. Prior to its Contest debut, as shown in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', Quilava had developed a love for Contests often showing Dawn its own variations of the moves that she was practising with her other Pokémon.

* '''Flamethrower Wheel''' Used in the Tag Battle with Khoury and Lyra and Ash and Dawn, It starts off with Cyndaquil running ahead and using Flame Wheel and while Cyndaquil somersaults into the Flame Wheel, Ash's Monferno uses Flamethrower towards Cyndaquil causing more flames to gather and a speed boost towards the target.  

* '''Flame Ice''' is a combination which was created by Mamoswine and Cyndaquil when they were training with Dawn in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]''. It involves Cyndaquil being trapped by Mamoswine's Ice Shard while it uses Flame Wheel.

* '''Flame Wheel-Swift''' is a combination Cyndaquil developed while training with Dawn in [[Twinleaf Town]]. Cyndaquil would perform it by firing a ring of {{m|Swift}} into the air, then jumping into the center and charging {{m|Flame Wheel}}, causing the two moves to mix.

* '''Flaming Whirlpool''' was a combination worked on by Dawn involving both Cyndaquil and Piplup. For the move, Piplup would surround Cyndaquil's Flame Wheel with a {{m|Whirlpool}}, which created the effect of a sphere of water with flames inside. Dawn attempted to use this during her second battle against [[Johanna|her mother]], however the combination failed throwing both Piplup and Cyndaquil to the ground.

* Of all Pokémon Eggs 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 evolve in a [[side story episode]].
