Quilava first appeared as a {{p|Cyndaquil}} in ''[[EP141|Good 'Quil Hunting]]''. On the way to [[Azalea Town]], {{Ash}} heard from a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Koji]] that the forest was populated with Cyndaquil. Ash decided to search for one, but he was separated from his friends and chased into a cave by {{TRT}}. While running through the cave Ash found Cyndaquil. The two of them were attacked by [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]], but Cyndaquil unleashed a powerful {{m|Flamethrower}} to defeat it. The mecha began to explode, so Ash threw a {{i|Poké Ball}} and {{pkmn2|caught}} Cyndaquil in an effort to protect it from the blast. Koji then reappeared and challenged Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}} for ownership of Cyndaquil., which Ash accepted against {{ashfr}}' orders. Cyndaquil, despite having the [[type]] disadvantage, was able to use its speed and {{m|Tackle}} attack to defeat Koji's {{p|Sandslash}}. Koji then resorted to stealing Cyndaquil anyway in a net, only to get badly burned when the Pokémon used a Flamethrower at him. | Quilava first appeared as a {{p|Cyndaquil}} in ''[[EP141|Good 'Quil Hunting]]''.

Although Misty thought Cyndaquil was a good choice, it was tired and its flame wasn't ignited, causing Cyndaquil to struggle. Eventually, Ash [[recall]]ed Cyndaquil back and replaced it with {{AP|Chikorita}}. Later, Cyndaquil went up against Bugsy's last and most powerful Pokémon, his {{TP|Bugsy|Scyther}}. After dodging some of Scyther's {{m|Fury Cutter}}s, Cyndaquil finally managed to ignite its flames, although Scyther kept using {{m|Swords Dance}} to defend itself from Flamethrower. Eventually, Ash told Cyndaquil to attack Scyther from above, allowing him to bypass its defensive strategy and win the battle, earning him the {{badge|Hive}}. | ||
Cyndaquil's sluggish battle skills were overcome in ''[[EP152|Hot Matches!]]'', where it was outclassed by [[Miki]]'s {{p|Skarmory}}. Ash trained with Cyndaquil, raising its attack and speed, and it also learned to ignite the flames on its back at will whilst fending off some {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Beedrill}}. In a [[rematch]], Cyndaquil took down Skarmory with Flamethrower. | Cyndaquil's sluggish battle skills were overcome in ''[[EP152|Hot Matches!]]'', where it was outclassed by [[Miki]]'s {{p|Skarmory}}.

In ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', Cyndaquil easily took down [[Whitney]]'s first two Pokémon. However, [[Whitney's Miltank]] proved far too powerful and knocked out Cyndaquil with a trio of {{m|Rollout}}s. In the [[EP159|rematch]], it lost to Miltank again, but managed to tire it out so that {{AP|Pikachu}} could finish the battle. Against [[Morty]] in ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', it defeated Morty's {{p|Gastly}} with Tackle, since Gastly was still vulnerable to physical attacks from {{AP|Noctowl}}'s {{m|Foresight}}. Later, Cyndaquil was stuck battling against {{p|Haunter}} after it used {{m|Mean Look}}. It managed to strike with Swift and counter {{m|Hypnosis}} with a {{m|Smokescreen}}, but Haunter plucked Cyndaquil from the safety of the smoke and used {{m|Lick}}. It then tossed it to the ground, eliminating it from the battle. | In ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', Cyndaquil easily took down [[Whitney]]'s first two Pokémon.

It took part in Ash's [[Olivine Gym]] battle in ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]'', where Cyndaquil took down [[Jasmine]]'s powerful {{TP|Jasmine|Steelix}}. Steelix used {{m|Sandstorm}} to block Flamethrower, and a series of {{m|Dig}}s and {{m|Iron Tail}}s to attack Cyndaquil. However, Cyndaquil managed to hide in the holes dug by Steelix and took it down with an inferno fed by a sustained Flamethrower, winning Ash the battle and earning him the {{Badge|Mineral}}. | It took part in Ash's [[Olivine Gym]] battle in ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]'', where Cyndaquil took down [[Jasmine]]'s powerful {{TP|Jasmine|Steelix}}.
