Information

The Fire-type Gen II starter, a sort of echidna-looking thing with flames on its back instead of quills. It remains pure Fire as it evolves into Quilava and then Typhlosion, turning into more of a weasel or something. Personally I always found Cyndaquil very cute but didn't care as much for the designs of its evolutions, although in the Pokémon world's past when the Sinnoh region was known as Hisui, Typhlosion had a Fire/Ghost form said to purify spirits before guiding them to the afterlife, which is considerably cooler. In the anime, Cyndaquil's back flames weren't always lit, but ignited when it was about to attack; this detail carried over into its 3D models in later games, to some fans' irritation.
