Quilava is a pure Fire Type Pokemon, and is the second evolution stage of the Pokemon, Typhlosion. It was first released in the games Crystal and Gold, Generation 2.

Quilava is a lot more brave than the relatively timid Cyndaquil, however, this is generally affected by its surroundings. A very common occurrence during evolution is an increase in aggression. Although it has four legs, it sometimes raises itself to two legs, and becomes high enough to use the fighting type move, Focus Punch.

Quilava has been known to adapt to many habitats; however, it is usually found in the care of Trainers.
