}}'''Cyndaquil''' (Japanese: '''ヒノアラシ''' ''Hinoarashi'') is the {{type|Fire}}-[[Types|type]] [[Starter Pokémon]] of the [[Johto]] region.
  +
  +
== Appearance ==
  +
Cyndaquil is a small quadrupedal Pokémon that hold a resemblance to an echidna. They are covered with a flame-resistant fur that is dark blue in color on its back to its head and light yellow on its underside. There are also four red spots of fur on the back that flames can be projected from. A shiny Cyndaquil has yellow fur on its back instead of dark blue.
  +
  +
== Special abilities ==
  +
All Cyndaquil have the ability [[Blaze]] which will cause its Fire-type attacks to do 150% damage when its health is below 1/3 its max HP.
  +
  +
Additionally, when a Cyndaquil is frightened or angry, it can focus its internal energy to produce blazing "spines" of flame from the spots on its back. While it is a quadruped, Cyndaquil is more than capable of maneuvering on two legs.
  +
  +
Cyndaquil are generally timid and not naturally aggressive, and are often seen curled up into a ball for protection. This action leaves its back and special flame-emitting vent fur exposed. When predators and enemies stalk too close, Cyndaquil unleashes a flame from the vents as a deterrent. If provoked further, Cyndaquil will intensify its flames, creating a smokescreen that it uses to confuse its foe, making time to escape.

[[File:CyndaquilFlamethrower.jpg|thumb|right|160px|Ash's Cyndaquil using a Flamethrower attack.]]{{Main|Ash's Quilava}}Cyndaquil has made numerous appearances in the Pokémon anime, mostly as one of [[Ash]]'s Pokémon during his journey in [[Johto]]. His Cyndaquil often shown as very shy and relaxed, sometimes sleeping. When Ash first caught it, it needed time to warm up and use Flamethrower, but with some training it became capable of using its Flamethrower whenever it wanted. It also possessed incredible dodging capabilities, able to wear opponents down by simply evading long series of attacks over an extended period of time. Cyndaquil is currently at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab since Ash decided to make a fresh start when going to [[Hoenn]], leaving all of his Pokémon, except [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], with Professor Oak. In Pokémon episode 650, Ash called Prof. Oak for all his Pokémon from Oak's Lab (leaving behind only Tauros, Sceptile, and Swellow). When he found all his Pokémon (this due to an earlier attempt of Team Rocket trying to steal all of Ash's Pokémon causing an explosion too scatter them around the League Dome) Team Rocket tried stealing his Pokémon again.
