Quilava#156

Its greatest asset is Sp. Atk — higher than 64% of species. Weak point: Defense — lower than 67% of species. This is not the final form yet — it evolves once more, so the numbers above describe this stage, not what it will end up as. Defensively it can rely on 3 weaknesses and 6 resistances.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value.

Sp. Atk and Speed share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.

Which nature to choose

It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (80) is 16 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.

  • Timid +Spe · −Atk Its Speed is higher than 65% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Modest +SpA · −Atk If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

TCG cards (11)

All Quilava cards →

Quilava has 11 cards in 10 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.

Offspring can come from 275 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
