Shiny Cyndaquil, evolution chart, 100% perfect IV stats and Typhlosion best moveset in Pokémon Go

Cyndaquil, the Fire Mouse Pokémon, is making its return for June’s Community Day Classic in Pokémon Go. This event celebrates a specific Pokémon and offers players an opportunity to catch them more frequently, with enhanced shiny rates and an exclusive move for Typhlosion!

As a starter Pokémon, Cyndaquil is a relatively rare spawn outside of special events. This Community Day Classic is an excellent opportunity to catch one and complete its evolution line in your Pokédex. If you missed its initial Community Day back in 2018, now is your chance to obtain a Typhlosion equipped with the exclusive move Blast Burn.

While Typhlosion holds a decent place in Pokémon Go, it may not be the top choice among Fire-types in the Go Battle League. However, this event is a perfect occasion to hunt for a shiny Typhlosion if you haven’t added one to your collection yet!

Even if you aren’t a fan of Cyndaquil, make sure to catch as many Pokémon as possible during the Community Day Classic event. The event features double catch XP and double catch Stardust bonuses, which are always beneficial for leveling up your account.

Cyndaquil 100% Perfect IV Stats in Pokémon Go

This Community Day Classic is a fantastic chance to catch a Cyndaquil with perfect IV stats. In Pokémon Go, “perfect” generally refers to a maxed-out, 100% IV Pokémon, which is 15/15/15. This is what players look for to excel in raids and the Master League.

To identify a perfect Cyndaquil based on CP alone, you can use the following values if you are at Level 30 or higher:

Level 30 (wild CP maximum) – 840 CP
Level 35 (weather-boosted wild CP maximum) – 910 CP

For those aiming to use Cyndaquil in the Go Battle League, the stats to look for are:

Great League – 0/15/13 CP
Ultra League – 0/13/15 CP
Master League – 15/15/15 CP

What Does Cyndaquil Evolve Into?

Cyndaquil evolves into Quilava and then into Typhlosion, following a pattern of increasing size and fiery appearance. Cyndaquil evolves into Quilava with 25 Cyndaquil Candy, and Quilava then evolves into Typhlosion with an additional 100 Cyndaquil Candy.

Additionally, Cyndaquil has a unique branching evolution into Hisuian Typhlosion, a regional variant available only through Raids.

Typhlosion Moves and Best Moveset Recommendations

For optimal performance in battles, Typhlosion’s best moveset comprises Incinerate, Blast Burn, and Thunder Punch. Here’s a breakdown of its moves:

Fast Moves

Incinerate (Fire)
Shadow Claw (Ghost)
Ember (Fire)

Charged Moves

Thunder Punch (Electric)
Solar Beam (Grass)
Overheat (Fire)
Fire Blast (Fire)

Legacy Charged Moves

Blast Burn (Fire)
Return (Normal)

Typhlosion, while a solid Fire-type Pokémon, does face competition from stronger options such as Talonflame and Charizard. However, if you need a Fire-type attacker for the Great or Ultra League and lack those alternatives, it’s worthwhile to search for a perfect Cyndaquil during the event.

What Do Shiny Cyndaquil, Quilava, and Typhlosion Look Like?

Shiny Cyndaquil was first introduced during its original Community Day in November 2018. During Community Day events, shiny rates are significantly boosted, making it easier to find a shiny Cyndaquil in the wild.

When evolving your shiny Cyndaquil, you will need 25 Cyndaquil Candy for Quilava and an additional 100 Candy for Typhlosion. Notably, shiny Cyndaquil features a less vibrant color scheme, swapping its teal back and head for a rusty brown, a change that carries through to its evolutions.
