Quilladin (ハリボーグ Hariboogu) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI. It is the evolved form of the Grass-type Starter of Kalos, Chespin.

Biology

Physiology

Quilladin is a porcupine-based Pokémon. It has two layers: the above is painted green and the under is dyed brown. On the top of its ears, nose, and tail, the color is orange.

When Chespin evolves into Quilladin, the hard spikes on its body grow even sturdier.

Behavior

Despite its prickly appearance, Quilladin is considered a gentle Pokémon that avoids battle. Quilladin uses its sturdy shell to repel attacks and strike back with its pointed spines.

Evolution

Quilladin evolves from Chespin starting at level 16. It then evolves into Chesnaught, starting at level 36.

Trivia

• Quilladin is the first Pokémon who's name begins with the letter 'Q' since Quagsire, Quilava, and Qwilfish in Generation II.

Origin

Quilladin may be based on a hedgehog. It may also be based on an armadillo or pangolin due to its more round shape, as both animals mentioned are known to roll up to protect themselves. Its shell may be based on chestnuts or possibly a knight's armor, as evidenced by part of its name possibly originating from "paladin".

Etymology

Quilladin comes from quill and paladin (a type of knight). It may also incorporate pangolin.
