Cyndaquil (ヒノアラシ, Hinoarashi in Japanese language versions) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Cyndaquil will hop into the air and use Flamethrower. Fire will be coming out of Cyndaquil's back. Anyone that is caught in the attack's radius will take damage. Flamethrower has a small attack radius, so it is easy to avoid. Cyndaquil can be KO'd by any character. If he is attacked constantly by other characters (including the summoner) or items, or is hit with a powerful smash attack, then he will be knocked off the stage. Nothing is rewarded for KO'ing Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil's attack does not harm the summoner.

As a trophy

Cyndaquil features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows:

Cyndaquil

Cyndaquil frighten easily, so they're often found curled up in balls. When threatened, they flare the flames on their backs to drive off enemies. Cyndaquil was one of three Pokemon that trainers could choose from at the beginning of Pokemon Silver, Gold, and Crystal. No one knows if their eyes are open. (Pokemon Gold & Silver 10/10)

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Brawl, Cyndaquil did not return as a Poké Ball Pokémon, but it still appears as a trophy.
