Appearance
Quilladin is a bipedal Pokémon and most of its body is covered in a green spiny armor-like shell. The shell covers all but its face, legs, and the underside of its arms. Quilladin has a light brown face and dark brown legs and arms. It has a sort of snout with a pink tip, and long ears that are also tipped in the same pink. It also has a three pronged patch of hair on its forehead and two triangle-like fluffs of hair on its cheeks.
Behavior
Quilladin is by no means an aggressive Pokémon, however, it has been known to exercise by ramming into other Quilladin. When it must defend itself, it relies on its hard shell to shield from attacks before counterattacking with its spiny armor.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Quilladin is weak to Flying, Poison, Bug, Fire, and Ice-type Pokémon, taking twice as much damage as normal when fighting them. It is not immune to any type but it is resistant to Ground, Water, and Grass, and Electric-types, taking only half of the normal amount of damage. Quilladin is damaged normally by Normal, Fighting, Rock, Ghost, Steel, Psychic, Dragon, Dark, and Fairy-type Pokémon.
Best Moveset
Quilladin has a lot of strong moves, including Focus Punch, which is a move that has 150 power and 100% accuracy. Here are Quilladin’s best moves; Focus Punch has great accuracy and power, but will fail if the user takes damage before it hits while Solar Beam has 120 power and 100% accuracy. It charges on turn 1 and hits turn 2, but gets no charge in sunlight. Wood Hammer has a 33% recoil rate and finally, Superpower lowers the user’s Attack and Defense by 1.

How to catch Quilladin in Pokemon Go?

Both Quilladin and Chespin can be found during sunny/clear weather. Quilladin evolves from Chespin at 25 candies, and evolves to Chesnaught at 100 candies. Quilladin is not currently offered in any eggs.

Having Quilladin means players will eventually get Chesnaught, which is another good Pokemon.
