Quilladin

Quilladin in the anime

Quilladin physically appeared in Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!, where it developed a crush on Serena's Eevee before being rejected, then tried its luck with a wild Flareon with no success.

Quilladin's origin

Quilladin seems to combine a hedgehog with a chestnut, possibly with nods to armored mammals such as pangolins, armadillos, and glyptodonts. Its round, bulky build may reference the husk that protects a chestnut, and its name may join quill and paladin.

Quilladin on cards

Quilladin's earliest card was a Kalos Starter Set card illustrated by 5ban Graphics, who also illustrated its XY base set Uncommon. BREAKthrough followed with an Uncommon illustrated by Miki Tanaka, and the Mega Evolution era's Chaos Rising later added a Common illustrated by Hideki Ishikawa.
