Where to find Cyndaquil

Cyndaquil is not a wild encounter on any of the standard maps.

Cyndaquil can hatch from a Lava Egg or a Scorched Egg. Now and then an encounter on a map turns up an egg instead of a wild Pokémon, and which eggs a map can drop depends on its types. The Lava Egg can drop on Lava Beach, Jungle, Leaf Town, and Wild Desert. The Scorched Egg can drop on Frozen Cave, River Rafting, Lava Beach, Desert Beach, and Wild Desert. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
