Quilladin is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI. It evolves from Chespin starting at level 16 and evolves into Chesnaught starting at level 36. Take a look below for 20 awesome and amazing facts about Quilladin.

1. Quilladin is a bipedal, mammalian Pokemon with some plant like features.

3. The shell covers everything except its face, lower body and legs, and the undersides of its arms.

4. The visible parts of its body are dark brown, except for its lighter face. 

5. The face has dark, oval eyes, a small, pink nose on a pointed snout, a dark brown, sideways triangle on each cheek, rodent-like incisors, and a three-pointed patch of dark brown fur on its forehead.

6. On either side of its head is a large, ear-like spike with reddish tips.

7. Its tail also has a reddish tip. Its shell is banded over its arms and on its back, and the fur on its lower body creates a three-pointed pattern on its front.
