CARDEX BACKGROUND
The Pokémon’s story
Before battle, Quilava turns its back on its opponent. This is not retreat: it displays the flames erupting from its back and announces that it is preparing to attack with them. The Pokédex presents this signal as a show of power. An attitude that might seem reckless thus becomes a way to warn and intimidate. To understand what it will do, one must watch its flames rather than the direction of its gaze.
Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.A detail worth noticing
Seeing Quilava present its back at the start of a confrontation does not mean it is giving up. The Pokémon X and Y entries instead associate this movement with displaying its back flames just before an attack.
