As a Poké Ball Pokémon
When summoned from a Poké Ball, Cyndaquil will hop into the air and use Flamethrower, shooting fire from its back.

It's optimal to grab an opponent while facing Cyndaquil, creating a "trap" of sorts that allows the opponent to take as much damage as possible. Flamethrower has a small attack radius, so it is relatively easy to avoid otherwise.

Cyndaquil's attack does not harm the summoner.
