#155Cyndaquil
FIRECOMMONCyndaquil shows up in the level 20 hunt and averages 24 of loot and 248 XP per kill.
Is Cyndaquil worth hunting?
Among the 30 Pokémon in the level 20 hunt, Cyndaquil ranks 5th for loot per kill — 4% above the level's median.
Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.
65% of all loot comes from a single item: Fox Tail. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Fire Stone (5,000 at the NPC), at 0.06% chance — on average one every 1,695 kills.
For XP it ranks 20 of 30 at this level — 248 per kill.
