Quilladin (Japanese: ハリボーグ Hariborg) 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.
Biology
Quilladin is a bipedal, mammalian Pokémon with some plantlike features. Most of its body is covered by a green, armor-like shell similar to a chestnut. The shell covers everything except its face, lower body and legs, and the undersides of its arms. The visible parts of its body are dark brown, except for its lighter face. 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. On either side of its head is a large, ear-like spike with reddish tips. 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. Quilladin has three white, clawed digits on its hands and two on its feet.
Quilladin is not aggressive and never starts fights, although it is known to exercise its lower body by running into other Quilladin. When it is forced to defend itself, it relies on its shell to deflect attacks, before counterattacking with its sharp quills. The shell of Quilladin is both sturdy and heavy, which naturally strengthens the lower body of Quilladin. A Quilladin's tackle is powerful enough to send a trailer flying. Due to this body, Quilladin is immune to pain, not even violent collisions will faze it.
Before Generation VII, Quilladin and its evolutionary relatives were the only known Pokémon that could have Bulletproof as an Ability.

Origin
Quilladin seems to be based on a hedgehog combined with a chestnut. It may also draw inspiration from "armored" mammals such as pangolins, armadillos, and glyptodonts. Its bulky, rotund appearance is possibly a reference to the calybium and cupule that protect the nuts of chestnut trees.
Name origin
Quilladin may be a combination of quill and paladin.
Hariborg may be a combination of 蝟 harinezumi (hedgehog), 防具 bōgu (armor), and bogue (French for chestnut shell).
