Appearance
Charmander is a small, bipedal, dinosaur-like Pokémon. The majority of its body is coloured orange, while its underbelly is a lighter colour. Charmander, along with all of its evolved forms, have a flame that burns on the end of its tail.
Special Abilities
All Charmander have the ability Blaze, which allows their Fire-type attacks to cause 150% damage if their HP drops below 30%.
As a natural ability, Charmander can produce flames inside of itself and project them from its mouth, which in short means it can breathe fire. The power of its flame attacks can be gauged by the size of the flame on its tail.

Strategy
Since Charmander's Special Attack is about 15% higher than its physical Attack, it is best by far using fire moves than anything else. Defensively, it's Special Defense is about 16% higher than it's Physical, it is better on Pokémon using Special attack types than physical. It is weak to Water, Ground and Rock, and resistant to Bug, Fire, Grass, Ice (Not in Template:Game name, Template:Game name and Template:Game name) and Steel.
If you need to fight a Charmander, the use the following chart (the number in the parenthesies - the actual damage/physical damage without weakness/resistance ratio: multiply the number by the base damage of the move and the attack/special attack of the attacking Pokémon - and the bigger the result, the more damage the move will do):
- Ground, Rock - (2)
- Water - (1.72)
- Fighting, , Ghost, Normal, Poison - (1)
- Dark, Dragon, Electric, Ice (Only in Template:Game name, Template:Game name and Template:Game name), Psychic - (0.86)
- Bug, Steel - (0.5)
- Fire, Grass, Ice (Not in Template:Game name, Template:Game name and Template:Game name) - (0.43)
Origins
Charmander's English name comes from combining the words "Char" (burn) and the later half of "Salamander"
