The Charmeleon is a fictional species of Pokémon from the Pokémon series of video games. Charmeleon is numbered 005 in the National Pokédex, and is a Stage 1 Stage Pokémon (following Charmander at level 16, and followed by Charizard at level 36).

Charmeleon is a Fire Pokémon. It usually weighs around 18.9 kilograms (42 lbs) and has a height of 1.09 meters (3'7").

Availability

The only way to get Charmeleon is to evolve a Charmander.

Name origin

Probably from char (burn) and chameleon.

Strategy

Since Charmeleon's Special Attack is about 25% higher than its physical Attack, it is best by far using fire moves than anything else. Defensively, it's Special Defense is about 12% 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 Charmeleon, the use the following chart (the number in the parenthesies - the actual damage/physuical 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):

  1. Ground, Rock - (2)
  2. Water - (1.78)
  3. Fighting, Flying, Ghost, Normal, Poison - (1)
  4. Dark, Dragon, Electric, Ice (Only in Template:Game name, Template:Game name and Template:Game name), Psychic - (0.89)
  5. Bug, Steel - (0.5)
  6. Fire, Grass, Ice (Not in Template:Game name, Template:Game name and Template:Game name) - (0.45)

Pokédex data

Template:Pokedata

Naturally learnt attacks

These are attacks which are learnt naturally by Charmander — that is, learnt without the use of a TM or HM (automatically learned once they reach a certain level).

The rows entitled with acronyms are used to identify at what level the Pokémon learns that attack in that game. For example, if the number "7" was in a row entitled RGB beside an attack named "Foobar", than that Pokémon would learn the attack "Foobar" at level seven in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green.

Any attacks which are learned at "Catch" means that they already know that attack when they are caught, or learn it before evolving into this form. N/A means that that attack is not learnable in that game. Any attacks which are learned a "Evolve" are learned when they evolve.

RGB stands for Red/Green/Blue, Y stands for Yellow, GSC stands for Gold, Silver, Crystal, RS stands for Ruby/Sapphire, FRLG stands for FireRed/LeafGreen, and GSC/FRLG stands for Gold/Silver/Crystal/FireRed/LeafGreen.
