Chimchar (ヒコザル Hikozaru) is a Fire-type Pokémon, and is one of the three starter Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. Starting at level 14, Chimchar can evolve into Monferno.

[edit] Biology

Chimchar are based on monkeys. Being very agile, Chimchar are able to climb the rocky ledges of tall mountains, where they live. Their tails are produced by burning gas in their stomachs. Chimchar also has a light colour stomach with a little swirl at the top on it's chest. The swirl on Chimchar's chest carrys over to its second and third evolutions.The flames do not go out in the rain unlike the flames on Charmander's tails, Chimchar tail flame go out when they go to sleep. Since Chimchars are based on monkeys, Chimchar's cry is more similar to a spider monkey's cry. Chimchar are very rare and only make their nests in cliffsides and rocky mountains. If they were to live in jungles like normal pokemon, there would be forest fires daily.

[edit] Anime

Chimchar first appeared in the Pokémon animé series in "Following a Maiden Voyage". The little fire-monkey was teasing a Piplup after stealing food from it. Piplup then started firing a bubble beam, but Chimchar kept dodging out of the way. Staraptor was hit in Piplup's line of bubbles and created a gust from it's wings that wrecked everything in Professor Rowan's lab. After the sudden happening Chimchar jumped out of a broken window with Piplup chasing after it.

Chimchar appear again with a trainer, Paul. Paul captured Chimchar because he experienced a battle between Chimchar and few others Zangoose. Chimchar uses a very huge Flame Wheel and scared off the Zangoose. Paul is amazed with the power Chimchar produced and decided to capture it.

Chimchar is often ill-treated by Paul. Instead of encouraging him, Paul reprimanded him, making his life miserable. Paul also use his strong Pokémon to train his Chimchar by using all his 4 Pokémon's moves to attack Chimchar. Chimchar suffered major injuries.

When Ash is enter a tag-team battle, his tag-partner is Paul. When Chimchar is attacking a strong Zangoose, Paul made no movement. Then Paul turned away and walk off the arena. Chimchar felt very disappointed. After this, Paul released Chimchar into the wild and said that he don't want Chimchar anymore. Chimchar then soaked in tears.

Ash witnessed the whole event and decided to allow Chimchar to join his team. Chimchar is crying with joy when Ash encouraged him that his move were awesome.
