Chimchars are based on monkeys. Being very agile, Chimchar are able to climb the rocky ledges of tall mountains, where they live. Their fiery butts are produced by burning gas in their stomachs. Chimchar also has a light colored stomach with a little swirl at the top on its chest. The swirl on Chimchar's chest carries over to its second and third evolutions. The flames do not go out in the rain like the flames on [[Charmander]]'s tails, Chimchar's rear flame goes out when they go to sleep. Chimchar is based on a monkey, with a cry similar to a spider monkey's cry. Like regular monkeys, Chimchar are very mischivous, but can show courage at times. Chimchar are very rare and only make their nests in cliffsides and rocky mountains, because If they were to live in jungles, there would be forest fires everyday.

==In the anime==

{{Main|Ash's Chimchar}}A Chimchar first appeared in the [[Pokémon]] anime series in "[[DP001: Following A Maiden's Voyage!|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]". The little fire-monkey was teasing a [[Piplup]] (that is now under Dawn's ownership) after stealing food from it. [[Piplup]] then started to fire a bubble beam, but Chimchar kept dodging the attack. A [[Staraptor]] and a [[Starly]] that were part of Professor Rowan's evolution project, were hit by [[Piplup]]'s [[bubble]]s and created a whirlwind attack from their wings that wrecked everything in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. After these sudden events took place, Chimchar jumped out of a broken window, with Piplup; chasing after it.

A Chimchar appears again with a trainer, [[Paul]]. [[Paul]] captured Chimchar because he witnessed a battle between Chimchar and a group of wild [[Zangoose]]. Chimchar uses a very powerful [[Flame Wheel]] to scare off the [[Zangoose]]. [[Paul]] is amazed with the power Chimchar produced and decided to capture it. {{I|I=AshAdoptChimchar.png|a=left|w=200|c=Ash's hand by a Chimchar}}

{{I|I=PaulChimchar.png|a=right|w=200|c=Chimchar with Paul}}
  
−
Chimchar is often ill-treated by [[Paul]]. Instead of encouraging him, Paul reprimanded him, making his life miserable (as he wants Chimchar to create the same power that scared away the Zangoose). [[Paul]] uses his strong [[Pokémon]] to train Chimchar; by using all his other [[Pokémon]]'s moves at the same time to attack Chimchar (however, he reveals that this is what Chimchar wanted). Chimchar suffered mental injuries because of this.
  
−  
−
When [[Ash]] is enter a tag-team battle, his tag-partner is [[Paul]]. When Chimchar is faced off against a strong [[Zangoose]], [[Paul]] does not command Chimchar to use its attacks. Then [[Paul]] turned away and started to walk off the arena. Chimchar felt very disappointed. After this, [[Paul]] released Chimchar into the wild and said that he doesn't want Chimchar anymore. Chimchar was very upset with Paul's decision.
  
−  
−
[[Ash]] witnessed the entire event and asked Chimchar to join his team. Chimchar is crying with joy when [[Ash]] encouraged him and told him that his moves were awesome.
  
−  
−
In [[The Rise of Darkrai]], [[Alice]] has a Chimchar that she uses to power her hot-air balloon.
  
−  
−
In the episode [[Paul]] vs [[Ash]] part 2 Chimchar evolved into [[Monferno]] but sadly was defeated.
  
−  
−
In the episode "[[DP163: Fighting Ire With Fire!|Fighting Ire With Fire!]] " Monferno evolved into Infernape; saving Piplup, Empoleon and Pikachu; from Team Rocket.

It is set to reappear in the Pikachu short airing along with the 15th Pokémon movie

Revision as of 13:27, 1 March 2015

Chimchar (Japanese: ヒコザル Hikozaru) is the Fire-type Starter Pokémon of the Sinnoh region.

Biology

Physiology

Chimchar are based on monkeys. Being very agile, Chimchar are able to climb the rocky ledges of tall mountains, where they live. A Chimchar's flame is produced by burning gas in its stomach. Chimchar have a light colored stomach with a little swirl at the top on its chest. The swirl on Chimchar's chest carries over to Monferno and Infernape. The flames do not go out in the rain like the flames on a Charmander's tail, but Chimchar's flame goes out when they go to sleep, although, the tail burns weaker when Chimchar is feeling under the weather. Like regular monkeys, Chimchar are very mischievous, but can show courage at times. Chimchar are very rare and only make their nests in cliffsides and rocky mountains.

Evolution

Chimchar evolves into Monferno once it reaches level 14 and into Infernape at level 36.
