Charmander (ヒトカゲ, Hitokage) is a Fire–type Pokémon. It evolves into a Charmeleon starting at level 16. It is one of the three First partner Pokémon that can be chosen in the Kanto region.
Physiology
Charmander is a small, bipedal, dinosaur-like Pokémon. Most of its body is colored orange, while its underbelly is a pale light-yellow color. It has four small fingers on each hand and three claws on each foot. Charmander, like its evolved forms, has a flame that constantly burns on the end of its tail. However, If the flame on Charmander’s tail goes out, Charmander’s life will come to an end.
Characteristics
The power of Charmander’s flame attacks can be gauged by the size of the flame on its tail.
Behavior
Charmander is easily the most mild-mannered and well-behaved of its evolution line. Its feelings and emotions can be read by the flame on the tip of its tail. It flares up in a fury when Charmander is angry. The flame will flicker and grow small and dim If Charmander is sick or hurt. If it growls that means it’s angry or is about to attack.
Charmander however doesn’t do well with impatient people. It doesn’t appreciate being rushed, and most of the time, will not allow it. It is a sweet Pokémon, but is feisty nonetheless. Charmander doesn’t enjoy accepting favors, because it feels it owes something in return. It is extremely loyal to its loved ones, and knows a good thing when it sees it. It will treat those in its life accordingly.
Charmander is rarely found in the wild since it’s a First partner Pokémon. Sometimes they gather in extremely hot areas such as active volcanoes or in craggy mountains and in caves along the coast of the Sevii Islands.
