Charmander (Japanese: ヒトカゲ Hitokage) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Charmeleon starting at level 16, which evolves into Charizard starting at level 36.

Along with Bulbasaur and Squirtle, Charmander is one of three starter Pokémon of Kanto available at the beginning of Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, FireRed, and LeafGreen.

Biology

Charmander is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with a primarily orange body and blue eyes. Its underside from the chest down and the soles of its feet are cream-colored. It has two small fangs visible in its upper jaw and two smaller fangs in its lower jaw. A fire burns at the tip of this Pokémon's slender tail and has blazed there since Charmander's birth. The flame can be used as an indication of Charmander's health and mood, burning brightly when the Pokémon is strong, weakly when it is exhausted, wavering when it is happy, and blazing when it is enraged. It is said that Charmander dies if its flame goes out. However, if the Pokémon is healthy, the flame will continue to burn even if it gets a bit wet and is said to steam in the rain.

Charmander can be found in hot, mountainous areas. However, it is found far more often in the ownership of Trainers. As shown in Pokémon Snap, Charmander exhibits pack behavior, calling others of its species if it finds food.

Major appearances

Ash's Charmander

Charmander physically debuted in Charmander - The Stray Pokémon, where Ash, Misty, and Brock found it after it was abandoned by its Trainer, Damian, who only cared about raising strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, believing Damian would return for it. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a Pokémon Center. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and allowed Ash to catch it. It has since evolved into Charmeleon, and then Charizard.

Ash's Charmander also appeared in I Choose You!, which is set in a different continuity from the main series. In this continuity, it previously belonged to Cross and evolved into Charmeleon after defeating a Jigglypuff in battle. It later evolved into Charizard after battling Cross's Lycanroc.

Zippo

Ritchie owned a Charmander nicknamed Zippo, which debuted in A Friend In Deed. It would evolve into Charmeleon by its appearance in A Parent Trapped!.

Team Go-Getters

A Charmander starred in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate! as the leader of Team Go-Getters.

Alain's Charmander

A Charmander appeared in a flashback in Mega Evolution Special I as the unevolved form of Alain's Charizard.

Trevor's Charmander

Trevor's Charmander first appeared in Summer of Discovery!. It would evolve into Charmeleon by A Legendary Photo Op!, and then into Charizard during A League of His Own!.

Other

In Journey to the Starting Line!, Gilbert intended to start his journey as a Pokémon Trainer, but the trio of Kanto starter Pokémon were scared off when Ash's Tauros stampeded through Professor Oak's house. Professor Oak, Tracey, Delia, and Gilbert split up to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found.

In A Six Pack Attack!, a Charmander went with Professor Oak on his trip to Hoenn along with a Bulbasaur and Squirtle.

In The Right Place and The Right Mime, another Charmander was seen in Professor Oak's possession, along with another Bulbasaur and Squirtle.

In The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!, a Charmander was part of Professor Oak's demonstration of the Kanto starters during the Kanto Fair. Another Charmander was owned by the Kanto Fair Host. Seeing it inspired Ash to bring his Charizard back onto his team.

Minor appearances

In Pokémon - I Choose You!, a Charmander appeared in Ash's dream, prompted by an illustration of one from Professor Oak's televised lecture, as his prospective starter.

In Battle Aboard the St. Anne, multiple Charmander were aboard the St. Anne.

The Electric Tale of Pikachu

Main article: Ash's Charmander

Ash's Charmander makes a few appearances in The Electric Tale of Pikachu.

The capture of Ash's Charmander diverges considerably from the anime. In the manga, Damian seems to have abandoned his Charmander at the beginning of the chapter Pikachu's Excellent Adventure, but it turns out that he had just been injured and went to the hospital.

Ash is shown to own a Charmander despite this, his own Charmander first appears in You Gotta Have Friends. Ash's Charmander's capture is not shown in the manga, instead, when Charmander first appears from its Poké Ball, it is simply stated that "Ash has been busy since the last comic".

Ash's Charmander reappears as a Charizard in the chapter The Indigo Finals at the Indigo Plateau Conference. In this chapter, Charizard battles Charley, Ritchie's own Charizard.

He has since evolved into Charmeleon before facing off against Brock of Pewter City, and then to Charizard before the Silph Co. battles against Team Rocket.

Green's Charmander has evolved into Charizard. It seems to be able to skip the Charmeleon stage, as it was seen evolving directly into Charizard. Although it has devolved back to the Charmander stage, it currently seems to have permanently evolved back into Charizard.

"A Lizard Pokémon. It just downright likes hot stuff. The always-burning tail indicates its mood--waving gently when content and burning intensely when angry. If the tail were to go out, it would be the end of Charmander's life. Its tail is believed to emit steam when it rains. Charmander evolves into Charmeleon by leveling up."

Game data

NPC appearances

  • In PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure Charmander is one of Pikachu's best friends. After falling through the mysterious tunnel, he almost lands into a pool of molten lava only to be saved by the zone leader, Blaziken. He was then taken in as Blaziken's pupil and trained to become stronger. After he's been found, he journeys to the Meeting Place where he helps Piplup mend the balloon, and makes fireworks. He later accompanies Pikachu to the Sky Pavilion along with Piplup and Chikorita where he meets Mew. Once the Sky Prism has been restored, Charmander celebrates by firing off the fireworks he made.

Trivia

 
$1 coins from Niue
  • Niue released a one-dollar coin featuring Charmander as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Charmander on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
  • In Generation I, on its sprite and first artwork, Charmander's "back" is depicted as having a small line of spikes. The spikes were not shown in the sprites and artwork of later generations. Blue's Charmander also had these spikes in the Pokémon Adventures manga, where the spikes were larger and easier to see. The spikes were also seen on Green's Charmander from the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga.
  • Charmander has the longest name of all unevolved starter Pokémon.
  • Charmander is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the Field Egg Group.
  • Charmander, Cyndaquil, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats.
  • Charmander's hand has an inconsistent number of fingers in its designs. The original sprites designed by Atsuko Nishida for Pokémon Red and Green featured three fingers, while the artwork Ken Sugimori drew based on those sprites had four fingers. Currently, the Trading Card Game, anime (including movies and specials), artwork unrelated to games and merchandise use the three-fingered hand design; while the 3D models and the artwork based on those (such as the ones made for Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!) feature the four-fingered hand design.

Origin

Bulbanews
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:
On the Origin of Species: Charmander

Charmander's design was based on Charizard in such a way that it was surprising to see it evolving into the latter Pokémon.[1] In particular, Charmander was designed as a lizard,[1] possibly referencing the mythical salamander (as opposed to the real-world amphibian of the same name that inspired its mythical counterpart). This salamander was a fire spirit capable of surviving in extreme heat or flames, and it is sometimes creatively rendered or interpreted in the shape of a lizard. As Charizard is based on a European dragon, Charmander's lizardlike design seems to reference how Western dragons in folklore are heavily inspired by lizards and other reptiles, as well as how various types of lizards are likened to (and named after) dragons due to this connection. Its bipedal design resembles a baby therapod dinosaur.

Name origin

Charmander is a combination of char (to burn) and salamander.

Hitokage is derived from 火蜥蜴 (salamander): 火 hi (fire) and 蜥蜴 tokage (lizard).
