Charmander is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with a primarily orange body. Its underside from the chest down and soles are cream-colored. It has two small fangs visible in its upper jaw and two smaller fangs in its lower jaw. Charmander has blue eyes. Its arms and legs are short with four fingers and three clawed toes. 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 if gets a bit wet and is said to steam in the rain.

Charmander can be found in hot, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}}. However, it is found far more often in the ownership of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. As shown in [[Pokémon Snap]], Charmander exhibits pack behavior, calling others of its species if it finds food.
The flame can indicate 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 would die if its flame were to go 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. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Charmander is known to sleep while curled up.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Supposedly, Charmander is drawing warmth from the flame on its tail. During quiet nights, one can hear the sound of a flame burning if you listen hard enough while Charmander sleeps.


==In the anime==
Charmander can be found in hot, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. However, it is found far more often in {{pkmn|Trainer}}s ownership. As shown in [[Pokémon Snap]] and [[New Pokémon Snap]], Charmander exhibits pack behavior, calling others of its species if it finds food and watching the flames on each other's tails to ensure they don't go out.

==In the manga==
[[File:X Salamè Charmander.png|thumb|220px|right|Charmander in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga===
{{main|Ash's Charmander}}
{{Ash}}'s Charmander makes a few appearances in the manga [[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 ''[[ET07|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 ''[[ET08|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 {{p|Charizard}} in the chapter ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'' at the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In this chapter, Charizard battles [[Zippo|Charley]], [[Ritchie]]'s own Charizard.
 
===In the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga===
{{main|Peanut's Charmander}}
{{main|Mandy (MPJ)}}
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the sickly Trainer [[Peanut]] owns an aggressive Charmander. Peanut's Charmander first appears in the chapter ''[[PPP11|Charmander's Peanut]]''.
 
Mandy is a female Charmander from the Magical Pokémon Journey manga.
 
===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
{{main|Blue's Charmander}}
{{main|Salamè}}
Charmander debuted in the first round of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', where one appeared in a fantasy explanation of Red and as one of {{adv|Blue}}'s first Pokémon, received from his grandfather {{adv|Professor Oak}}. He has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} before facing [[Brock]] of [[Pewter City]], and then to {{p|Charizard}} before the [[Silph Co.]] battles against [[Team Rocket]]. The major powerhouse of his team with his newly learned {{m|Blast Burn}} attack, his battle skills (able to defeat {{adv|Red}}'s [[Poli]]whirl easily even before evolving) are complimented by his fast flight, for which he was traded to Red twice, during both the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} and the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. It is worth noting that, as Charmeleon, he was accidentally traded to Red many years earlier.
 
Another Charmander appeared as a silhouette when {{adv|Green}} explains about {{p|Mew}} in ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]''.
 
After X's Marisso lost to him in a battle X decided to take him and named him Salamè in ''[[PAXY09|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]''. He later evolved into a Charmeleon alongside Marisso who evolved into a {{p|Quilladin}} in ''[[PAXY22|Quilladin Stands]]''.
 
===In the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga===
{{main|Green's Charmander}}
In the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga series, {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}'s rival, {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}}, chose Charmander as his [[starter Pokémon]]. Green's Charmander is mischievous and has a rivalry with [[Red's Clefairy]].
 
Green's Charmander has evolved into {{p|Charizard}}. It seems to be able to skip the {{p|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.
 
===In the [[Pokémon Zensho]] manga===
{{main|Satoshi's Charmander (Zensho)}}
In [[Pokémon Zensho]], {{Zensho|Satoshi}} chooses Charmander as his starter Pokémon, while {{Zensho|Shigeru}} chooses a {{p|Squirtle}}.
 
==In the TCG==
{{main|Charmander (TCG)}}
 
==Other appearances==
Charmander appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] as a trophy.
 
===Trophy information===
''"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."''

* 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, {{p|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 {{p|Piplup}} mend the balloon, and makes fireworks. He later accompanies Pikachu to the [[Sky Pavilion]] along with {{p|Piplup}} and {{p|Chikorita}} where he meets {{p|Mew}}. Once the [[Sky Prism]] has been restored, Charmander celebrates by firing off the fireworks he made.

===Pokémon Adventures===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Blue's Charmander]]=====
Charmander debuted in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. It first appeared in {{adv|Red}}'s fantasy, then as one of {{adv|Blue}}'s first Pokémon, received from his grandfather {{adv|Professor Oak}}.

=====[[Salamè]]=====
After {{adv|X}}'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Marisso]], lost to him in a battle, X decided to take him and named him Salamè in ''[[PS559|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]''. He later evolved into a Charmeleon alongside Marisso, who evolved into a {{p|Quilladin}} in ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]''.

Green's Charmander is mischievous and has a rivalry with [[Red's Clefairy]]. Green's Charmander has evolved into {{p|Charizard}}. It seems to be able to skip the {{p|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.
{{OBP|Blue|Ruby-Sapphire}} also owns a Charmander.
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
{{main|Ash's Charmander}}
{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s Charmander makes a few appearances in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

====Trophy information====
''"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.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* Charmander, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* {{wp|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 the first generation, on its sprite and [[a:File:004Charmander RG.png|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 [[generation]]s. [[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 {{PPM|Green}}'s {{TP|Green|Charmander|Charizard}} from the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.
===Cultural impact===
* Charmander is the tallest Fire-type starter Pokémon.
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* Charmander has the longest name of all unevolved [[starter Pokémon]].
* {{wp|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.
* Charmander is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Field}}.
 
===Design variations===
In its [[Generation I]] [[#Sprites|sprites]] and original key 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 [[generation]]s. [[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 Charizard|Green's Charmander]] from the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.
 
Additionally, Charmander is depicted with an inconsistent number of fingers in its designs. The original sprites designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]] for {{game|Red and Green|s}} featured three fingers, while the artwork [[Ken Sugimori]] drew based on those sprites had four fingers. Currently, the {{Trading Card Game}}, {{pkmn|animated series}}, {{pkmn|movie}}s, and [[List of animated series specials|specials]], as well as artwork unrelated to {{pkmn|games}} and {{pkmn|merchandise}}, use the three-fingered hand design; while the 3D models and the artwork based on those (such as artwork for {{LGPE}}) feature the four-fingered hand design.

===Origin===
===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Charmander}}
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Charmander}}
Charmander appears to be predominantly {{wp|reptilian}} in origin, and may have been partially inspired by the mythical {{wp|Salamanders in folklore and legend|salamander}} (as opposed to the real-world amphibian of the same name which 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.
Charmander's design was based on Charizard in such a way that it was surprising to see it evolving into the latter Pokémon.<ref name=Origin>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref> In particular, Charmander was designed as a {{wp|lizard}}.<ref name=Origin/> Based on its name, Charmander is also based on a {{wp|salamander}}, which are amphibians that physically resemble lizards. {{wp|Cultural depictions of salamanders|In folklore and mythology}}, salamanders are often thought of as fire spirits capable of surviving in extreme heat or flames. As Charizard is based on a {{wp|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 {{wp|theropod}} dinosaur.
 
Physically, Charmander has a slender body, a short nose, and a long tail, as well as other lizard-like characteristics. The fact that it does not undergo a metamorphosis stage (beyond its own evolutionary pattern) but instead grows into a larger version of itself as it matures, among other things, indicate that Charmander has more in common with reptiles (such as lizards) than with amphibians (such as real-world salamanders).
 
Charmander's Hidden Ability, {{a|Solar Power}}, may have drawn inspiration from the {{wp|spotted salamander}}. In July and August 2010, this species was identified as the first known {{wp|Photosynthesis|photosynthetic}} vertebrate animal, capable of converting energy from sunlight.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Charmander is a portmanteau of the words ''char'' (to burn) and ''salamander''.
Charmander is a combination of ''char'' (to burn) and ''salamander'', as stated in the January 1999 "POCKEMON JOURNAL" on the official [[Game Freak]] website.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19990221135156/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/NEWS/NEWS.HTM GAME FREAK | POCKEMON JOURNAL] (archive)</ref> Alternatively, in a 2016 interview with [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] by INSIDE, Charmander is stated to be a combination of ''{{wp|charcoal}}'' (carbon residue produced by strongly heating wood) and ''{{wp|Salamandra}}'' (a genus of salamander including four species of fire salamander).<ref>(February 27, 2016). "[https://web.archive.org/web/20220928180754/https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2016/02/27/96339_2.html ポケモンが現実世界と仮想世界を繋いでいく、20年目の挑戦・・・株式会社ポケモン代表取締役社長・石原恒和氏インタビュー]" ''inside-games.jp''.</ref>


Hitokage comes from 火蜥蜴 (salamander): 火 ''hi'' (fire) and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' (lizard).
Hitokage may be a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire) and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' (lizard), forming together the word 火蜥蜴 ''hitokage'' (mythical salamander).

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 the three first partner Pokémon of Kanto available at the beginning of Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, FireRed, and LeafGreen.

Biology

Charmander protecting the flame on its tail from the rain

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, which has blazed there since Charmander's birth.

The flame can indicate 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 would die if its flame were to go 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. As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Charmander is known to sleep while curled up.[1] Supposedly, Charmander is drawing warmth from the flame on its tail. During quiet nights, one can hear the sound of a flame burning if you listen hard enough while Charmander sleeps.

Charmander can be found in hot, mountainous areas. It has been recently seen living in the Terarium of Blueberry Academy. However, it is found far more often in Trainers ownership. As shown in Pokémon Snap and New Pokémon Snap, Charmander exhibits pack behavior, calling others of its species if it finds food and watching the flames on each other's tails to ensure they don't go out.

Evolution

Charmander evolves into Charmeleon, which evolves into Charizard.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Game data

NPC appearances

  • 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 Lava Zone leader, Blaziken, who takes him in as his pupil and trains 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.

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.

Blue also owns a Charmander.

The Electric Tale of Pikachu

Main article: Ash's Charmander

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

Other appearances

Charmander appears as a trophy.

Trophy information

"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."

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Charmander appears as a Spirit.

POKÉMON Detective Pikachu

Trivia

  • Charmander, Cyndaquil, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.

Cultural impact

$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.

Design variations

In its Generation I sprites and original key 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.

Additionally, Charmander is depicted with 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 TCG, animated series, movies, and specials, as well as artwork unrelated to games and merchandise, use the three-fingered hand design; while the 3D models and the artwork based on those (such as artwork for Pokémon: 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:

Charmander's design was based on Charizard in such a way that it was surprising to see it evolving into the latter Pokémon.[2] In particular, Charmander was designed as a lizard.[2] Based on its name, Charmander is also based on a salamander, which are amphibians that physically resemble lizards. In folklore and mythology, salamanders are often thought of as fire spirits capable of surviving in extreme heat or flames. 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 theropod dinosaur.

Name origin

Charmander is a combination of char (to burn) and salamander, as stated in the January 1999 "POCKEMON JOURNAL" on the official Game Freak website.[3] Alternatively, in a 2016 interview with Tsunekazu Ishihara by INSIDE, Charmander is stated to be a combination of charcoal (carbon residue produced by strongly heating wood) and Salamandra (a genus of salamander including four species of fire salamander).[4]

Hitokage may be a combination of 火 hi (fire) and 蜥蜴 tokage (lizard), forming together the word 火蜥蜴 hitokage (mythical salamander).
