Charmeleon (Japanese: リザード Lizardo) is a Fire-type Pokémon.
Charmeleon comes with the ability Blaze, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.
Charmeleon evolves from Charmander starting at Level 16, and evolves into Charizard starting at Level 36.
Biology
Physiology
Charmeleon is a bipedal, reptilian creature similar to Charmander. It has crimson scales that are much darker than that of the bright red Charmander. Once again it has a tail with the tip burning with fire, a trait seen in many Template:Type2 Pokémon, especially the Charmander evolutionary line. At this point in time its skull has developed a horn-like protrusion to the rear. Its front and back claws are far sharper and longer than Charmander.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Charmeleon can of course breathe fire. This fire is much hotter than Charmander's. This is a result of a larger flame burning at the tip of its tail than that of Charmander's.
It possesses incredibly large claws which it famously utilizes in its powerful Slash attack.
Behavior
Charmeleon tend to be stubborn, tempered and simply hot-headed. Due to their incredible power at such low level they can easily feel they are better than their trainers and will even disregard attack commands, although when tame they are a formidable opponent and a loyal partner. Also when wild Charmeleon are ready to evolve common signs are they began to travel in different areas battling random opponents, also the flame on their tails begin to flash larger occasionally.
Habitat
Charmeleon are rare in the wild, but thrive in harsh environments such as craggy mountains and active volcanoes, other environments where Charmeleon dwell is commonly abandoned mines and heated valleys in large numbers.
