Chimchar (Japanese: ヒコザル Hikozaru) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Monferno starting at level 14, which evolves into Infernape starting at level 36.

Along with Turtwig and Piplup, Chimchar is one of the three first partner Pokémon of Sinnoh available at the beginning of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl.

Biology

A sleeping Chimchar — note the lack of a flame

Chimchar is a bipedal Pokémon resembling a chimpanzee. Its fur is primarily a shade of orange, although its face, outer ears, underbelly, hands, and feet are light yellow. Its ears are large in comparison to its head, and has red insides. It also has red markings around its eyes, as well as two pointed teeth in its upper jaw, a swirl-like symbol on its chest, and five fingers on its hands with three toes on its feet. It has a swirly crest of hair on its head. Its rear has a small, round, red patch that is usually obscured by flames produced by burning gas in its stomach. These flames cannot be put out by rain, although they go out when Chimchar goes to sleep, and burn weakly when it feels ill. In the past, this flame on its rear has caused people to mistake it for an apparition, dubbed the "Lantern-Tail". Chimchar is very agile, being able to climb the rocky ledges of tall mountains where it lives. It has been recently seen living in the Terarium of Blueberry Academy.

Trivia

Chimchar shares its category with Grookey. They are both known as the Chimp Pokémon.
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, if the player chooses Chimchar, the wild Starly can defeat it when Chimchar is at 4 HP, bypassing the red HP bar state (which would otherwise cause the Starly to flee). This causes the game to freeze. This has a combined 1.56% probability.
- This cannot happen with Turtwig or Piplup, as Chimchar's base HP is the lowest of the three.
Chimchar and its evolutions were designed by Takao Unno.^[1]

Origin

Chimchar appears to be based on a young chimpanzee. However, the markings on its rear without the flame seem to indicate that it is more a cross between a chimpanzee and a young baboon.

Name origin

Chimchar may be a combination of chimp and char (to burn).

Hikozaru may be a combination of 火 hi (fire), 小 ko (small), 子 ko (child), and 猿 saru (monkey, ape).

+[[File:Chimchar flameless.png|thumb|220px|left|A sleeping Chimchar — note the lack of a flame]]
-===Physiology===
+Chimchar is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a chimpanzee. Its fur is primarily a shade of orange, although its face, outer ears, underbelly, hands, and feet are light yellow. Its ears are large in comparison to its head, and has red insides. It also has red markings around its eyes, as well as two pointed teeth in its upper jaw, a swirl-like symbol on its chest, and five fingers on its hands with three toes on its feet. It has a swirly crest of hair on its head. Its rear has a small, round, red patch that is usually obscured by flames produced by burning gas in its stomach. These flames cannot be put out by rain, although they go out when Chimchar goes to sleep, and burn weakly when it feels ill. In the past, this flame on its rear has caused people to mistake it for an apparition, dubbed the "Lantern-Tail". Chimchar is very agile, being able to climb the rocky ledges of tall mountains where it lives.  It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].
-Chimchar are chimpanzee-like Pokémon, primarily a shade of orange, but with light yellow on its face, outer ears, underbelly, hands and feet. The flames on their rears are produced by burning gas in their stomachs. The flames do not go out in the rain, and, unlike the tail flames of Charmander, those of Chimchar go out when they go to sleep. Although difficult to spot (due to Chimchar’s tail flame usually obscuring it), Chimchar has a small, rounded patch of red coloration on its rear.  Chimchar’s ears are large in comparison to its head size, and have red ear insides. Chimchar have red markings above and to the sides of their eyes, a swirl-like symbol on its chest and five fingers on its hands with three toes on its feet.
-====Gender differences====
-None.
-===Special abilities===
+===Evolution===
-Chimchar is capable of several Fire-type moves such as {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Flame Wheel}}. It also knows a few {{t|Fighting}} and {{type|Dark}} moves such as {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, {{m|Nasty Plot}}, and {{m|Taunt}}. Unlike its fellow Fire-types, Chimchar can learn {{m|Grass Knot}}.
+Chimchar evolves into {{p|Monferno}}, which evolves into {{p|Infernape}}.
-===Behavior===
+(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
-Much like their real world counterpart, Chimchar are very inquisitive and are prone to mischief, but can show bravery when push comes to shove. Being very agile, Chimchar are able to climb the rocky ledges of tall mountains, where they live. Despite being based on chimpanzees, Chimchar's [[cry]] is actually much more similar to that of a spider monkey. When it is feeling sick, the flame on a Chimchar's rear burns weakly.

+Chimchar debuted in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', where it was teasing a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} after stealing {{pkmn|food}} from it. Piplup then started firing a {{m|Bubble Beam}} attack, but Chimchar kept jumping out of the way. {{p|Staraptor}} was hit in Piplup's line of fire and created a {{m|Whirlwind}} that wrecked everything in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. Chimchar jumped out of a broken window, with Piplup chasing after it.

+==Other appearances==
+===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
+Chimchar is a trophy in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
+====Trophy information====
+''"A Chimp Pokémon. With a flaming tail, Chimchar is skilled in {{type|Fire}} moves. Its light body affords it the ability to scale steep cliffs and live atop rocky mountains. Some say that the fiery tail is fueled by gas made in its stomach. Not even rain can put out the flames, but Chimchar always puts out the fire when asleep. Chimchar evolves into {{p|Monferno}}."''
 ==Trivia==
-* Chimchar is the only [[starter Pokémon]] in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.
+* Chimchar shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Grookey}}. They are both known as the Chimp Pokémon.
-* Chimchar, along with {{p|Cyndaquil}}, are the only two starter Pokémon that evolve at level 14. It is the lowest level starters evolve at. Coincidentally, both are the Fire-type choice in the regions introduced in an even-numbered generation.
+* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, if the {{player}} chooses Chimchar, the wild {{p|Starly}} can defeat it when Chimchar is at 4 HP, bypassing the red HP bar state (which would otherwise cause the Starly to flee). [[List of glitches (Generation IV)#Starly defeating first partner Pokémon oversight|This causes the game to freeze]]. This has a combined 1.56% probability.
-* Chimchar's color palette was changed slightly in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, despite it being a non-Johto Pokémon. This also happened to {{p|Torterra}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Stunky}}, {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Glameow}}, {{p|Purugly}}, and {{p|Chatot}}.
+** This cannot happen with Turtwig or Piplup, as Chimchar's base HP is the lowest of the three.
-* Chimchar is the only unevolved non-legendary {{type|Fire}} Pokémon to be introduced in Generation IV.
+* Chimchar and its evolutions were designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/TakaoUnno/status/386157379563188224 Tweet by @TakaoUnno.] Posted on Oct 4, 2013.</ref>
-* Chimchar is the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Quick Guard}} through breeding.
-* Chimchar is the only non-Generation V Pokémon to learn {{m|Facade}} through level-up.
-* Chimchar's Japanese name, Hikozaru, is an anagram of the first name of [[Hirokazu Tanaka]], the composer of many opening and ending themes in anime.
-* Without counting {{p|Eevee}}, Chimchar and its evolutionary line are the only starter line in the Brown color group. As well, the Chimchar line is only one of two {{type|Fire}} starter lines not to be in the Red color group (the other being the {{p|Cyndaquil}} line in the Yellow color group).
 ===Origin===
-Chimchar appears to be based on a young {{wp|chimpanzee}}. However, the markings on its rear without the flame, (plus facial markings on its evolutions) seem to indicate that it is more a cross between a chimpanzee and a young {{wp|baboon}}.
