==Character==
Chimler, as a Chimchar, seemed to be very lazy; he could usually be seen resting on a chair or bed and dangling off of his Trainer's arm at times. When not used in battle, Chimler would make great use of his {{m|Ember}} technique which could be used to melt glass or metal so they can get into various places. Chimler also seems to be very ticklish, especially when he comes in contact with grass.
In battle, Chimler proved to be a powerful Pokémon, strong enough to defeat many opponents such as Maylene's {{p|Riolu}}.

[[File:Chimler Chimchar.png|thumb|left|150px|As a Chimchar]]
Chimler is first seen when {{adv|Platinum}} sends him and [[Tru]] out of their Poké Balls and instructs them to give a Pokédex to the two men in scarves that would be arriving soon. Seeing two young boys that matched the description, Chimler picks {{adv|Pearl}} as his Trainer while Tru picks {{adv|Diamond}} as his. After this, they are attacked by a flock of wild {{p|Starly}} and are forced to fight them off, taking them over thirty minutes to do so.
Chimler first appeared in ''[[PS338|Stagestruck Starly]]'', as one of the three Pokémon given to {{adv|Platinum}} from [[Professor Rowan]]. Platinum sends him out of his [[Poké Ball]] alongside [[Tru]] and gives him a [[Pokédex]] for her bodyguards (who will arrive wearing red and green mufflers), and instructs him to give it to whichever one he likes. Matching the description, Chimler chooses Pearl as his {{pkmn|Trainer}} and gives him the Pokédex. Right after that, a flock of {{p|Starly}} appear and begin attacking the group, which results in the three starters fighting and defeating them.
 
Later, whilst resting in a hotel, Pearl decides to name the Chimp Pokémon "Chimler" and uses him to battle a crowd of rampaging {{p|Bidoof}}.
 
While Platinum trains for her upcoming [[Oreburgh Gym]] battle, Chimler, along with the rest of Pearl and Diamond's Pokémon, are used to help her hone her skills. Suddenly, during a training session, Chimler, Tru, and {{TP|Platinum|Piplup}} evolve into a {{p|Monferno}}, {{p|Grotle}}, and {{p|Prinplup}}, respectively.  


In ''[[PS346|Ring Around the Roserade I]]'', after leaving the [[Old Chateau]] the group meets [[Gardenia]], who somewhat nudges them into challenging her the next day. The three soon begin training with the starter Pokémon when [[Cynthia]] walks by and notices that the three are going to evolve. Quickly after saying this the three evolve, with Chimler evolving into a Monferno.

[[File:Chimler Monferno.png|thumb|150px|left|As a Monferno]]
In ''[[PS356|Magnificent Meditite & Really Riolu I]]'', Platinum buys a [[Zoom Lens]] and Pearl suggests that Chimler test the item since he has such bad aim. Aiming at a tree he fires Ember and nearly hits the Gym Leader, [[Maylene]]. After a misunderstanding, Maylene assumes Chimler belongs to Platinum and wants to see him in their upcoming Gym battle. The next day Chimler is used in the battle and fights against Maylene's {{p|Riolu}}. The two exchange a few attacks and Riolu gets the upper hand with its speed and lands a {{m|Force Palm}}. Riolu follows up by jumping onto Chimler, who blocks it. Although blocked, Riolu begins to use {{m|Drain Punch}} to steal his energy, forcing Platinum to switch him in. He is later sent back out to fight Riolu and it uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to scatter the field with rocks in order to hide Riolu. However Platimun and Chimler manage to hit and knock out Riolu thanks to the Zoom Lens and Platinum's training at the [[Game Corner]].


In [[Veilstone City]], Chimler, when using a newly-bought Zoom Lens to improve his accuracy, accidentally throws a {{m|Ember}} in the wrong direction and nearly hits the Gym Leader, [[Maylene]]. After a misunderstanding, Maylene assumes Chimler belongs to Platinum and wants to see him in their upcoming Gym battle. Later, at the Veilstone Gym, Chimler is used to battle Maylene's Riolu and, after tough battle, manages to defeat it using the skills Platinum gained by playing in the slots.
In ''[[PS359|Stunning Staravia & Stinky Skuntank II]]'', Chimler is used in the fight against the [[Galactic Grunt]]s in order to stop them from capturing Platinum. He starts by using Ember to attack a {{p|Skuntank}}, impressing [[Paka and Uji]]. With their advice Tru uses {{m|Stealth Rock}} to assist Chimler by making a platform for him to reach the middle of the battle. Chimler then uses a spinning Ember, defeating the group of {{p|Staravia}}. The two then evolve into Infernape and {{p|Torterra}} and the group flees to the top of a building with a satellite dish on top of it. With Paka and Uji's guidance Chimler attacks wildly with Ember and Tru attacks with {{m|Earthquake}}, causing the satellite dish to fall on top of the Grunts. Pearl then realizes that Chimler's random attacks forced the Grunts into the spot behind the satellite and weakened it at the same time. With Tru's Earthquake knocking it down the Grunts had nowhere to run, trapping them.

In ''[[PS361|Bombastic Bibarel & Heroic Hippopotas]]'', Chimler is used in a double battle alongside Tru at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]], fighting against a Trainer's {{p|Bibarel}} and {{p|Hippopotas}}. Bibarel attacks Chimler with {{m|Water Gun}} and Hippopotas attacks Tru with {{m|Sand Tomb}}. The two counter with Fury Swipes and {{m|Wood Hammer}}, knocking out both Pokémon.


Later, when going to receive Platinum's missing Pokédex, Pearl is separated from Platinum and meets up with Diamond who was running away from [[Team Galactic]]. Chimler, Chatler, Tru, and Lax are all used along with [[Paka and Uji]]'s {{p|Burmy}} and {{p|Buizel}} to battle Team Galactic. As they battle through the hoards of {{p|Staravia}} and {{p|Skuntank}}, Chimler and Tru suddenly evolve into their final stages, {{p|Infernape}} and {{p|Torterra}}, respectively.
In ''[[PS416|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia VI]]'', Chimler was used alongside the other Pokémon to battle against the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. With the help of Diamond and Pearl's Pokémon and with a combined technique, they were all able to destroy the [[Red Chain]]s controlling them.


When Pearl traveled to [[Lake Valor]] to protect {{p|Azelf}} from Team Galactic, he ended up in the Fuego Ironworks. When Pearl found himself attacked by some of Team Galactic's {{p|Magby}}, he used Chimler and Chatler to fend them off. After [[Rayhiko]] joins their group, Chimler and Chatler welcome their new teammate.
==={{chap|Platinum}}===
In ''[[PS434|The Final Dimensional Duel IV]]'', Pearl intended to use Chimler alongside the rest of his team to fight [[Charon]] and his {{p|Heatran}} but [[Reg]] showed up with {{TP|Diamond|Rotom}}'s appliances, allowing it to defeat him.


After arriving in Lake Valor, Chimler used his flames to propel Pearl to the Lake before they were attacked by [[Saturn]] of Team Galactic. After failing to protect the Lake from being blown up, Chimler attempted to protect Azelf by fighting off Saturn's forces but was defeated.
==Personality and Characteristics==
Chimler, as a Chimchar, appeared to be very lazy. He could usually be seen resting on a chair or bed and dangling off of his Trainer's arm at times. He is a mischievous Pokémon and loves to play around, though he always listens to Pearl. When not used in battle, Chimler would make great use of his Ember technique which could be used to melt glass or metal so they can get into various places. Chimler also seems to be very ticklish, especially when he comes in contact with grass. In battle, he is a very strong Pokémon and is the powerhouse of Pearl's team.


Chimler was used during the final battle against [[Cyrus]] and his controlled {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} on Spear Pillar. Along with all of and Pearl and Diamond's Pokémon, Chimler fired an attacked that when combined, freed Dialga and Palkia from Cyrus's control, allowing them to defeat him once and for all.

History

Diamond & Pearl arc

As a Chimchar

Chimler first appeared in Stagestruck Starly, as one of the three Pokémon given to Platinum from Professor Rowan. Platinum sends him out of his Poké Ball alongside Tru and gives him a Pokédex for her bodyguards (who will arrive wearing red and green mufflers), and instructs him to give it to whichever one he likes. Matching the description, Chimler chooses Pearl as his Trainer and gives him the Pokédex. Right after that, a flock of Starly appear and begin attacking the group, which results in the three starters fighting and defeating them.

In Ring Around the Roserade I, after leaving the Old Chateau the group meets Gardenia, who somewhat nudges them into challenging her the next day. The three soon begin training with the starter Pokémon when Cynthia walks by and notices that the three are going to evolve. Quickly after saying this the three evolve, with Chimler evolving into a Monferno.

As a Monferno

In Magnificent Meditite & Really Riolu I, Platinum buys a Zoom Lens and Pearl suggests that Chimler test the item since he has such bad aim. Aiming at a tree he fires Ember and nearly hits the Gym Leader, Maylene. After a misunderstanding, Maylene assumes Chimler belongs to Platinum and wants to see him in their upcoming Gym battle. The next day Chimler is used in the battle and fights against Maylene's Riolu. The two exchange a few attacks and Riolu gets the upper hand with its speed and lands a Force Palm. Riolu follows up by jumping onto Chimler, who blocks it. Although blocked, Riolu begins to use Drain Punch to steal his energy, forcing Platinum to switch him in. He is later sent back out to fight Riolu and it uses Rock Smash to scatter the field with rocks in order to hide Riolu. However Platimun and Chimler manage to hit and knock out Riolu thanks to the Zoom Lens and Platinum's training at the Game Corner.

In Stunning Staravia & Stinky Skuntank II, Chimler is used in the fight against the Galactic Grunts in order to stop them from capturing Platinum. He starts by using Ember to attack a Skuntank, impressing Paka and Uji. With their advice Tru uses Stealth Rock to assist Chimler by making a platform for him to reach the middle of the battle. Chimler then uses a spinning Ember, defeating the group of Staravia. The two then evolve into Infernape and Torterra and the group flees to the top of a building with a satellite dish on top of it. With Paka and Uji's guidance Chimler attacks wildly with Ember and Tru attacks with Earthquake, causing the satellite dish to fall on top of the Grunts. Pearl then realizes that Chimler's random attacks forced the Grunts into the spot behind the satellite and weakened it at the same time. With Tru's Earthquake knocking it down the Grunts had nowhere to run, trapping them.

Pearl and Chimler

In Bombastic Bibarel & Heroic Hippopotas, Chimler is used in a double battle alongside Tru at the Seven Stars Restaurant, fighting against a Trainer's Bibarel and Hippopotas. Bibarel attacks Chimler with Water Gun and Hippopotas attacks Tru with Sand Tomb. The two counter with Fury Swipes and Wood Hammer, knocking out both Pokémon.

In Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia VI, Chimler was used alongside the other Pokémon to battle against the Legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia. With the help of Diamond and Pearl's Pokémon and with a combined technique, they were all able to destroy the Red Chains controlling them.

Platinum arc

In The Final Dimensional Duel IV, Pearl intended to use Chimler alongside the rest of his team to fight Charon and his Heatran but Reg showed up with Rotom's appliances, allowing it to defeat him.

Personality and Characteristics

Chimler, as a Chimchar, appeared to be very lazy. He could usually be seen resting on a chair or bed and dangling off of his Trainer's arm at times. He is a mischievous Pokémon and loves to play around, though he always listens to Pearl. When not used in battle, Chimler would make great use of his Ember technique which could be used to melt glass or metal so they can get into various places. Chimler also seems to be very ticklish, especially when he comes in contact with grass. In battle, he is a very strong Pokémon and is the powerhouse of Pearl's team.
