Monferno (Japanese: モウカザル Moukazaru) is a Fire/Fighting-type Pokémon.

Monferno evolves from Chimchar at Level 14 and evolves into Infernape at Level 36.

Biology

Physiology

Much of Monferno's hair is a bright orange color. Monferno now has an evident tail, unlike its previous form Chimchar. Its tail is similar to those of Charmander, Charmeleon and Charizard due to the flames at the tips. This flame is often used as a weapon. When threatened, Monferno increases the size of its flame in order to appear larger than it really is, which is useful in scaring off attacking foes. It has white hair around its neck and gold arm bands. Monferno has blue-and-red markings on its face.
