Charmeleon is one of the most well-known fire-type Pok\u00e9mon, and while it\u2019s not quite as popular as either of its evolutions, it certainly knows how to pack a punch!\n
If you wanted to know more about this middle sibling Pok\u00e9mon evolution, you\u2019ve come to the right place \u2013 so read on to learn all there is to know about Charmeleon!\n
Charmeleon\u2019s name is a combination of the words \u201cchar,\u201d meaning to burn or singe, and \u201cchameleon,\u201d a species of lizard.\n
Its name in Japanese is \u201cLizardo,\u201d which is a touch bland, to say the least. Lizardo itself is a bastardization of the English word \u201clizard\u201d if you didn\u2019t figure that one out yourself.\n
Charmeleon\u2019s name doesn\u2019t make much sense in English, as it has almost no shared physical characteristics with a chameleon. Charmeleon uses its tail extensively, but that\u2019s almost exclusively for fighting, while chameleons use them for climbing and holding onto things.\n
It\u2019s a fire-type Pok\u00e9mon, one of the three primary Pok\u00e9mon types available at the beginning of any Pok\u00e9mon game, alongside grass and water types.\n
Not only do Charmeleons have a flame at the end of their tails, but they\u2019re also able to breathe fire. Their fire attacks are significantly more deadly than their previous evolution, Charmander, but nowhere near the level of a Charizard.\n Overall, they\u2019re more aggressive than a Charmander and will actively seek out strong opponents to fight when in the wild.\n When a Charmeleon finds a formidable opponent, it gets excited, and its ordinarily red tail flame will turn a hot bluish-white.\n Charmeleons cannot be caught in the wild in any of the Pok\u00e9mon games. The only way to get one is to either evolve a Charmander or trade it from a different game.\n Speaking of evolving, Charmanders naturally evolve into Charmeleons at level 16, and Charmeleons evolve into Charizards at level 36.\n While you can\u2019t catch them in the games, they\u2019re said to live alongside their evolutions in scorching and rocky mountainous areas.\n They are bipedal Pok\u00e9mon, meaning they only walk on two legs and resemble lizards or even dinosaurs.\n Chronologically, Charmeleon is the first Pok\u00e9mon listed in the Pok\u00e9dex that gets a second type when it evolves \u2013 in Charmeleon\u2019s case, it attains the flying type as its evolution has wings.\n Starting from the second generation of games, Charmeleon learns a dragon-type move called Dragon Rage.\n
