Trivia

The How I Became a Pokémon Card chapter Team Rocket and Dark Charmeleon is a story about the Charmeleon that appears on this card.

Origin

Tail Slap is a move later introduced in the Generation V Pokémon games that Charmeleon cannot learn; however, the Japanese names are not the same, making this attack and the move unrelated.
