Chimler: Difference between revisions

==History==

==={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}===

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 {{i|Poké Ball}} alongside [[Tru|Turtwig]] 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, Chimchar chooses {{adv|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.

In ''[[PS359|Stunning Staravia & Stinky Skuntank II]]'', Chimler fought against some {{tc|Team 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 uses a spinning Ember, defeating the group of {{p|Staravia}}. The two then evolve into {{p|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 {{m|Fury Swipes}} and {{m|Wood Hammer}}, knocking out both Pokémon.

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.

==Personality and characteristics==

Chimler, as a {{p|Chimchar}}, appeared to be very lazy. He could usually be seen resting on a chair or bed and dangling off of his {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s arm at times. He is a mischievous Pokémon and loves to play around, though he always listens to {{adv|Pearl}}. 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, he is a very strong Pokémon and is the powerhouse of Pearl's team.
