During Red's Gym battle against [[Brock]], Charmander was Red's initial choice, but when learning about the advantage that [[Brock's Geodude]] has on Fire-type Pokémon, it was soon recalled. However, it would still end up as Red's last healthy Pokémon against {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Red and Charmander emerged victorious thanks to Red's strategy. | During Red's Gym battle against [[Brock]], Charmander was Red's initial choice, but when learning about the advantage that [[Brock's Geodude]] has on Fire-type Pokémon, it was soon recalled.
