'''Charmeleon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザード''' ''Lizardo'') is a {{t|Fire}}-type Pokémon.
}}
'''Charmeleon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザード''' ''Lizardo'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


Charmeleon comes with the [[Ability]] {{A|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.  
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmander}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Charizard}} starting at level 36.


Charmeleon evolves from {{p|Charmander}} starting at Level 16, and evolves into {{p|Charizard}} starting at Level 36.  
==Biology==
Charmeleon is a bipedal, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has dark red scales and a cream underside from the chest down. It has blue eyes and a long snout with a slightly hooked tip. On the back of its head is a single horn-like protrusion. It has relatively long arms with three sharp claws. Its short legs have {{wp|plantigrade}} feet with three claws and cream-colored soles. The tip of its long, powerful tail has a flame burning on it. The temperature rises to unbearable levels if Charmeleon swings its tail.


=Biology=
Charmeleon has a vicious, hotheaded nature, and will constantly seek out opponents. Strong opponents excite this Pokémon, causing it to spout bluish-white flames that torch its surroundings. Charmeleon enjoys tormenting the opponents it fights. However, it will relax once it has won a {{pkmn|battle}}. It is rare in the wild, but it can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Charmleon is known to sleep with a laid-back posture , using its hands as a pillow.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref> Its fierce fervor disappears when it sleeps.
==Physiology==
Charmeleon is a bipedal, reptilian creature similar to Charmander. It has crimson scales that are much darker than that of the bright red Charmander. Once again it has a tail with the tip burning with fire, a trait seen in many {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, especially the Charmander evolutionary line. At this point in time its skull has developed a horn-like protrusion to the rear. Its front and back claws are far sharper and longer than Charmander.


===Gender differences===
===Evolution===
None.
Charmeleon evolves from {{p|Charmander}} and evolves into {{p|Charizard}}.
===Special abilities===
Charmeleon can of course breathe fire. This fire is much hotter than Charmander's. This is a result of a larger flame burning at the tip of its tail than that of Charmander's.


One special trait of Charmeleon are it incredibly large claws compared to its body which it famously utilizes in the powerful {{m|Slash}} attack.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

==Behavior==
==Game data==
Charmeleon tend to be stubborn, tempered and simply hot-headed. Due to their incredible power at such low level they can easily feel they are better then their trainers and will even disregard attack commands. Although when tame they are a formidable opponent and a loyal partner.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Trevor Charmeleon.png|thumb|250px|Charmeleon in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Charmeleon]]=====
{{Ash}}'s Charmander evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', which also marked the species' debut. Unfortunately, he quickly grew unruly and [[Obedience|disobedient]]. He evolved into Charizard soon after in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''.
 
Charmeleon also appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. In this continuity, it previously belonged to [[Cross]] and evolved from Charmander after defeating a {{p|Jigglypuff}} in {{pkmn|battle}}. It later evolved into Charizard after battling Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}. Unlike its main series counterpart, this Charmeleon never had obedience issues.
 
=====[[Zippo]]=====
[[Ritchie]]'s Charmander, [[nickname]]d [[Zippo]], evolved into a Charmeleon sometime prior to the events of ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]''.
 
=====[[Alain's Charmeleon]]=====
A Charmeleon appeared in a flashback in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'' as the pre-evolved form of [[Alain]]'s Charizard.
 
=====[[Trevor's Charmeleon]]=====
{{an|Trevor}}'s Charmeleon appeared in ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', having evolved from a Charmander. It would evolve into Charizard by ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]''.
 
=====[[Leon's Charmeleon]]=====
In ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]'', {{an|Leon}}'s Charizard was revealed to have been a Charmeleon in a flashback.
 
=====Other=====
A Charmeleon appeared in ''[[EP087|The Crystal Onix]]'', under the ownership of {{OBP|Mateo|EP087}}, who would commonly use it to make glass. It was also used to battle the titular [[Crystal Onix]], during which it set it alight and defeated it.
 
A Charmeleon appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', under the ownership of [[Sam]]. It was used to battle the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]'s {{p|Sneasel}} and won.
 
In ''[[AG092|Judgment Day]]'', {{OBP|Jimmy|AG092}}'s Charmeleon helped its {{pkmn|Trainer}} with a variety of odd jobs on [[Bomba Island]]. Charmeleon was later targeted by {{TRT}} in one of their schemes, but it was rescued by Jimmy's newly-evolved {{p|Blastoise}}.
 
====Minor appearances====
In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', a Charmeleon was part of a TV advertisement for [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]]'s breeding center, in which it evolved from a Charmander and then into Charizard.
 
In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', a Charmeleon seen at the [[Pokémon Theme Park]].
 
In ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling!]]'', a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Charmeleon participated in the {{to|Terracotta}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.
 
A Charmeleon appeared in ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]''.

{{OBP|Red|Origins}}'s Charmander evolved into a Charmeleon some time after Red beat [[Misty]] but before he faced [[Lt. Surge]] between ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'' and ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]''. It later evolved into a Charizard after Red defeated [[Koga]] between ''File 2: Cubone'' and ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''.

Charmeleon debuted in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'', where it was seen battling in the [[Pewter Gym]] as one of {{adv|Blue}}'s Pokémon. He evolved from Charmander sometime between ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and this chapter. When {{adv|Red}} and Blue collided in Celadon City, Red mistakenly picked up the Poké Ball of Blue's Charmeleon, but he managed to give it back to Blue later. He has since evolved into {{p|Charizard}} with Blue's intense training and became even more powerful, assisting in the defeat of both the [[Team Rocket]] triads [[Koga]] and [[Sabrina]].

Lizardo may be derived from the transcription of the English word ''lizard''.
Charmeleon resembles a small dinosaur with some remnants of {{p|Charmander}}'s [[wp:Salamander|salamander]]-like appearance.
