Charmander (Pokémon): Difference between revisions
This is very misleading and inaccurate. The salamander specified does not perform photosynthesis, instead forming a symbiotic relationship with algae before hatching. The relationship provides oxygen (and not energy/food) to the larva.

Physically, Charmander has a slender body, a short nose, and a long tail, as well as other lizard-like characteristics. The fact that it does not undergo a metamorphosis stage (beyond its own evolutionary pattern) but instead grows into a larger version of itself as it matures, among other things, indicate that Charmander has more in common with reptiles (such as lizards) than with amphibians (such as real-world salamanders). | Physically, Charmander has a slender body, a short nose, and a long tail, as well as other lizard-like characteristics.
