Charmeleon is a bipedal, reptilian | Charmeleon is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon. It has dark red scales and a cream underside from the chest down. It has narrow, 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. | ||
Charmeleon has a vicious nature and will constantly seek out opponents. Strong opponents excite this Pokémon, causing it to spout bluish-white flames that torch its surroundings. However, it will relax once it has won. It is rare in the wild, but it can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}}. | Charmeleon has a vicious nature and will constantly seek out opponents.

Charmeleon debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'', where it is 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 round. 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]], and continued to act as the powerhouse for both Blue and Red, in the two times it was (temporarily) traded to him since then. | Charmeleon debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'', where it is seen battling in the [[Pewter Gym]] as one of {{adv|Blue}}'s Pokémon.

Charmeleon resembles a small dinosaur with remnants of {{p|Charmander}}'s {{wp|salamander}}-like appearance, with the body plan of a {{wp|therapod}} and the head crest of a ''{{wp|Parasaurolophus}}''. Although its nomenclature suggests commonality with the {{wp|chameleon}}, Charmeleon exhibits very few of the major physiologically distinguishing traits of the chameleon. Charmeleon does not have the specialized {{wp|Dactyly#Zygodactyly|zygodactylic}} feet, separately mobile eyes, extrudable tongue, or the ability to {{wp|Chameleon#Change of color|change color}} like some members of the chameleon species. The few characteristics it does share are the snout, a prominent head crest (which resembles a small horn in its Generation I back sprite), and extensive use of its tail. Chameleons have {{wp|prehensile}} tails used for climbing and grasping, while Charmeleon utilizes its tail as a weapon. | Charmeleon resembles a small dinosaur with remnants of {{p|Charmander}}'s {{wp|salamander}}-like appearance, with the body plan of a {{wp|therapod}} and the head crest of a ''{{wp|Parasaurolophus}}''. | ||
