Charmeleon

Charmeleon is the Fire-type middle stage of the Charmander line, evolving at level 16 and advancing to Charizard at level 36. It is notably more aggressive in temperament than the mild Charmander, and its stats reflect a shift toward offense: base Attack rises to 64 and Speed to 80.

In the original Pokemon anime, Ash's Charmander evolved into a defiant Charmeleon that frequently ignored commands, a plotline that played out over several episodes before it evolved again into Charizard. Charmeleon appears across TCG sets at uncommon and rare rarity, most memorably in the Base Set. It features in standard figure and plush product lines, usually sold as part of the Charmander evolution trio. Its hidden ability, Solar Power, carries over from Charmander and remains useful in sun team setups once it reaches its final evolution.
