Natural Abilities
As a natural ability, Charmander can produce flames inside of itself and project them from its mouth, meaning that it can breathe fire. The power of its flame attacks can be gauged by the size of the flame on its tail.

Behavior
Charmander is easily the most mild-mannered and well- behaved of it's evolution line. It's feelings and emotions can be read by the flame on the tip of it's tail. If it grows that means it's angry or is about to attack.

Charmander is rarely found in the wild since it's a starter Pokemon. Sometimes they gather in extremely hot areas such as active volcanoes or in craggy mountains and in caves along the coast of the Sevii Islands.

Evolution
Charmander evolves into Charmeleon starting at level 16, and from Charmeleon, evolves into Charizard starting at level 36.

Anime


Ash Ketchum obtained a Charmander in the episode Charmander - The Stray Pokémon. This Charmander was first seen waiting on a rock when it was abandoned by its original trainer, Damian. Ash became angry for seeing this Pokémon so neglected. Even with the risk of dying, this Charmander waited in harsh weather conditions for its trainer, though the trainer never came. Ash helped in its recovery by taking it to a Pokémon Center, where it would later leave, only to find Ash and become his Pokémon. Ash had Charmander for thirty-two episodes. After beating a herd of Exeggutor in The March of the Exeggutor Squad, it evolved into Charmeleon.
