POKÉMON - Plush - Charmander (Jazwares)

Charmander is definitely the calmest of its evolutionary line. Its health and emotions can easily be understood by paying attention to the flame at the tip of its tail. For example, if the flame suddenly grows, Charmander is probably angry and may be using the Rage attack. It is a very rare Pokémon to find in the wild; many are domestic, raised to be given as starter Pokémon by Professor Oak. It is often considered the most difficult starter Pokémon to train due to its disadvantage against the first two Gym Leaders of Kanto, (Brock and Misty).

Some people choose Charmander believing it is stronger than Bulbasaur and Squirtle. In any case, while Charmander will grow into a very powerful Pokémon, its battle strength is closely tied to its health conditions, so care must also be taken of the flame at the tip of its tail. Many Trainers have no trouble doing this, but the most impatient ones who expect a very strong Pokémon from the start will have many difficulties in this regard. In A New Pokémon, Trainer Damian abandons his Charmander for this very reason. Charmanders are very loyal Pokémon: in the aforementioned episode, for example, the Pokémon refused to move from the rock because Damian told it to wait for him. Ash had to carry it to the nearest Pokémon Center because the Pokémon refused to move despite the heavy rain threatening to extinguish the flame on its tail.
