Charmander, known as ヒトカゲ in Japanese, is a Fire-type Pokémon and one of the original starter Pokémon from the Pocket Monsters series, better known as Pokémon. It evolves from Charmeleon into the powerful Charizard. Charmander is characterized by the flame on its tail, which reflects its mood and health; a strong flame means it is healthy. This character is beloved for its fiery spirit and loyal nature, often serving as a companion to trainers who choose the Fire-type path. Charmander is an iconic symbol of the Pokémon franchise.
