Chimchar (Pokémon)

Chimchar is a species of Pokémon.

Creature description

Chimchar is one of the three starter Pokemon available to new trainers in the 4th generation of Pokémon games. It is the fire-type starter, and can be chosen over Turtwig or Piplup. It evolves into Monferno (the Fire fighting type Pokémon) starting at level 14.

Chimchar are based on and have the characteristics of chimpanzees. Being very quick, Chimchar are able to climb the rocky ledges of tall mountains, where they live.

Their rear flame is fueled by gas made in their bellies. While one is awake, even rain can't extinguish the fire, but when it goes to sleep it extinguishes its tail flame so as to prevent fires (something the similar Pokémon Charmander cannot do).

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Chimchar appears as a collectible Trophy.

As a trophy

Chimchar:

A Chimp Pokemon. With a flaming tail, Chimchar is skilled in Fire-type moves. Its light body affords it the ability to scale steep cliffs and live atop rocky mountains. Some say that the fiery tail is fueled by gas made in its stomach. Not even rain can put out the flames, but Chimchar always puts out the fire when asleep. Chimchar evolves into Monferno.
