In Hypno's Naptime, a Charmander was in HopHopHop Town's Pokémon Center. Anne, multiple Charmander were aboard the St. Seeing it inspired Ash to bring his Charizard back onto his team.Ĭharmander made its debut in Pokémon - I Choose You!, where Ash dreamed about one as his prospective starter. Another Charmander was owned by the Kanto Fair Host. In The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!, a Charmander was part of Professor Oak's demonstration of the Kanto starters during the Kanto Fair. In The Right Place and The Right Mime, another Charmander was seen in Professor Oak's possession, along with another Bulbasaur and Squirtle.

In A Six Pack Attack!, a Charmander went with Professor Oak on his trip to Hoenn along with a Bulbasaur and Squirtle. The Charmander was the first one to be found. Professor Oak, Tracey, Delia, and Gilbert split up to find the three missing Pokémon. In Journey to the Starting Line!, Gilbert intended to start his journey as a Pokémon Trainer, but the trio of Kanto starter Pokémon were scared off when Ash's Tauros stampeded through Professor Oak's house. It would evolve into Charmeleon by A Legendary Photo Op!, and then into Charizard during A League of His Own!. Trevor's Charmander first appeared in Summer of Discovery!. It would evolve into Charmeleon by its appearance in A Parent Trapped!.Ī Charmander starred in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate! as the leader of Team Go-Getters.Ī Charmander appeared in a flashback in Mega Evolution Special I as the unevolved form of Alain's Charizard. Ritchie owned a Charmander nicknamed Zippo, which debuted in A Friend In Deed. It later evolved into Charizard after battling Cross's Lycanroc. In this continuity, it previously belonged to Cross and evolved into Charmeleon after defeating a Jigglypuff in battle.

It has since evolved into Charmeleon, and then Charizard.Īsh's Charmander also appeared in I Choose You!, which is set in a different continuity from the main series. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and allowed Ash to catch it. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a Pokémon Center. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, believing Damian would return for it.

After the Team Rocket trio caused a forest fire, Ash Ketchum rescued the leader of the Squirtle Squad and assisted the gang in putting out the flames. The Pokémon anime features a gang of Squirtles called the Squirtle Squad, who were all abandoned by their original Trainers and caused mischief as a result. To hunt, it shoots water at its prey while underwater. In addition to its defensive potential, Squirtle's shell has a rounded shape with grooves on its surface, which help minimize resistance in water and enable it to swim at high speeds. When threatened, Squirtle withdraws into its shell and squirts out water with vigorous force. When a Squirtle hatches, its shell is soft, but forms and hardens over time until it becomes resilient enough that prodding fingers will bounce off it. It evolves into Wartortle at level 16 onward, and into Blastoise at level 36 onward. However, unlike in Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, Squirtle is obtainable alongside its fellow Kanto starters Bulbasaur and Charmander under special conditions in Pokémon Yellow Version, and relatively early on in Pokémon X and Y. Squirtle is also one of the Kanto region's three starter Pokémon. Squirtle is a small, blue, bipedal turtle-like creature, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #007 as the "Tiny Turtle Pokémon".
