Charmeleon is the evolved form of Charmander, evolving at Level 16. It evolves in Charizard at Level 36.
Information
Charmelon is a tough and hot-headed Pokémon. It is excited by tough battles, which can cause it to blow out bluish-white flames. Charmeleon usually attacks in a barbaric nature by whipping its tail around and using its claws to slash away at enemies. When swung, Charmeleon's burning tail will raise the temperature to unbearably high levels. It will constantly seek opponents due to its nature and will not calm down until it wins.
They usually live in rocky mountain areas, where their tails shine at night like evening stars.
