The complete Pokemon Diamond and Pearl pokedex, part 1

Pokémon Name: Monferno
Type: Fire / Fighting
Classification: Playful
Pokédex Number: 005 Sinnoh / 391 National
Ability: Blaze – Increases the strength of Fire-type attacks when HP is low
Dream World ability: Iron Fist – Increases power of punching moves by 20%
Useful Attacks: Fire Wheel
Location Found:
D/P/P: Evolved from Chimchar
HG/SS: Trade from D/P/P

Once evolved into Monferno, Chimchar's impish mischief transforms into teenage rowdiness and angst. When this Pokémon's burning bum turns into a torching tail, he gains a secondary Fighting type, making him useful in a variety of new situations, and his speed begins to stand out as the other starters put on weight. Monferno is disappointingly similar to Ruby and Sapphire's starter evolution Blaziken, only everyone likes monkeys more than chickens.

Evolves into Infernape at Level 36.
