The cutesy demeanor is dropped in favor of angry eyes and an even larger tail flame. Despite being named after a color-changing lizard, Charmeleon sticks to just one lifestyle - burning rage. Charmeleon's moves are more aggressive than his predecessor, but much like Ivysaur, he's lost in between two more popular monsters. Just scoot on along to level 36 and be happy you did.
Evolution: From Charmander at 16, to Charizard at 36
