Collector Insights
Charmeleon is a Fire-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It includes two attacks: "Slash," which costs three Colorless energy to deal 30 damage, and "Flamethrower," requiring two Fire and one Colorless energy to deal 50 damage. The latter attack mandates discarding a Fire Energy card attached to Charmeleon to activate. The card’s flavor text describes its ability to raise temperatures to unbearably high levels through its burning tail. It belongs to the Base Set 2, released in February 2000, and is illustrated by artist Mitsuhiro Arita. The Pokémon has no resistances and is weak to Water-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its themecolor is a warm orange-brown, matching its Fire-type classification.
When it swings its burning tail, it raises the temperature to unbearably high levels.
