#18 Charmander - Burning Shadows (sm3)
Charmander is a Fire-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a straightforward design and minimal strategic complexity. It possesses two attacks: Scratch, which costs one Colorless energy to deal 10 damage, and Flame Tail, requiring one Fire and one Colorless energy to inflict 20 damage. The card lacks resistances and is weak to Water-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its retreat cost is one Colorless energy, aligning with its basic evolution status. Charmander appears in the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Burning Shadows set, released on August 5, 2017. The artwork by Kagemaru Himeno reflects its fiery theme, with the flavor text emphasizing the symbolic role of its tail flame in indicating health. As a Common rarity card, it serves as an introductory option for players familiarizing themselves with Fire-type Pokémon mechanics. The card’s simplicity underscores its role as a foundational entry in the series’ thematic lineup.
