Chimchar is the energetic Fire-type starter Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. Known for its powerful legacy, it evolves into Monferno and then Infernape, gaining Fire/Fighting typing. In the anime, Ash's Chimchar was abandoned by Paul for being too weak but trained hard under Ash to become an extraordinary fighter, defeating tough opponents like Electivire. Its head flame blazes brighter in intense battles.
