How to unlock Charmander in PokeBonk
Charmander is one of the three PokeBonk starters (Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle), so it is in your League from the first run and needs no challenge. The PokeBonk starters guide compares the three.
Charmander moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ember | Fire | Special | Projectile | Start | 15 | 0.85 s |
| 2 | Fire Spin | Fire | Special | Vortex | Level 2 | 38 | 3.06 s |
| 3 | Flamethrower | Fire | Special | Cone | Level 4 | 4 | 1.88 s |
| 4 | Fire Blast | Fire | Special | Explosive orb | Level 7 | 22 | 1.47 s |
Charmander passive: Sea of Flames
Below 40% HP, +40% damage. +10% Fire damage.
Ember, Fire Spin, Flamethrower, and Fire Blast match Charmander's type, so they deal 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Charmander Ultimate in PokeBonk
Charmander's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charmander | Rising Blaze | 1.2 s | A column of fire engulfs you and bursts into a ring that burns and leaves the ground ablaze. |
| Charmeleon | Blast Burn | 1.8 s | Three rings of fire and six magma fissures that spit flames. |
| Charizard | Giga Blaze | 3 s | Fourteen fireballs rain down on the enemies and it all ends in an enormous explosion with magma cracks. |
Charmander evolution levels in PokeBonk
In PokeBonk every evolution happens by player level inside a run, whatever the main games ask for. The Charmander line evolves like this: Charmander evolves into Charmeleon at level 24 and Charmeleon evolves into Charizard at level 44.
Charmander stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charmander | 0 | 104 | 7.9 | 1.07x | 1.02x | 1.05x | 1x |
| Charmeleon | 1 | 122 | 8 | 1.06x | 1.01x | 1.06x | 1.12x |
| Charizard | 2 | 136 | 8.1 | 1.05x | 1.01x | 1.06x | 1.24x |
