PokeBonk Charmeleon
Pokemon · Charmander line · last checked 2026-10-20
PokeBonk Charmeleon is a Fire-type Pokemon that you cannot pick at the start of a run: it is the evolved form of Charmander, a League Pokemon. Play Charmander and it evolves into Charmeleon automatically at player level 24, which raises your HP and damage multiplier to 1.12x. Charmeleon keeps the Charmander kit and upgrades the Ultimate to Blast Burn. The line sits in C tier with a Kit Score of 27.2.

How to get Charmeleon in PokeBonk
You do not unlock Charmeleon directly. Charmander is a starter, so you can play the line from your first run. Then pick Charmander for a run and level up: evolution in a run depends only on your player level, not on stones or trades, so Charmeleon arrives at level 24.
Each stage adds 0.12 to your HP and damage multiplier, so an evolved form hits harder and takes more hits than the Pokemon you started with. An Eviolite helps until the last stage. See PokeBonk evolution for every line.
Charmeleon moves and passive
Charmeleon uses the same four-move kit as Charmander; evolving does not swap moves. Its passive is Sea of Flames: Below 40% HP, +40% damage. +10% Fire damage.

Charmeleon 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.
Charmeleon 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 |
