Which deck it belongs in

It is the connector card in a Charizard line. Since Charizard ex has rotated from Standard, this deck is now enjoyed for casual and learning play.

Strengths
  • A solid 40 damage attack for a middle stage
  • Healthy 110 HP that survives many hits
Watch out for
  • It is still a stepping stone, so try not to leave it stuck as your only attacker.

Pairs well with

Charizard ex

It evolves into Charizard ex.

Pro tip

If you have the cards, evolve straight to Charizard ex rather than relying on Steady Firebreathing for long.

From the Pokédex

Charmeleon has a fiery temper and uses its sharp claws to take on tough opponents.

Note for the parent

Charmeleon is the growing-up stage. The deck it belongs to is now casual and learning play, because the Charizard ex at the top has rotated out of Standard.
