In media, the portrayal of Squirtles are very varied. In a popular children’s show they are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles, in a spy/thriller film a Squirtle is the main character known as James Pond, while in a popular video game about a plumber, Squirtles are generic enemies.

#006 - Charizard

Due to the thermal updrafts, wild Charizard tend to be found near volcanos and lava outlets.

In Kanto, seeing a shiny Charizard flying at night is considered to be a sign of good luck, due to the resemblance to a shooting star.

Charizards create their own dens, clawing out the ground and reinforcing it with heat from their flames.

Natural hunters, Charizards can wipe out locations by hunting their meals.

While they can be relaxed, Charizards will become aggressive if a chance to prove their strength arises.

Male Charizards compete for females with displays of flight, strength, and fire. Winning Charizards get the first choice of the females. If the female agrees, the two are bonded for life.

#005 - Charmeleon

#004 - Charmander

Charmanders require fat deposits to turn to fire. Because of this, they often hunt for fresh prey.

Due to their tail flames and lack of spatial awareness, young Charmanders require constant supervision.

The health of their tale flame is an accurate representation of their health, with death being the main reason for extinguishing the fire. This has led to the common mistake that extinguishing the fire will cause the Charmander to die.

Despite needing large amounts of food, Charmanders will often cooperate with others to hunt larger prey, evenly splitting the meat between themselves.
