Chimchar (Japanese: ヒコザル Hikozaru) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It evolves into Monferno starting at level 14, which evolves into Infernape starting at level 36.
Chimchar is very agile. Before going to sleep, it extinguishes the flame on its tail to prevent fires. The gas made in its belly burns from its rear end. The fire burns weakly when it feels sick.
Along with Turtwig and Piplup, Chimchar is one of three starter Pokémon of Sinnoh available at the beginning of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
