CARDEX BACKGROUND
About the species
When a powerful opponent appears, Charmeleon’s aggression grows and the flame at the tip of its tail may turn pale blue. It uses that tail to knock the enemy down before employing its claws. In its mountain den, the flame remains visible at night as a point of light. The Pokédex describes a Pokémon whose fervour can be read in the fire it carries, but whose attacks also depend on physical strength.
This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.A detail worth noticing
Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! states that Charmeleon may breathe bluish flames when a duel excites it. Pokémon Shield warns that when it loses its temper, it burns everything around it. The colour and size of its flames therefore reflect its state during battle.

Flip 3 coins. For each heads, discard 1 Fire Energy card attached to Blaine's Charmeleon. If you can't discard Energy cards, this attack does nothing.

(Any other effects that would happen after applying Weakness and Resistance still happen.)Documented variants
