Charmeleon is one of the toughest and meanest-looking Pokémon you'll ever encounter in the game. Charmeleon evolves from Charmander, one of the three starter Pokémon you get to choose from at the beginning of the game. Charmeleon is actually pretty strong for its level, being able to use high-level fire techniques such as Flamethrower. But for those who aren't familiar with the series, you can make Charmeleon evolve into a much stronger Pokémon, Charizard. Learn how by scrolling to step 1.

Steps

Know what Pokémon types Charmeleon is weak against. This is very important when you're trying to evolve Charmeleon. As a Fire-type Pokémon, it is weak against Ground and Rock-types, such as Onix and Dugtrio, and Water-types, like Squirtle and Gyarados. Charmeleon will take twice the damage from these types as it normally gets from other types. If you use Charmeleon against these Pokémon, you'll have a hard time winning, thus reducing the experience points (XP) you can gain for every battle.

Know what Pokémon types Charmeleon is most effective against. Fire attacks are very effective against Grass-, Ice-, Bug-, and Steel-type Pokémon, inflicting twice the normal damage. Battles with these types will be easier, and you can defeat higher level Pokémon, therefore gaining more XP for every battle.

Level Charmeleon up. Once you know how to use Charmeleon against other Pokémon, you need to make it level up. Fight as many battles as you can to gain XP faster. Charmeleon evolves into the all-powerful Charizard when it reaches level 36.

Use Rare Candies. If you don't want to do Pokémon battles, you can always use Rare Candies to increase its level. Rare Candies are in-game items that increases your Pokémon's level by 1 point instantly. You can get Rare Candies by completing missions or from inside Battle Towers (available only for the newer versions of the game).

Do not use Fire Stones. Because Charmeleon evolves from Charmander, using Fire Stones won't have any effect on it because stones can't be used to forcibly evolve a starter Pokémon.
