Physical and special attacks use different attack factors. Defense and special defense affect the matching incoming damage category; they are not flat percentages of damage blocked. Speed is the game’s base movement value.

A simple Fire plan with more movement room

Charmeleon suits players who like Ember but want more HP and speed than Charmander. We would still develop the first attack before branching out.

Special attack is stronger than physical. Changing to a physical dash because it looks useful can move away from the scaling already chosen.

Our recommendation combines this partner’s move options and base stats with the records available. The capture time is shown for each board; individual records do not reveal their game build or loadout. These are recorded runs, not win rates or a current-patch build test. Browse the records →

These are priorities and alternatives, not three attacks you receive or fire together. The selected slot keeps casting; existing projectiles, placed fields and temporary buffs can remain after switching. Bonds let several moves keep casting from one selected group.

A buff cast adds a stack rather than instantly granting the maximum bonus. Refresh it, return to damage before it expires, or combine it with damage in a Bond. It affects your player, not the whole team. Do not pass up a useful damage upgrade just to complete this list.

Reliable default

Ember

special · Fire

Keep the free opening for a straightforward Power evolution goal.

Fire BlastLv. 5 Ember + Power

Surrounding pressure

Heat Wave

special · Fire

Radial projectiles cover a different crowd shape while staying special. Vigor is its evolution requirement.

EruptionLv. 5 Heat Wave + Vigor

Matching buff

Nasty Plot

buff · Normal

We would use special scaling here, rather than buying Swords Dance for Ember.

Upgrade order

1. Build Ember levels first.
2. Choose the correct stat: Power for Ember, Vigor for Heat Wave.
3. Add a buff or Bond after the attack can keep a lane open.

If the cards do not cooperate: An Ember-only damage route remains sensible if Heat Wave is late. Do not abandon a nearly evolved attack for an unlevelled crowd option in a tight wave.

We would pair damage with a player watching the approach lane. If Wartortle switches to a personal buff, Charmeleon should keep attacking instead of expecting Water damage to continue.

Ivysaur

Consider Vine Whip →

Ivysaur can cover nearby approaches while Charmeleon uses a projectile. Decide who moves first when turning.

Wartortle

Consider Whirlpool →

Wartortle can try localized pull. Use it to plan a route around the gathered crowd, not a place to stand.

Kanto pairings to try, not an all-roster co-op ranking or a tested best team. Each player manages their own active slot and buffs. A partner knowing a move does not mean it keeps casting throughout the run.

1. Track the correct requirement

   Power and Vigor lead to different evolutions; taking one does not satisfy both.

2. Turn before the ring closes

   A radial attack can hit around you, but it does not make being surrounded a good position.

3. Keep the opening cost optional

   Ember is a free default. The 400-coin unlock provides a choice of start, not a compulsory first purchase.

These are the cards this partner can learn, including its default attack. They are choices, not a loadout you receive at once. An evolution requires the base move at its maximum level and the listed stat card; attack names alone do not imply extra effects such as healing.

Charmeleon belongs to the Kanto collection and has uncommon rarity. Check the Kanto pool when choosing a regional Gacha pull; a pull does not guarantee a specific species. Compare Gacha pools and pity rules →
