Charmander in PokéBonk
Fiery Assault · v0.8.18 · Checked 2026-10-22
Treat the low-HP damage bonus as a conditional benefit. Protecting your run still matters; Fire Spin and Flamethrower are the pair for Fiery Whirlwind.
- Passive
- Sea of Flames
Fire damage gains 10%. While HP is below 40%, the passive also grants a 40% damage bonus.
- How to unlock
Choose this partner at the start, or complete two runs (win or lose), then encounter and capture it in a later run. Completing the challenge alone does not add it to your League.

Your run kit
The opening move is equipped at the start. Later moves can appear in level-up choices from the listed player level; they are not automatically learned. Your full offer pool can also include other compatible moves.
| Move | Type | Available |
|---|---|---|
| Ember | fire | Equipped at run start |
| Fire Spin | fire | Can be offered from Lv. 2 |
| Flamethrower | fire | Can be offered from Lv. 4 |
| Fire Blast | fire | Can be offered from Lv. 7 |
New runs have three move slots by default. The Lab’s fourth-move upgrade raises capacity to four. Lab upgrades and costs
Ultimate forms
- Charmander — Rising Blaze
- A fire column bursts into a burning ring and leaves fire on the ground.
- Charmeleon — Blast Burn
- Three fire rings combine with six flame-emitting magma fissures.
- Charizard — Giga Blaze
- Fourteen fireballs lead into a large explosion and magma cracks.
Use the Ultimate when its charge is full (default desktop key: R). It charges over time and through combat; Lab and item bonuses can accelerate it. The unmodified passive charge rate is 1/95 per second while inactive, rather than a fixed 95-second cooldown.
Evolution in a run
- CharmeleonLv. 24
- CharizardLv. 44
These are thresholds traced in the current client, not mainline evolution levels or playtested results. Evolution also checks the target sprite and level-up processing; delayed evolution can shift later timing. These three lines do not require a stone or trade in the traced run logic.
Signature fusion
Fire Spin + Flamethrower → Fiery Whirlwind
Bring both input moves to move level 8, then use Bill’s Machine. Fusing frees one move slot. Fusion rules and all recipes
The passive and opening attack were checked in the live starter menu. Kits, Ultimates, evolution thresholds and fusion pairs are current-client definitions; their outcomes have not been playtested here. Sources and verification
