Fire monkey Pokemon Chimchar has been in the game since Generation IV. The Pokemon series has many fire-type Pokemon but Chimchar is quite unique based on its appearance.
This monkey Pokemon is more like a chimpanzee that’s why it is a unique creature we have seen in the Pokemon world. Since it is an unevolved Pokemon, it will grow up and transform into a more powerful Pokemon.
If you are planning to add Chimchar in your collection then you must find it at the right spot. In each generation, the spots where Chimchar resides are different. We have listed up all the spots where you can catch it and more details down below.
Fire Monkey Pokemon Chimchar
Unfortunately, Pokemon fans who are currently playing any game which got released before Generation IV cannot find Chimchar. Our Fire Monkey Pokemon was added to the Pokemon franchise in Generation IV and onwards.
All the games in Generation IV and onwards have Chimchar except for Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee, you cannot obtain it in these two games.
So, this little chimpanzee is a hyperactive Pokemon since we all know how monkeys react in real life. And there is a unique thing about Chimchar.
The fire on its back is not always that strong, it dynamically changes based on Chimchar’s moods and even if it feels unwell, the fire will get dim. Moreover, the gas made by Chimchar in its belly works as the fuel to ignite the fire.
What’s more interesting is it never gets extinguished even the rain can’t stop the fire at its back. Chimchar knows that it can cause harm to the environment with its fiery back, so to keep things safe, it blows away the fire when it falls asleep.
Chimchar’s Physical Appearance
The Pokemon series does not have many Pokemon that resemble monkeys. We have seen just a few Pokemon, Chimchar is one of those monkey Pokemon and specially it is a fire monkey Pokemon.
Chimchar’s monkey traits make it super active and its fiery back helps him adapt to unexceptional fire-type moves. This even goes to its 2 evolutions.
Coming to Chimchar’s appearance, it is no different from a standard monkey, more specifically a Chimpanzee. However, the only difference is on its head and its tail. The head has the shape of a flame on its top. Whereas it has a burning flame in place of the tail.
Chimchar has an orange-colored body which gets more prominent due to a lighter cream color on its face, ear, and belly area. The inner ear and eyes have an outline of red color.
Catching Fire Monkey Pokemon Chimchar
From Generation IV of Pokemon, we have witnessed many new games getting released. And the best part is each one of those games have a variety of regions to explore. So, this makes finding Chimchar a bit challenging.
Each of the regions has different spots where Chimchar lives. But, you don’t have to worry we have got you covered. We have listed up all the possible ways and spots where you can catch our fire monkey Pokemon Chimchar.

Chimchar’s Evolution
Like the rest of the Pokemon, Chimchar has 2 evolutions. Initially, under level 20 Chimchar evolved into Monferno. Finally, when it reaches level 36, it evolves into Infernape.
What’s cool about Chimchar’s evolution is both of the evolved Pokemon can learn fire-type as well as fighting-type moves. The first evolution, Monferno is a grown chimpanzee which is quite similar to Chimchar as far as appearance is concerned.
Whereas the full-grown second evolution Infernape is different in looks compared to Chimchar. Both Chimchar and Monferno has a fire on their tail but Infernape has it on its head.
Infernape is the ultimate fire and fighting-type Pokemon that you should not miss on adding to your team. As this Pokemon gets evolved it will be able to learn many new moves. You can also use TMs to make him learn more powerful moves.

However, that’s not all the moves it can learn in Generation IX, our fire monkey Pokemon can learn even from TMs. The final evolution of Chimchar already allows it to learn super effective moves but you can make it learn much more powerful moves with the help of TMs.
