Is Charmeleon 13 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Of the 1,108 cards in the archive that can remove Charmeleon 13 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 45.

What is Charmeleon as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Charmeleon 13 is one print of Charmeleon. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Charmeleon has been printed 39 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Charmander.
It is not the end of the line either — Charizard evolves from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (180 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Charmeleon print, and can the older ones still be played?

39 prints carry this name in the archive, and 34 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (110 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Charmeleon 13 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Fire Fang, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 15 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Charmander has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 7,584 of 17,290

Fire cardsNo. 754 of 1,574

Stage 1 cardsNo. 2,430 of 5,102

Team UpNo. 87 of 156

What actually removes it

A Water attack printed at 45 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 90 HP.
1,116 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 776 cards in one attack.

Charmeleon 13 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Charmeleon 13?

Charmeleon 13 has 90 HP and a Water weakness at ×2, so a Water attack printed at 45 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 90.

What is the strongest attack on Charmeleon 13?

Fire Fang, printed at 30 damage for 2 Energy — 15 damage per Energy card. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Burned.

What is the retreat cost of Charmeleon 13?

2 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Can an older Charmeleon print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 34 prints listed on this page, 6 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Charmeleon evolve from?

Charmander. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Charmeleon 13 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Charmeleon 13 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
