Where to find Charmeleon

Charmeleon is not a wild encounter on any of the standard maps.

Charmeleon can hatch from a Lava Egg. Now and then an encounter on a map turns up an egg instead of a wild Pokémon, and which eggs a map can drop depends on its types. The Lava Egg can drop on Lava Beach, Jungle, Leaf Town, and Wild Desert. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
