In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 309, Chimchar plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Speed at 61, while HP (44) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Its Fire typing leaves Chimchar with 3 weaknesses against 6 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 4 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Chimchar a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Speed +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
