Physical Sweeper Charmander (Retro)
Charmander is a remarkable Physical Sweeper in single battles. It is primarily designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. The rules of gen-one were quite varied from today. Back before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Double-Edge is a physical 100-base power Normal-type move (has 1/4 recoil). ♦ Body Slam is a physical 85-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Dig is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ♦ Seismic Toss is a physical 1-base power Fighting-type move (damage = Charmander's level. Can hit ghost types). ♦ Counter is a physical 0-base power Fighting-type move (if hit by physical attack, returns double damage). ♦ Toxic is a status move (badly poisons the target).

Charmander is a pretty decent Special Sweeper in single battles. It tries to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. From the original 151, few Pokemon could compare to Charmander at the start of the Pokemon metagame. Remember prior to Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Flamethrower is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Fire-type move (10% chance to burn the target). ♦ Ember is a special STAB-boosted 40-base power Fire-type move (10% chance to burn the target). ♦ Dragon Rage is a special 1-base power Dragon-type move (deals 40 hp of damage to the target). ♦ Toxic is a status move (badly poisons the target). ♦ Reflect is a status move (while active, your Charmander's defense is doubled).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
