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).

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.
