Yes in the windmill place east of the town there are ponytas that you can catch and learn flame wheel at lvl 15
You will first find Gardenia in the forest in front of the Old Chateau just before Eterna City. Then, you will find Gardenia in her gym at the bottom right hand corner of Eterna City.
For my Platinum game i started off with Chimchar. He is quite strong and when he evolves to Monferno, he learns fighting moves. I suggest you should evolve Chimchar *If you start with him* before you get to the first Gym. Also, when Monferno evolves into Infernape, its stats are quite strong. I suggest Chimchar for your starter. D:
You will have to trade for the Ice Beam TM if you want it to defeat Gardenia because the Ice Beam TM cannot be found until you get to Route 216 and you will need to beat Gardenia before you can continue on.
It is generally better to let your Pokemon evolve because they will have higher stats and gain stat points at a higher rate. The downside to this is that they also learn moves at a slower rate. If you want to have your Chimchar learn a certain move earlier, you should wait for it to learn that move before evolving it.
Before you battle the Starly at the start of the game, you can choose whether you pick Turtwig, Piplup or Chimchar from the suitcase. Pick Turtwig and it's yours.
either u get a Chimchar or an action replay to make fire Pokemon appear -------------------------------------- Don't believe that. On the way to Eterna in the grass there's a chance of a Ponyta coming out
well if your starter was piplup, your rival should have a turtwig.if your starter was chimchar,dawn/lucas should have a turtwig that you can see when you team up with dawn/lucas for a double battle.if your starter was turtwig....i dont see why you asked this question...oh before i forget the eterna gym leader,gardenia, has a turtwig so you can see her turtwig too well if your starter was piplup, your rival should have a turtwig.if your starter was chimchar,dawn/lucas should have a turtwig that you can see when you team up with dawn/lucas for a double battle.if your starter was turtwig....i dont see why you asked this question...oh before i forget the eterna gym leader,gardenia, has a turtwig so you can see her turtwig too
Before you beat the elite 4 and get the national dex, there are only 2 fire type pokemon; chimchar and ponyta. But after you get the national dex, you can go to stark mountain and fine some good fire pokemon. also you can catch houndoom at lake valor lakefront
errm the movie was set before ash caght his chimchar
I'm sorry if I seem like a jerk but, people like you really piss me off. Pokemon Red Rescue Team was made before Chimchar and all other Pokemon in it's generation except Lucario, Bonsly, Weavile, and Mime Jr. were not invented at the time. So yes. You can be Chimchar.... No, you can't. Now accept my sincerest apologies for being a jerk but this is just my nature and I am trying to help and if you don't want my help I will take me and my help somewhere else, I am sorry if I hurt your feelings but you honestly need to do more research before you waste people's time. The time I just used to help you out I will never get back so appreciate it.
Before gaining the national dex, there is the fire starter Chimchar/Monferno/Infernape and Ponyta/Rapidash. After obtaining the national dex, all Pokemon can be obtained in one way or another, by trading, transfering and searching. or by action replay which you can get for 20 dollars at Walmart. which you could get ANY Pokemon if you get the right codes of the computer.
A good party to start with would be getting the next pokemon(when u start with chimchar): -chimchar(of course) -shinx(in the route next to sandgem town) -budew(in the route north of jublife city) -magikarp(with exp share) -and geodude(cave north of jublife city) -and if u want when u get bicycle (after beating Gardenia)u can go to the wayward cave and get a gible
