Strategy Overview

Though Charmander is outclassed in many ways by its Fire-type brethren in Little Cup, it has a perk that sets it apart from the other sweepers in the tier. Charmander's access to Dragon Dance, which raises the lizard's average Attack and Speed stats makes Charmander a ferocious sweeper in LC when given the proper support.
