Charmander

Charmander secures third with 309 base stats, driven by a strong 60 Attack and 50 Special, but its 39 HP is 40% lower than Bulbasaur's HP. This weakness holds it back from a higher rank, though its Fire typing offers unique offensive power against Grass-types. Charmander's 60 Attack is 25% higher than Squirtle's 48 Attack, highlighting its role as a physical sweeper despite defensive fragility. Its Speed of 65 also outpaces both Bulbasaur and Squirtle by 15 points.
