Charcadet (Japanese:カルボウCarbou) is aFire-typePokémon introduced inGeneration IX.

Itevolves intoArmarouge when exposed to a set ofAuspicious Armor orCeruledge when exposed to a set ofMalicious Armor.

Biology

Charcadet is a humanoidPokémon said to have been born from burnt charcoal. Its body is mostly black, except for its torso and extremities, which are red; and its head, which, apart from the face, is orange with red colorations on the top and back. The head is large and has a fire-like plume above it, tipped with pink and dark blue colors. Charcadet's forehead is covered with a black plate-like mask with three holes at the center that becomes dark red while it attacks, and its eyes have wisps emanating from its red-and-yellow pupils. Charcadet's head is connected to its body by a very tiny neck. Its torso resembles atunic, with an orange protrusion at the front that seems to connect to its neck. Its hands and feet are cylindrical, and it has a fiery "cape" on its back. It has small, teardrop-shaped indents on its soles.

Charcadet has a fiery fighting spirit, and willbattle opponents tougher than itself. Its firepower increases as it fights, reaching temperatures of over 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (1,000 degrees Celsius or 1,273 Kelvins). It enjoys eatingBerries that are rich in fat. As revealed inThe Terapagos I Don't Know, Charcadet lived inPaldean lands since ancient times, where they formed bonds withhumans because it was highly prized for its exceptional skill in manipulating flames. In the same episode, it is also said to have accompanied nobility and knights in the past. Charcadet'sEvolution is influenced by old sets of armor:one with auspicious wishes living within it andone with malicious will lurking within it.
