#004Charmander
FIRERARECharmander shows up in the level 20 hunt and averages 22 of loot and 248 XP per kill.
Is Charmander worth hunting?
Among the 30 Pokémon in the level 20 hunt, Charmander ranks 24th for loot per kill, 8% below the level's median.
Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.
62% of all loot comes from a single item: Pot of Lava. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Fire Tail (132 at the NPC), at 3.07% chance — on average one every 33 kills.
For XP it ranks 2 of 30 at this level — 248 per kill.
