Under various circumstances, you can find Charmander in the Spotlight Hour event and Field Research Task in Pokemon GO. You can also choose it as a Starter Pokemon, but the chances of finding the Shiny form are challenging.

During the September Charmander Community Day Classic, the featured critter will appear more frequently in the wild. The best way to encounter Shiny Charmander is by participating in the event as soon as it starts. Since the event will have a three-hour window, timing the use of the Lure Module and Incense with it can increase your chances.

Completing the Field Research Task by catching Charmander will reward you with a Charmander encounter, Mega Energy, and more. In the quest to find a Shiny Charmander, you have a good chance of getting original ones with high IVs.

To boost your odds, you can visit multiple locations favorable to Charmander’s Weather Condition to attach a Lure Module to a Pokestop. You can increase it more using Incense to catch up to its shiny spawn rate in the exact location.

Moreover, buying a ticket to an exclusive Special Research story for US$1.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency) during the Community Day event can promise many benefits.

Similar to Charmeleon, you can only obtain Charizard through the evolution process. You can give a Charmeleon 100 Charmander Candy to evolve into a Charizard. Getting the required Candy during the event is comparatively straightforward since the Lizard Pokemon is featured in various sections of the event.

You can apply the same evolution method to getting a Shiny Charizard. You have to evolve the first stage critter to the third to get the black body coloring Fire-type monster.
