Biology

Charcadet is a small, humanoid Pokémon. It can evolve into two other Pokémon, Armarouge and Ceruledge: the Auspicious Armor will evolve it into Armarouge, which specializes in ranged projectile attacks, while the Malicious Armor will evolve it into Ceruledge, which specializes in close-range blade attacks.

Design & origin

Charcadet appears to be based on both charcoal and squires.
