The blood of a Charmeleon is over 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and must be handled with special protective equipment lest it cause dangerous burns. This is not, however, an uncommon temperature for the blood of a fire-type pokemon – indeed, quite a few burn even hotter.

What makes their blood notable is how often they shed it. They are a species of pokemon in an adolescence of evolution with far more courage than brains, and rare is the city which can not count a Charmeleon who heroically died to save its people. Many of these Charmeleon, however, would probably have survived had they shouted less during combat and learned the value of self-preservation, even if only to carry on the cause.

It is from this species of flaming warrior pokemon that the term "hotblooded" has entered the Galarian language to describe those who attempt to use passion and shouting and courage to overcome the impossible. Few of them ever succeed, but most become heroes just for trying.
