You should catch me live! I stream here on RU-vid on my STREAMING CHANNEL - ru-vid.com/show-UCG4GS8CeMs-eRUXRDkOcp7Q and on TWITCH - www.twitch.tv/nickofinno MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE ENTIRE VIDEO SO YOU KNOW EVERY STEP.

Just search Nicko Finno, come hang out, chat and play video games!! We do speed running, challenges and new exciting games!

June 2022 this still works! Took 10-15 minutes real time for me to get the purple beam but then got charmander first try. Thanks for the tip!!

Just saying guys it still work in 2024

Thank you for this video, it's one of barely any which do their research in the game and don't just point at the end of the game. I believe you used to be able to get Charmander during the first bit of the wild area but I couldn't get it. This helped me greatly for my dream team. Thank you for doing your research and actually helping rather than going for views

There's a woman that stands by the water at West Lake Axewell who gives you a wishing piece for 100W. That'll save you some time. She's not always there but its worth a try first. Change the date and she'll appear.

Hey man, thank you so much for uploading this. It was a real life saver for me and especially my 6 year old son. He has very limited game time due to hes age and he was absolutely thrilled when he beat the game and got hes favourite pokemon Charmander. Today he accidently released that fucking fire lizard and was completely devastated. It's hard when he can't understand english (we live in Sweden) so its an accomplishment by itself that he has navigated himself through the game all of hes own with close to zero fuck ups. Anyways, he cried himself to sleep a few hours ago, there was just nothing I could say to comfort him lol. Anyways, I started googling and ended up here. 92k fucking watts (!!!) later I found that little shit pyromaniac! Like seriously that must have been some major crap luck. Anyways tomorrow I will be the hero dad who brought back my sons little buddy from the wild haha. Huge thanks for uploading this, or else I would have been forced into an all nighter trying to complete the game (again) before dawn.

April 19 / 2021 Still works. I've been a huge childhood fan of this little guy and Charizard in general. It was my beginning since Pokémon Red when I was just starting. I'm almost 31. Thank you and everyone who worked on this method. BURN BRIGHT!

Make sure you wait for the connection thing to finish, before you switch the time. Still works 9/22/20

Took a few times to get the purple beam, but first time checking it out it was a Charmeleon!!! 👌🏽💪🏼🙌🏽

I didn’t know it was so difficult to get a Charmander aside from Leon. I got a Charmander the first time I played at a den in Rolling Hills. I was flabbergasted.

You’re such a lifesaver! I hated that I spent so much watts on wishing pieces. Not only this video helped me get them back but makes it so much easier to find my fav Pokémon. Finally got a charmeleon! 😊

It took me less than 5 minutes, now I have my dream team, thanks ! :3

As of August 30th, 2020. This still works like a charm. Thank you for the great guide! Got my charmander after 5 restarts, and 4 day changes. Took maybe 15 minutes in total.

Thanks a lot! I hated to take soooo long to just get charmander but I've got it now thanks to you!

Wow, very well explained and shown. Upon research, I couldn't see anything about getting a Charmander early. Thank you. It's also extra helpful to me because I wanted a Litwick early. Thank you.

Works as of July 11, 2021. Took about 20 minutes real time total. Thanks a bunch for an easy to follow tutorial.

Thanks bro, didn’t even need to change the time and I got him first time

Finally i don't need to complete the game for a charmander

First time it was purple gave me a charmander! Still works thank you

I really didn’t think this was going to work when I very first started watching this video but then it actually work it took me about 20 tries to get the purple beam but it worked and I’m grateful so I will subscribe

I got my charmander randomly I just saw it in the dynamax thing when i was first going through, same level as all my other pokemon, so naturally i kept him on my team, and he was a very viable pokemon throughout the championship

Soooo useful I got charmander after a little and I got flamethrower as one of the rewards. Edit: a day later, I found 2 random charmelions and a gigantamax charizard

Still works as of August 27, 2022. Got the purple beam on my first try and then I got a lvl 29 Charmeleon on my third attempt. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for this 🙏🏼 Second play through will be awesome!

Im still trying for this charmander. UPDATE: Got a Charmeleon!

I had 4 wishing pieces, tried it. First purple was a 2 star Ninetales. Decided I can catch that and just do it again. Caught it then did the process again and got Charmander..... I’ve never been this lucky in my entire life. Thank you!

STILL WORKS IN JANUARY 15 2021!!! Thanks so much!!!

TY dude this is really helpful and I really love Charmander

MARCH 3, 2021 : WORKS

Thanks for the vid! I caught a 2 star charmeleon on my 3rd try! 💪🔥

2/24 2024 still works took a few tries for both but I got a Charizard because im in the end game. Thank you so much man!!!

This video is so helpful. Thank you so much.

Thank you! I just started my second playthrough and I already have a ralts and a charmander! Team looking good!

I like how he says “HARD save” also still works in January 25th 2021

I’m so glad this still works

This worked perfectly (28-12-2020)! I started the game today, and it took a lot of tries until I got a purple beam and then the charmander, BUT IT WORKED NONETHELESS. Thank you!!! I subscribed :)

Still works I just got the game Christmas and I got charmeleon 3rd try

Definitely still works on this Oct 18, 2020. Took like 10 tries to get purple but 3 tries to get char! Thanks!

Thank You! Also thanks to everyone who did the research and stuff. I have been racking my brain ever since I saw a Charmelion raid match in a magazine. Thank you!!

You're amazing! I just got mine. Thank you

Took a while to get the purple light but I got charmander first try. Thanks a lot my guy

Hey Mate, an amazing tutorial worked for me within an hour!

May 2024 and it still works! Thank you, Nicko 🧡

Fantastic vid, worked perfectly

Thank you so much! This worked for me after a few tries and it was a charmeleon!

October 26, 2021: still works, got a charmeleon

It took me awhile, but it still works on 12/16/2020! Thank you!

It took forever for me, but I finally got a purple beam! Still working for June of 2022! Thanks man, you're the best!

Yay! I already played the game with scrobunny on Sheild, and now I want a charmander as my starter for Sword. :P

Still works December 26, 2022 After around 4-5 restarts and 1 date change I was able to get Charmeleon and as rewards, Flamethrower and Heat Crash. (And other additional rewards) Thank you very much for making this video 🙏🏻 Edit: Charmeleon evolved to Charizard upon reaching Level 37 (Level 35 when I got it). Also learned the moved Air Slash when it evolved

thank you so much this really help me! I really really recommend this

Yessss ! After 7 tires I got the purple Beam and one time skip !!! Thank you !! This video just popped up on my feed and I’m very happy I watch this !!!!!!!

Cool. It worked. 30 minutes to get the ray and 13 days ahead for Charmeleon Lvl 29. Thanks 🤟🏻

thank you so much man made my day I got purple beam third time and charmander first I was so hype lol

This actually works! Thank You dude!

Bro thank you it took forever it I got my man now I can start the game

I got a Charmeleon from this, thank you

I’m currently in the middle of a Fire Only Hardcore Nuzlocke and this is gonna help a lot.

This was wicked helpful and easy.. thank you man!

Just did this. Still works as of 2/17/23! It took me like 30 minutes to get purple & then another 20 minutes to get charmander. Thank you!

Honestly this makes the grass and water starters better. Frankly I think it makes grass the best. Gyarados is relatively easy to get, specially if you farm some candy or xp boost early on from dynamax dens to get magikarp to level 20. That gives you some pretty powerful early starters that all scale pretty dam well.

October 31, 2021- still works. Thank you bro🙏

Thanks, heaps mate, I just tried this now on my first-ever playthrough of the game and I got Charmander on my 2nd attempt. Thank you :)

BRO, THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOUR A LIFESAVER

Can confirm still works. Thanks a lot

I’m like alright lemme get ready to change the date but he was there on my first try

Your voice gets me so pumped up.....

I know this video doesn’t seem relevant anymore but thx so much, Charizard is my favorite Pokémon and I just got the switch, thx to you, I’ll be rocking with a charizard by the end of the game

Took me about 7 trys but got a Charmeleon! Thank you man!

works, BEST VID EVER

This helped i hope you never stop uploading

DUDE THANKS SO MUCH THIS REALLY HELPED! and for those who’s watching thinking it’s too good to be true Is not and is not to high of a level is level 16 also my first encounter in it was a vulpine witch was in the thing for the raides

I have not done this yet but since I have lots of L.Candy I cant wait to get charizard!

I got mine! it took me absolutely ages.... about an hours worth of quitting and restarting. On one of the attempts i double clicked and accidentally went back into the game, saving a pink light. had to go get 3,000 all over again. After getting a purple light I had to fast forward the date 25 times in the end for Charmander to appear. Ended up with 7,500 Watts at least while doing it

Still works! Thanks for the video

Still works awesome vid bro

Still works to this day! Took me 30 minutes but I got a charizard in a purple den! Tysm for the tip!

I can verify that this method still works! Thank you Nick! Your a lifesaver haha, I got a sizzlipede on my first rare spawn but im still motivated to get charmander!

Holy shish it worked. I thought it wouldn't. TYSM

This still works as of 7/18/21 awesome thank you for this!

Feels like I came out of a time machine. I left of on diamond and pearl for ds. Now we got giant Pokémon 😂

Thank you so much for the post! Took a little bit of tries (which wasn’t bad because I got heaps of Watts), but got there eventually!! You da man!! I Subscribed! 😁

Thanks! Finally decided to pick this game up and saw this video. It’s safe to say it still works as November 2021!

Hell yeah!!! I was skeptical at first but after 15 tries I got Charmander. Notable mention even if it doesn't work you still get the extra watts which is great early. So for those with no luck right away. The extra watt is a huge bonus. Thanks bro!!! Earned a new subscriber

Woot woot got a Charmeleon after about 5-8 minutes!! Not too shabby

Took me 2 resets to get purple beam and got a Charmander on the 1st Attempt…Appreciate it

Thank you so much! This still works on 12/30/2020. The hard thing is getting the purple ray. After that I easily got a Charmeleon.

IT WORKED I LOVE YOU NICKO I WILL LIKE!!

Explained perfectly. Only took me 2 try’s to get purple beam and 3 to get chameleon. 👍👍👍

Thank you so much

February 11th 2021 and it works, great vid, liked
