Is there any point in evolving Chimchar in Pokemon Diamond?

Question

I was looking at its learnset on wikipedia and noticed that Chimchar will learn flamethrower at level 41. I then looked at Infernapes learnset and was shocked to discover - HE DOESN'T LEARN FLAMETHROWER. Aside from the fact that it will help fill my pokedex, is there any point in evolving him?

Answer 1

well then u shud just evolve chimchar

and the attack flamethrower u can teach it to ur infernape by using tm

Answer 2

Well, when you evolve your pokemon, all their stats go up by a certain amount. So, once you evolve your chimchar, it will get considerably stronger. Also, take into consideration; chimchar will learn flamethrower at level 41, but it won't learn close combat like infernape will, which is a strong fighting move.

Hope this helps

Answer 3

Well, If I were you, I'd wait until he learned flamethrower, then get him to evolve. Just use an Everstone, or hit B when it evolves. Infernape has better stats than Chimchar.

Answer 4

I would evolve it to Infernape and then teach it Flamethrower by TM.
