Charcadet is a Fire-type Pokémon in the franchise of the same name. It was introduced into the ninth generation. It evolves into Armarouge when exposed to Auspicious Armor or Ceruledge when exposed to Malicious Armor.
Charcadet is a humanoid Pokémon said to have been born from burnt charcoal. Its body is mostly black, except for its torso and extremities, which are red; and its head, which, apart from the face, is orange with red colorations on the top and back. The head is large and has a fire-like plume above it, tipped with pink and dark blue colors. Charcadet's forehead is covered with a black plate-like mask with three holes at the center, and its eyes have wisps emanating from its red-and-yellow pupils. Charcadet's head is connected to its body by a very tiny neck. Its torso resembles a tunic, with an orange protrusion at the front that seems to connect to its neck. Its hands and feet are cylindrical, and it has a fiery "cape" on its back.
Charcadet has a fiery fighting spirit, and will battle opponents tougher than itself. When it fights, its firepower increases, reaching temperatures of over 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (1,000 degrees Celsius). It enjoys eating Berries that are rich in fat. Charcadet's evolution can be influenced by either the Auspicious Armor or the Malicious Armor.

Childhood Friend Charcadet, Charcadet's Pokétoon short
Charcadet is the only Pokémon introduced in the ninth generation to have a branched evolution.
Charcadet was briefly shown in a pre-release trailer on 6 October 2022, though it remained officially unrevealed until the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Because of the unavailability of the Malicious Armor in Scarlet and the Auspicious Armor in Violet, Charcadet is the only Pokémon whose branched evolutions are version-exclusives in the main series games due to an item unavailability.
