Charcadet is the Fire Child Pokémon, a pure Fire type from Generation 9 at dex #935, said to have been born from burnt charcoal. It evolves into Armarouge using an Auspicious Armor or into Ceruledge using a Malicious Armor. Its forehead carries a black plate-like mask that darkens to red while it attacks, and it has a fiery cape-like growth on its back. Charcadet and its Evolutions were designed by Tomohiro Kitakaze, and it is the only Pokémon introduced in Generation IX with a branched Evolution. Its design pairs burning charcoal with a cadet or squire in training, and its Japanese category can also be read as hinoko, fire child, which is where the English category comes from. It showed up briefly in a trailer on 6 October 2022 but stayed officially unrevealed until Scarlet and Violet launched.
Amethio's Ceruledge was shown to have been a Charcadet during his childhood, as revealed in The Truth Revealed!. The species debuted properly in The Terapagos I Don't Know, living in ancient Paldean fort ruins, and reappeared in HZ102 when it helped calm a Laquium-afflicted Scovillain before being caught by Liko.
Charcadet's first cards are two 2023 Scarlet & Violet Commons illustrated by Souichirou Gunjima and nagimiso. Paldea Evolved added Commons by takuyoa and KEIICHIRO ITO, and Obsidian Flames and Paradox Rift each contributed further Common printings. Paldean Fates carried both a Common by nagimiso and a Shiny rare by Masakazu Fukuda, and Stellar Crown and Surging Sparks added Commons by Krgc, Kariya, and Mékayu. Teeziro drew an MEP Black Star promo. The Mega Evolution era also has a Phantasmal Flames Common by Tomokazu Komiya and a 2026 Pitch Black Common by Ryuta Fuse.
