Return to Hop’s house after the story is over
First of all, you have to know that Charmander is only available once you’ve completed the main story. Once you’ve completed it you will go back to Hop’s house which is located all the way back at the beginning of the game. You will go up into Leon’s room (up the stairs and towards the right) and you will see a Poke Ball sitting in the middle of the carpet.
After you read a note from Leon explaining that he has left Charmander for you, you will be able to collect and put Charmander in your party or collection. The Charmander can be leveled up and then evolved into a Charizard that is able to Gigantamax
