You cannot catch Chimchar in the wild in Pokemon Pearl. You can only get chimchar either at the beginning of the game, or breeding a chimcharm, infernape, or monferno. Otherwise, you need an Action Replay to catch a chimchar in the wild.
Go to the desert and walk around until you see a chimchar
in the begining of the game the profeser will give you three Pokemon and you have to pick one the three Pokemon are chimchar,piplup and turtwig.
from my side chimchar because you can catch a crogunk
If you chose Chimchar, use chimchar If you chose Turtwig, catch a starly and train it If you chose Piplup, use piplup's peck but if that doesn't work, catch a starly and train it.
