How do you catch a Charmander in Pokemon Pearl version?

Charmander doesn't appear in the wild in Pokémon Pearl unless you cheat or hack the game. To get a Charmander in Pokémon Pearl, beat the game and migrate one from Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire or Emerald, or get the National Pokédex and have a friend trade his/her Charmander.
