There are two ways and corresponding locations to catch Chimchar is Pokemon Go. For the first method, players will have to use lures that can be purchased directly from Pokemon Go's in-game store or received as rewards for completing certain research tasks. Installing a lure at a PokeStop will attract Chimchar to the PokeStop and it can then be captured by a player. However, lures also attract other Pokemons including Piplup, Chespin, Fennekin, Cyndaquil and Todolite. During the 5th anniversary Pokemon Go event, a lure will last up to one hour, giving players enough time to capture a Chimchar.

The second way of catching Chimchar in Pokemon Go is by competing in a specific event field research task which is available at PokeStop. However, a player might have to spin multiple PokeStops before the specific task for obtaining a Chimchar shows up. The event field research task required is called 'Make five great throws'. After completing the task, the players will get a chance to encounter one of the following Pokemon: Piplup, Turtwig or Chimchar. However, the selection of Pokemon for the encounter is not in the hands of a player, and hence a player might have to complete multiple tasks to encounter Chimchar.
