It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Lampent}} starting at [[level]] 41, which evolves into {{p|Chandelure}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Dusk Stone}}.

Litwick is a small, candle-like Pokémon with a purple flame atop its head, which is powered by life energy that it absorbs. Its body and two stubby arms are made of primarily of white wax. The folded, melted wax lays over its right eye, and leaves only the bright yellow left eye visible. It has a small smile under a protruding upper lip. Litwick pretends to guide people and Pokémon around by illuminating darkened areas. However, it is actually sucking away their life energy and leading them to the Ghost World. [[BW026|In the anime]], the flame is shown to grow as it continually absorbs life energy.

A group of Litwick appeared in ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'' where they, along with a {{p|Lampent}} tried to take {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}} to the [[Ghost World]].

A Litwick made an appearance in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'', where a real Litwick was mixed up with candles designed after them.

Multiple Litwick appeared in the Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures short ''{{DL|Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures|In the Dark}}''.

A wild Litwick appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. This Litwick was seen as one of the Pokémon at [[Nebel Plateau]].

A Trainer's Litwick appeared in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]''.

Litwick appears in ''[[PS478|Big City Battles]]'' under the ownership of {{adv|Bianca}}. It was kidnapped by [[Team Plasma]] but saved after {{adv|Black}}, {{adv|White}}, [[Iris]] and [[Burgh]], located Team Plasma's hideout in [[Castelia City]] with the help of Black's [[Nite|Pignite]].

[[Monta]] owns a Litwick, which succeeded in weakening a wild {{p|Kyurem}} enough for Monta to be able to capture it.

* Litwick, along with {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Torkoal}}, and [[Mega Camerupt]], has the lowest {{stat|Speed}} base stat of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

Litwick is a combination of {{wp|hitodama}} (a blue, black, or purple-fire associated with ghosts and {{wp|yōkai}}, equivalent to the western {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}) and a {{wp|candle}}. It may also be based on the cliché of ghostly floating candles.
