Chandelure (Japanese: シャンデラ Chandela) is a dual-type Ghost/Fire Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Lampent when exposed to a Dusk Stone. It is the final form of Litwick.

Contents

Biology

Chandelure is a Pokémon that resembles a sentient chandelier. It has a striped, round head, and round, pupil-less yellow eyes. There is a ring of small, black spikes on top of its head with a tall, purple flame in the middle. From a black spike below its head, black arms curl upward. These arms are tipped with purple fire.

Chandelure's fires do not burn its victims physically, instead burning their spirit. After hypnotizing its opponent by waving these flames, it absorbs the victim's spirit. Chandelure is known to reside in dilapidated mansions. There is a saying where funerals were a constant occurrence in homes where Chandelure resides.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Chandelure appears in the 3DS version as an enemy in Smash Run mode. It will use Will-O-Wisp and Fire Spin to attack. As an homage to its Flash Fire ability, it absorbs fire- and darkness-based attacks and items to power itself up.

Trophy information

NA: A Ghost/Fire-type Pokémon that burns its opponents' spirits instead of their bodies. When it attacks, it does so in bursts of three, using moves like Will-O-Wisp and Fire Spin. Try not to use fire-based attacks or items on it, as it will only absorb them and use them to strengthen itself.

PAL: A Ghost- and Fire-type Pokémon that doesn't burn its opponents' bodies, but their spirits. When it attacks, it does so in bursts of three, using moves like Will-O-Wisp and Fire Spin. Try not to use fire-based attacks or items on it, as it will only absorb them and use them to strengthen itself.

Pokkén Tournament

Main article: Chandelure (Pokkén Tournament)
