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.

Biology

Physiology

Chandelure is a chandelier-like Pokémon with a striped, round head, round, pupil-less yellow eyes, and small black spikes atop its head from which a tall purple flame flares. It has a black spike below its head, with curling black lamp-holding structures from below its head keeping purple flames at their tips.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

The swaying of the fire on Chandelure's arms hypnotizes its opponents. Chandelure can suck out the soul of a person, leaving only an empty shell of a body.

Behavior

Chandelure burns the souls it sucks out.

Trivia

• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Chandelure and its evolutionary relatives.
• Chandelure has the highest Special Attack of all non-legendary Pokémon and of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
• Despite hovering, it does not have the ability Levitate.
• Despite its Black Pokédex entry, it cannot learn Hypnosis.
  • Due to this, it is unable to make use of Dream Eater on its own, which it can learn through TM.

Origin

Chandelure is a combination of Hitodama (a blue, black, or purple-fire associated with ghosts and yōkai, equivalent to the western will-o'-the-wisp) and a chandelier.

Name origin

Chandelure is most likely a combination of chandelier and lure or allure. Shandera is a corruption of chandelier.
