Chandelure

Chandelure in the games: a Unova line finished by a Dusk Stone

Chandelure is the third stage of the Litwick line. Litwick becomes Lampent by leveling up from level 41, but Lampent never evolves on its own: it needs a Dusk Stone, the same stone that finishes the Misdreavus and Doublade lines. All three stages share the Ghost and Fire typing, and Chandelure stands 1.0 meter tall at 34.3 kilograms.

Its standard abilities are Flash Fire, which absorbs Fire attacks and powers up its own Fire moves, and Flame Body, which can burn an attacker that touches it. The hidden ability Infiltrator lets its moves slip past screens and Substitute. Pokémon Legends: Z-A gave it a Mega Evolution, Mega Chandelure, which keeps the Ghost and Fire typing and turns its single lamp into a two-tiered chandelier.

Shauntal's ace and Ingo's partner

In Pokémon Black and White, Chandelure is the highest-level Pokémon on the team of Shauntal, the Ghost-type specialist of the Unova Elite Four, and she is drawn carrying a notebook decorated with a Chandelure design. In the anime it debuted in Battle for the Underground! as the Pokémon of Subway Boss Ingo, helping Ash, Iris and Cilan recover Pokémon stolen by Team Rocket.
