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

Biology

Physiology

Chandelure is a black and purple Pokémon that resembles a ghostly chandelier. It possesses a large round glass head containing blazing purple flames which flare out from the top, and multiple arms tipped with purple flames extending out from its base. It has two black arms with two candle-like extensions sprouting from each arm. Its mouth area consists of black stitch-like designs, and it has two large circular gleaming yellow eyes.

Behavior

Legend claims that this Pokémon absorbs and burns spirits to fuel its ethereal flame by hypnosis the prey with its shaking arms. However, Chandelure appears to be a very loyal and safe Pokémon when owned by an experienced trainer.

Evolution

Chandelure is the final Evolution of Litwick, and evolves from Lampent, at any level, with the use of a Dusk Stone.

Anime

Ash, Cilan and Iris levitated by Chandelure — Ingo's Chandelure in the anime.

Subway Boss Ingo owns a Chandelure, while his twin brother, Subway Boss Emmet owns an Eelektross. Ingo's Chandelure helped to thwart Team Rocket's scheme in Battle for the Underground!. It later appeared once more in Lost at the Stamp Rally! where Ingo used it to battle alongside Emmet's Eelektross against Ash's Tepig and Cilan's Pansage in a Battle Subway double battle. Ingo's Chandelure and Emmet's Eelektross, being powerful and fully-evolved, defeated Ash and Cilan's Pokémon and won the battle.

Origin

Chandelure is based on a haunted chandelier. The flames of this Pokémon's line are a play on the depiction of ghosts/spirits appearing as ghastly flames/lights in Japanese culture, and possibly the legend of the will-o'-the-wisp.

Etymology

Chandelure's name is a combination of the words "chandelier" and "lure", as it is what the Pokémon's appearance is based on and that this Pokémon uses its mysterious otherworldly flames to lure people away.
