===Physiology===
⚫
In [[BW029]] A group of Litwick appeared where they, along with a [[Lampent]] tried to attack Ash and friends, [[Jessie]], [[File:Litwick anime.png|thumb|A Litwick in BW 029]][[James]] and [[Team Rocket's Meowth|Meowth]]. When Team Rocket sought to make the abandoned mansion the Litwck inhabited into their Unova headquarters, the Litwick decided to play them for the fools they are and suck out their life force to keep their candles burning. However, they were stopped.

Litwick seems to be based upon a lit candle. It is white and cylindrical in shape with small yellow eyes, one of which is hidden by what appears to be a flap of melted wax; the drooping wax covers and encircles the top of Litwick's head. It has small stubby hands and a small grinning mouth that appear to be drips of wax. Due to its Ghost typing, Litwick's ethereal body is incapable of melting. The flame on its head is of purple color and has supernatural qualities.

  +
===Behavior===
  +
As a {{type|Ghost}} type Pokémon, Litwick tend to be mischievous. It tends to live in old mansions and dilapidated places. It lures people and Pokémon with its mysterious purple flame, only to later trick and frighten them.

In BW029 A group of Litwick appeared where they, along with a Lampent tried to attack Ash and friends, Jessie, James and Meowth.

However, they were stopped.
