Yesterday was the alien Beheeyem line, today will be about the possessed fire ornaments Litwick, Lampent, and Chandelure.
My thoughts: Say hello to what is arguably Gen 5's most iconic non-legend Pokemon. Atleast according to Japan where it scored no. 1 on their top 100 favorite Gen 5 Pokes back then. Hey it's still so popular that it got a spot in Pokkén as a playable.
It's no surprise that Chandelure is popular, with its awesome design and stats. Unfortunately there are still a few out their that scorn this kickass ghost chandelier with
>m-muh item based Pokemon is uncreative.
Okay, two things in the defense of this line:
1. Even for an item based Pokemon, the Chandelure line has got to have one of the most aesthetically gorgeous designs of them all.
>Cool gothic/Halloween motif
>Purple flames represent the Ghost and Fire type equally well.
>Cute faces that nearly anyone would be hard pressed to hate.
2. One of the best excuses for the existence of item based Pokemon is that they are possessed by spirits/ghosts or other supernatural creatures, and this ties into the concept behind these Pokemon. From Bulbapedia:
>Chandelure is based on a hitodama (a blue, black, or purple-fire associated with ghosts and yōkai, equivalent to the western will-o'-the-wisp)
So yeah, flame ghost possessing a household item gives it life. It's so much more than "shaping a face on an inanimate object".
Overall, one of the best Ghost types in the franchise. Great design and great use in competitive.
I WANT TO MARRY CHANDELURE

I used to hate them, but after looking at their stats, movepool and even some of the though behind the line, I think they're my favourite ghost types after sableye
i thought it was shit at first because of its speed, then i remembered trick room is a thing
I have no idea why are you strawmaning, but whatever.
He's cool.
>Chandelure will be a top tier threat when the inevitable Mega is released
The perks of being a popular Pokemon are wonderful
