Chandelure in Pokemon Champions: Stats, Best Moveset, Mega & How to Get

Chandelure is one of the scariest special attackers in Pokemon Champions. A monstrous 145 Special Attack on a Ghost/Fire frame hits almost everything for heavy damage, and its Mega Evolution pushes that to a frightening 175 while adding bulk. With access to both Trick Room and an offensive spread game, it slots into multiple archetypes. This guide covers Chandelure's stats, type matchups, best moves, an SP spread, its role in Regulation M-A doubles, and how to get it.

Base Stats

Chandelure's headline number is 145 Special Attack, paired with even 90/90 defenses and 80 Speed. Mega Chandelure raises Special Attack to a terrifying 175 and bumps both defenses to 110, turning a glass cannon into a far sturdier wallbreaker while keeping the same Ghost/Fire typing. The 80–90 Speed sits in the awkward midrange, which is why both forms appreciate either Trick Room support or Tailwind.

Abilities

  • Flash Fire (Chandelure) — Fire moves do nothing to it and instead boost its own Fire damage by 50%. In doubles a partner can even fire a Fire move at it for a free boost, and it walls opposing Fire attackers cleanly.
  • Flame Body (Chandelure) — a 30% chance to burn on contact; useful chip against physical attackers.
  • Infiltrator (Chandelure and Mega Chandelure) — ignores screens, Substitute, and the Safeguard/Mist family, so its attacks land at full power through Light Screen and Reflect. This is the Mega's only ability and a strong fit for an offensive piece.

Best Moveset

Chandelure's coverage is excellent and it can build for both speed control archetypes. The standout sets for Regulation M-A doubles are:

Trick Room wallbreaker

  • Trick Room — at 80 Speed Chandelure is slow enough to benefit, then nukes the field.
  • Heat Wave — spread Fire STAB that hits both opponents.
  • Shadow Ball — single-target Ghost STAB and coverage for other Ghosts.
  • Energy Ball or Psychic — coverage for the bulky Water/Ground and Poison/Fighting types that resist its STABs.

Offensive support attacker

  • Flamethrower / Fire Blast — single-target Fire STAB; Fire Blast for raw power.
  • Will-O-Wisp — cripple a physical attacker before it moves.
  • Calm Mind — snowball its already-enormous Special Attack.
  • Protect — doubles staple for scouting and safety.

Other notable options include Dark Pulse, Poltergeist, Haze to undo enemy boosts, Taunt, and Tera Blast.

Suggested SP Spread

With the Champions SP system (66 points, max 32 per stat), Mega Chandelure wants to lean on its already-huge Special Attack while shoring up bulk: max Special Attack, then HP, with a Stat Alignment that boosts Special Attack or a defense and dumps the unused physical Attack. A Trick Room build can skip Speed entirely; a Tailwind build invests a little to make the doubling count. Set the final Level 50 numbers in the PikaChampions team builder.

Competitive Role in Regulation M-A

Chandelure is a premier special wallbreaker whose job is to delete bulky targets that wall lesser attackers. Mega Chandelure's 175 Special Attack and Infiltrator combine to punch through screens, Substitutes, and Light Screen cores that normally blunt offense — there is no hiding behind a wall against it. The Ghost/Fire typing gives it valuable immunities to Normal and Fighting plus resistances to Bug, Steel, Fairy, Grass, and Ice, letting it switch into a wide range of attacks. Its 80–90 Speed is its only real limitation, which is why it shines most on Trick Room teams (where it leads the charge) or behind Tailwind support. Pair it with redirection so it can fire its nukes safely and it becomes a game-ending threat.

Evolution Line

Litwick → Lampent (Level 41) → Chandelure (use a Dusk Stone). Chandelure Mega Evolves by holding its Mega Stone (Chandelurite).

How to Get Chandelure in Pokemon Champions

  • Evolve Litwick — raise Litwick to Lampent at Level 41, then use a Dusk Stone on Lampent to get Chandelure.
  • Roster Ranch recruitment — available during the Regulation M-A season (around April–June 2026); permanently recruitable with Teammate Tickets.
  • Transfer via Pokemon HOME — move a Chandelure from another title into Pokemon Champions.
