Chandelure Evolutions
Chandelure doesn't evolve through normal leveling. You'll need an evolution item to get here from Litwick's line. Breed this form to get Litwick eggs (average hatch time). Evolving from Litwick gave Chandelure the biggest boost in Sp.Atk (+80), bringing the total to 520 stats. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Chandelure to get Litwick eggs easily using 52 partners from the Indeterminate egg group. Notable egg moves include Acid, Acid Armor, Captivate and 5 more.
USUM Chandelure Best Moveset
145 Sp. Atk is one of the highest non-legendary stats in the format. Ghost/Fire TermStab from that power devastates anything that does not resist both. AbilityInfiltrator bypasses screens and substitutes as a hidden ability. AbilityFlash Fire absorbs Fire for a boost. But 80 Speed falls just short of key benchmarks. The moveset holds A-tier through raw special power.

Moves List
Don't skip the egg moves. Chandelure picks up Acid and Acid Armor only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Overheat and Fire Blast while Poison and Dark coverage and more adds range.

Chandelure Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Don't let Chandelure's 520 base stat total fool you. Flash Fire is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it B-Tier as a cannon. Shadow Ball with Choice Scarf is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Starmie (Water), Excadrill (Ground), and Aerodactyl (Rock) when using Chandelure. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Ghost and Dark-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Run Flash Fire on Chandelure. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Chandelure also gets Flame Body and Infiltrator, but they don't compare.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Chandelure fills the cannon role. It's a special attacker with base 145 Sp. Atk. Base 80 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Shadow Ball, Flamethrower, Energy Ball, and Will O Wisp on Chandelure. Shadow Ball is the most common pick at 0% usage. Flamethrower provides reliable STAB damage.
Game Availability
Introduced in Black & White, Chandelure has appeared in 9 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
