Lampent Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
At 370 BST, Lampent is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Chandelure before bringing it to any serious fight.
Lampent gets Flash Fire, Flame Body, and Infiltrator. But Flash Fire is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Lampent is a special attacker with base 95 Sp. Atk. Speed tells the real story. At base 55 Speed, it won't be moving first often.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, For a casual playthrough, Lampent works as a placeholder. Ghost/Fire coverage is useful early. The real payoff is Chandelure. That's where the stats start mattering.
