Mega Chandelure Moves
Moves List
Without TMs, Mega Chandelure's movepool is bare bones. With them, you get Poison and Dark coverage and more on top of Overheat and Flare Blitz for STAB. The natural kit handles basics, but TMs are doing the real work.

Mega Chandelure Weakness
Water, Ground, Rock, Ghost, and Dark moves hit Mega Chandelure for super-effective damage. The upside? Normal and Fighting-type moves can't touch it at all. 7 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Mega Chandelure's overall bulk (60/110/110) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Water, Ground, Rock, Ghost, Dark |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Grass, Ice, Poison, Steel, Fairy |
| 0.25x (Resist) | Bug |
