Chandelure ( ), known in Japan as , is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. Designed by Ken Sugimori, they were introduced in the video games Pokémon Black and White. Chandelure is the evolved form of Lampent and the final evolution of Litwick. Since their initial appearance, they have appeared in multiple games including Pokkén Tournament and Pokémon Unite. Classified as both a Ghost and Fire-type Pokémon, Chandelure typically gives off the appearance of a ghostly chandelier with large, round eyes, a stitched mouth, purple flames, and swingable arms. Their rarer "shiny" form has orange instead of purple flames, that make it like a real chandelier, which the Pokémon is based on. In-game entries suggest that Chandelure is capable of using their flames to hypnotize and/or burn the spirits of opponents, cursing them to wander aimlessly. The overall reception of Chandelure is mixed despite being considered a "fan-favorite" Pokémon. Critics state that the Litwick family line is uncreative because they take the form of inanimate objects, using criticisms also applied to other "object-based" Pokémon like Klefki. Supporters argue that Chandelure is amongst the most popular Pokémon, citing that its design is not comparable to other object Pokémon.…

Supporters argue that Chandelure is amongst the most popular Pokémon, citing that its design is not comparable to other object Pokémon. Many of them consider it to be powerful gameplay-wise and praise its "cute" exterior and creepiness factor based on in-game entries of it. Its reveal in Pokkén Tournament as a playable character came as a surprise to many fans, but upon release of the game, it received positive receptions for its in-game potential despite not taking a traditional humanoid form typical of fighting games.
