Gengar, Gengar everywhere.. want to use a different Ghost-Type pokemon? Something that can catch people off-guard? Try Chandelure! The fire lantern truly deserves more recognition in the OU metagame as it deals a lot of damage to most Pokémon and can also use two useful abilities to find its niche among top-tier Pokémon like Landorus-Therian, Magearna or Greninja.
Chandelure @ Choice Specs
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
- Trick
The Choice Specs-set makes use of Chandelure's incredibly high special attack and it's strong STAB-moves with nearly perfect coverage. Energy Ball is used as a coverage-move to hit Water-types who attempt to wall the Pokemon introduced in Generation 5. With Trick you can cripple defensive Pokemon like Chansey, Toxapex or Mantine, but be aware of the fact that u also lose much power by doing so. The Ability Flash Fire allows Chandelure to come in on Mega-Charizard Y and get a second immunity in general. As another option Infiltrator is a good choice to catch Aurora Veil-teams off-guard as it goes through the screens and can deal massive damage with its STAB-moves.
Besides being a very good wallbreaker, Chandelure also struggles with some things, mainly its Weakness to Stealth Rocks, but also it's underwhelming speed combined with low bulk which is the main reason why it's not one of the shining stars in the OverUsed-Tier.
