CHANDELURE

PLACE IN THE META: Chandelure is one of the top additions for Raiding in Generation 5, despite it being a bit of a glass cannon. While their secondary typings differ, Chandelure is essentially a better version of Gengar. It has higher Attack and Defense, with equal Stamina. And, while it won't be the best, it will also be a good Fire-type attacker.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Chandelure:

• Fire Spin
• Hex

​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Chandelure:

• Dark Pulse
• Flamethrower
• Overheat
• Shadow Ball

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Chandelure's movepool:

• Pain Split

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Chandelure gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.

Thanks for reading, Trainers! The Haxorus line is up next!
