In homes illuminated by Chandelure instead of lights, funerals were a constant occurrence— or so it’s said.
Shield
This Pokémon haunts dilapidated mansions. It sways its arms to hypnotize opponents with the ominous dancing of its flames.
Sword
The spirits burned up in its ominous flame lose their way and wander this world forever.
Black 2 · White 2 · Y · Alpha Sapphire
Being consumed in Chandelure’s flame burns up the spirit, leaving the body behind.
White · X · Omega Ruby
It absorbs a spirit, which it then burns. By waving the flames on its arms, it puts its foes into a hypnotic trance.
