Moveset | ・
Overheat
・ Shadow Ball ・ Energy Ball ・ Trick |
Tied with Vikavolt for the highest non-Legendary Special Attack stat. Has access to Tera Grass and Flash Fire combo. Can bypass screens with Infiltrator. |
Ability | Held Item | |
---|---|---|
Flash Fire or Infiltrator | Choice Scarf |
Chandelure can use either Flash Fire or Infiltrator as its ability.
Flash Fire allows Chandelure to become immune to Fire-type moves, except for when it is disabled by abilities like Mold Breaker from Hearthflame Ogerpon.
Infiltrator allows for Chandelure to bypass the damage reduction from the moves Light Screen and Aurora Veil.
The item for Chandelure however will always be Choice Scarf. This will allow Chandelure to get quick knockouts with its monstrous Special Attack stat.
Overheat | Shadow Ball |
Energy Ball | Trick |
Overheat is its strongest Fire-type STAB move with its downsides being that it has 90% accuracy and will reduce Chandelure's Special Attack by two stages.
Shadow Ball is its most consistent Ghost-type STAB move that can also reduce the target's Special Defense by one stage.
Energy Ball allow Chandelure to hit opposing Ground, Rock and Water-types that normally threaten it.
Trick lets Chandelure get rid of its Choice Scarf and lock a Pokemon into the last move they used.
Grass Tera Type Matchup | ||
---|---|---|
Weak to: | ||
(2x) | ||
Damaged Normally By: |
(1x) | |
Resists: | (0.5x) | |
Grass is the best Tera Type for this build because Chandelure will become resistant to Ground and Water-type attacks.
If Chandelure has the Flash Fire ability, then it will be immune to Fire-type attacks which is normally Grass' main weakness.
Best Grass Type Pokemon for Ranked Battle
A full 252 EVs are put into Chandelure's Special Attack and Speed to make it hit as hard and fast as possible. The extra 4 EVs are put into its HP to help round out its bulk.
A Timid nature is preferred to further increase Chandelure's Speed stat and help it outspeed Pokemon with its Choice Scarf.
Fire Blast | Is less accurate and does slightly less damage than Overheat, but it won't drop Chanedulre's Sp. Atk by two stages. |
---|---|
Flamethrower | Does less damage overall, but is fully accurate and doesn't have any downsides. |
Hex | Better option over Shadow Ball if Chandelure has teammates that can guarantee status effects on the opposing team. |
Damage Dealt by Chandelure |
|

Item: Leftovers | Overheat 210-248 (108.2 - 127.8%) Guaranteed OHKO |
Item: Booster Energy | Shadow Ball 116-138 (89.2 - 106.1%) 31.3% Chance to OHKO |
Item: Leftovers | Energy Ball 236-278 (107.2 - 126.3%) Guaranteed OHKO |
Item: Hearthflame Mask | Overheat 126-148 (81.2 - 95.4%) Guaranteed 2HKO Shadow Ball 76-91 (49 - 58.7%) 98.8% Chance to 2HKO |
Game8's Competitive Damage Calculator
With the combination of a Choice Scarf and its base 145 Special Attack, it would be difficult for a Pokemon to survive an attack from Chandelure unless it resists it.
Use a hyper-offense team that has Pokemon that can complement Chandelure's offensive pressure.
Physical Attacker | Special Attacker | Special Attacker |
---|---|---|
Ogerpon (Cornerstone Mask) | Chandelure | Iron Bundle |
This trio of Pokemon have a strong offensive core that not a lot of teams can easily deal with.
Cornerstone Ogerpon is an ideal lead for this team thanks to the combination of its ability Sturdy and its offensive Grass/Rock typing, while Iron Bundle is brought because of its ability to threaten a lot of Pokemon with its blinding speed and Hydro Pump + Freeze-Dry coverage.
