Chandelure Deck Strategy Guide

Waste Your Opponent's Turns with Meowth

Meowth is a great Pokemon for stalling because of its Carefree Steps Ability, which is capable of invalidating an opponent's Attack for the turn. Having Meowth be in the Active Spot while you use a Supporter every turn can help set up KOs for Chandelure later in the game.

Aim to Use a Supporter Every Turn

Chandelure's Past Friends gets more powerful the longer the game draws out. Aim to use a Supporter every turn to fuel its damage output.

How to Beat Chandelure Decks

Win Before Getting Overwhelmed by Chandelure

Having Pokemon that are capable of OHKOing Meowth and Chandelure can ensure that your turns aren't wasted. Try to score KOs before your Pokemon are in range of getting knocked out by Past Friends.
