Overheat Build Explantion

Build Explanation
This build is centered on stunning enemies using Imprison, then bombarding them with Overheat, maximizing the move's damage output. However, Poltergeist can also work, slowing and damaging enemies in an area.
· Choice Specs gives Chandelure a decent amount of Sp. Atk. stat and increases the Pokemon's minimum move damage.
· Wise Glasses provides Chandelure with more Sp. Atk. thanks to its percentage bonus.
· Slick Spoon works nicely with Chandelure's Infiltrator ability. It also supplies HP and more Sp. Atk.
· However, Shell Bell can be a replacement for Slick Spoon, giving Chandelure a recovery tool.
· Energy Amplifier is also a good replacement for Slick Spoon, giving Chandelure more firepower when it activates Ignite Midnight.
· X Speed gives Chandelure the mobility it needs while using Overheat.
· The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Green Emblems for more damage and 4 White Emblems additional HP.
· Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk. to maximize Chandelure's damage output.
· Attack and Critical-Hit Rate can be freely traded for the other stats.

Since the build is centered on Overheat, equipping items that maximizes Chandelure's damage output is the ideal item combination.

As the results show, Choice Specs, Wise Glasses, and Slick Spoon will yield the best results considering Chandelure's limitations. The item combination does not require extra tasks to maximize the Pokemon's damage output.

Although the item combinations that have Sp. Atk. Specs included tend to produce the best results, the item isn't ideal for Chandelure since it will be too difficult for the Pokemon to fully stack it.

For alternatives, replacing Slick Spoon with Shell Bell would be the ideal choice. The item combination's results are just slightly lower than the recommended build, but it gives Chandelure a recovery tool.

On the other hand, for a more damage-oriented alternative, replacing Slick Spoon with Energy Amplifier would be the best option. The item combination produced the the second best results for Flamethrower and Ignite Midnight. However, this does require Chandelure to activate its unite move first.


These damage tests are conducted using the Training Dummy in Practice Mode. The results are taken from the Total Damage data.

Item Explanation
Energy Amplifier.pngEnergy Amplifier Energy Amplifier gives Chandelure a massive damage boost when it uses Ignite Midnight. It also interacts nicely with how the move works.
Wise Glasses.pngWise Glasses Wise Glasses works well with Chandelure's high Sp. Atk. stat. Its percentage bonus effect greatly boosts the Pokemon's damage.

List of Battle Items

Best Moveset

Move Explanation
Overheat ImageOverheat Overheat provides a more spammable means of damage during teamfights. Although how it works puts Chandelure in a potentially dangerous position, the Pokemon can still maneuver around when using the move.
Imprison ImageImprison Imprison not only stuns targets but also prevents them from using their moves. It also has a long range that is useful for chasing targets.

This moveset performs much better than its counterpart. Overheat has a significantly higher damage potential than Flamethrower, assuming all projectiles hit. Imprison's move-disabling effect and long range makes it incredibly effective during teamfights. It also provides better protection for Chandelure against aggressive opponents.

Choosing between Overheat and Flamethrower depends on whether a player prefers more damage or longer range. For more damge, Overheat would be the best option. For better range, Flamethrower is the ideal choice.

On the other hand, although Poltergeist and Imprison essentially have the same purpose, they have additional things to offer. Choose Poltergeist to deal additional damage on top of a slow. Choose Imprison for a stronger disabling move.

How to Play Chandelure

Jump to Section

Utilize Infiltrator to Knock Out Targets Quickly

Pokemon UNITE - Infiltrator Stacks

When active, Infiltrator allows Chandelure to partially ignore its enemy's Sp. Defense. Utilize this ability by equipping held items like Slick Spoon to boost its effectiveness.

Upon reaching level 5, Chandelure can learn either Flamethrower or Overheat as its upgraded damaging move and will be able to assist in pushing lanes from a safe distance.

Slow Down and Burn Enemies with Ember

Chandelure can squeeze out damage early game with Ember. This move allows Chandelure to burn an enemy it hits while also slowing them down. Farm Wild Pokemon quickly and burn enemy Pokemon that tries to score in the allied goal during early game.

Mark Enemies with Night Shade

Night Shade lets Chandelure mark enemies and deal boosted attack damage with Ember and standard attacks. Utilize this move to farm Wild Pokemon and get to level 5 quickly by marking enemies first, then setting them in a burned state with Ember.

Secure Objectives with Upgraded Damaging Moves

Pokemon UNITE - Upgraded Damaging Moves

Chandelure will be able to learn either Flamethrower or Overheat upon reaching level 5.

Choosing Overheat turns Chandelure into an aggressive AoE damage dealer that's perfect for diving in teamfights.
Choosing Flamethrower lets chandelure deal the most damage by staying as far away as possible and hit enemies with the explosion that goes out at maximum distance.

Both moves lets Chandelure deal huge amounts of damage, so make sure to choose the move that best suits your chosen build.

Burn Enemies with Flamethrower

Flamethrower is a powerful damaging move that lets Chandelure deal damage by firing a straight line of flames. This can be aimed anywhere, and targets that get hit will be afflicted with a Burn debuff.

Utilizing the damage dealt by this move requires proper positioning, since it deals the most damage by hitting enemy Pokemon with the follow-up explosion. An enemy that gets hit by Flamethrower's follow-up explosion gets increased damage, and grants Chandelure a temporary attack boost.

Deal Consecutive AoE Damage with Overheat

Overheat allows Chandelure to deal AoE damage consecutively at designated directions for 4 times. Using this move turns Chandelure into an aggressive and bursty ranged attacker at the cost of being unable to use standard attacks temporarily afterwards. This move is great for interrupting enemy setups or ambushing isolated enemies.

This move also synergizes well with Poltergeist or Imprison as both moves hinders enemy movement. Utilize this move to quickly secure objectives on the top and bottom lane.

Choose Hindrance Move Based on Playstyle

Pokemon UNITE - Upgraded Hindrance Moves

While securing objectives is part of an Attacker's resposibility, Chandelure will learn moves that hinders enemy movement and abilities by level 7.

Choose Poltergeist to summon a zone with floating furnitures and trap enemies inside. This move is useful for chasing down isolated targets and opening up ganking opportunites for allies.
Choose Imprison to temporarily disable enemies from using their abilities while slowing them down. Use this move to throw off enemy Pokemon that requires positioning or timing their moves.

Both moves have their own advantages, so choose the one that synergizes best with your chosen build.

Set Up Traps with Poltergeist

Chandelure is able to trap and slow its enemies down by using Potergeist. This move allows Chandelure to enclose targets in a zone filled with floating furnitures. It requires a bit of positioning and setting up, but this is a good support move that can help your allies escape safely from dangerous situations, or hinder enemy movement and open up ganking opportunities for your teammates.

Disable Enemy Abilities with Imprison

Imprison allows Chandelure to completely disable its opponents by releasing a dark zone in front of it. The first enemy to get hit is unable to use any of its abilities and can only deal standard attacks. Overwhelm melee-ranged enemies with this move and help your allies push lanes!

Unite Move Strategy

Chandelure's Unite Move Ignite Midnight dims its enemies' vision on the first activation, then fires a beam towards a designated direction. This move is best used when securing objectives, or during Rayquaza spawn teamfights. Hinder enemies from their setups, position Chandelure at an area where it can hit enemies the most.

Strike First

Alolan Ninetales Image Armarouge Image Cinderace Image Cramorant Image Decidueye Image Delphox Image Duraludon Image Espeon Image Gardevoir Image Glaceon Image Inteleon Image Mew Image Miraidon Image Pikachu Image Sylveon Image Venusaur Image
How to Beat
• Much like Chandelure, these Pokemon prefer to keep their distance from opponents when fighting. They also have high damage potential that can knock out Chandelure quickly. However, they are fragile and can get knocked out by Chandelure fast. Winning against these Pokemon is all a matter of striking first.
• When using Flamethrower, make sure to hit them at the tip of the move to deal increased damage and reduce the move's cooldown.
• When using Overheat, make sure to hit them with all projectiles, especially the final shot for maximum damage. Also, move around while using the move to avoid getting attacked.
• Lay down Poltergeist at their location to slow them, or use Imprison to prevent them from using their moves.
• If needed, use Ignite Midnight to limit their vision, then burst them down with the move's second activation.

Kite Them

All-Rounders
Azumarill Image Blaziken Image Buzzwole Image Charizard Image Metagross Image
How to Beat
• These Pokemon excel in close combat and rely mostly on their attacks or combos to deal damage. They are also durable enough to tank Chandelure's damage. However, they're melee and can be easily kited by Chandelure's long-ranged moves.
• Slow them using Poltergeist or prevent them from using their moves with Imprison, then kite them with Flamethrower or Overheat.
• As a last resort or when they get close, use Ignite Midnight to limit their vision and burst them down with the move's second activation.

Take Them Out First

Supporters
Blissey Image Clefable Image Sableye Image Wigglytuff Image
How to Beat
