Strategy Overview

Chandelure sports a high base 145 Special Attack, making it an optimal special wallbreaker. Chandelure also sports three immunities to some of the most common attacking types in the tier: Fighting, Fire, and Normal. This allows it to utilize an effective revenge-killing Choice Scarf set and a wallbreaking Choice Specs set. Unfortunately, poor base 60 HP lets its checks and counters easily revenge kill it. Additionally, Chandelure's subpar base 80 Speed means that anything with base 145 Speed or higher, such as Mega Aerodactyl, will outspeed and OHKO Choice Scarf Chandelure, and Chandelure's typing and lack of bulk makes it Pursuit bait.
