Biology
Chandelure is a Pokémon that looks like a living chandelier. It has a striped circular head and round yellow eyes with no pupils. On top of its head is a ring of tiny, black spikes with a towering, purple flame in the center. Black arms curve upward from a black spike under its skull. Purple fire is tipped on their arms.
Chandelure’s flames do not literally burn their victims; rather, they burn the victim’s psyche. It absorbs the victim’s spirit after hypnotizing its opponent with these flames. Any spirits that are burnt by Chandelure’s flames are thought to lose their direction and are doomed to roam the mortal realm forever. Chandelure is renowned to live in dilapidated mansions. Funerals, it is said, were a common event for individuals who lived in houses lighted by Chandelure instead of lights.
