Pokémon Unite Chandelure Gameplay Tips
Our Pokémon Unite Chandelure guide includes the perfect game plan for the early and late games during Unite battles.
Early Game
Litwick can burn enemies and slow them down, early in the game. Litwick can squeeze out damage early game with Ember. This move allows it to burn an enemy it hits while also slowing them down. Farm Wild Pokemon quickly and burn enemy Pokemon that try to score in the allied goal during the early game so that they can’t score actually. The other early move, Night Shade lets Litwick mark enemies and deal boosted attack damage with Ember and standard attacks. Utilize this move to farm Wild Pokemon and get to level 5 (evolve into Lampent) quickly by marking enemies first, then setting them in a burned state with Ember.
Here’s an early game combo to try out: first, mark the target with Night Shade, then follow up with a Standard or Boosted Attack to stun it. While the target is stunned, quickly use Ember twice to deal burst damage.
Late Game
Utilizing the damage dealt by Flamethrower 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. Overheat is a sure-hit move that also synergizes well with Poltergeist or Imprison as both moves hinder enemy movement. Utilize this move to quickly secure objectives on the top and bottom lane.
Poltergeist is a move that summons a zone with floating pieces of furniture and traps enemies inside. This move is useful for chasing down isolated targets and opening up ganking opportunities for allies.
You may also opt for Imprison to temporarily disable enemies from using their abilities while slowing them down. Use this move to throw off enemy Pokemon that require positioning or timing their moves.
Chandelure’s Unite Move Ignite Midnight dims its enemies’ vision on the first activation, then fires a beam toward a designated direction. This move is best used when securing objectives, or during Rayquaza spawn team fights. Hinder enemies from their setups, position Chandelure in an area where it can hit enemies the most, during such objective fights. Here is a combo to try the late game: Start by activating Ignite Midnight to obscure the target’s vision. Lay down Imprison/ Poltergeist, then immediately follow up with Flamethrower at max range. Finish the combo with Ignite Midnight’s second attack. Try this without the Ignite Midnight too, for another combo.
Positioning of Chandelure
The best place for Chandcelure to be is, in the Bottom lane, at least while it is still Litwick or Lampent. The priority should be to fully evolve into Chandelure, with 5 or 6 minutes remaining.
Chandelure with other Pokémon
Our Pokémon Unite guide will also look at the combination of Chandelure with other Pokémon during Unite battles.
Best Synergies with Chandelure
| Pokémon | Synergy Benefits |

This Pokemon also provides hard crowd control that shuts down targets, allowing Chandelure to deal damage to enemies. |
| Mr. Mime | The crowd-control and healing moves of this Supporter synergize well with Chandelure. |

Pokémon Unite Chandelure Guide: Tips, Tricks, and Strategies
This guide will also discuss some tips and tricks for playing the Attacker Chandelure in Pokémon Unite.
- With the Emblem Builds, try to increase the Sp. Atk. stats over everything.
- Take caution in facing Pokemon like Decidueye, Cramorant, and Venusaur, as a couple of shots of their moves can still overwhelm Chandelure. So make sure that you make your moves count and get the first strike whenever possible.
- Don’t initiate team fights. Get involved in teamfights from a distance.
- Disrupt enemy’s move setups with Imprison/ Poltergeist.
- When active, Infiltrator (Passive) allows Chandelure to partially ignore its enemy’s Sp. Defense. Utilize this ability by equipping held items like Slick Spoon to boost its effectiveness.
- Pair up with defenders and relevant Supporters for the duration of the match. Don’t take things into your own hands.
- Lastly, players must avoid using it much in Ranked Matches until they master all of its moves and playing style. They should use offline mode or Standard Battles as their Practice Arena.
