Mega Chandelure ex
Mega Chandelure ex arrived with Pitch Black on 17 July 2026. Here is what it does once it is on the table, and what it is worth right now.

What to make of it
Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.
WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT
- 350 HP. Only 1 cards in Pitch Black carry more.
- It has an Ability, Binding Flame. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
- Mega Chandelure ex runs it in 33 of the 33 lists we have read, seen across 30 different tournaments.
- Mark J. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- It is a Mega Evolution ex, and that is the most expensive rule in the game. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 3 Prizes instead of one. They need six to win, so 2 knockouts on this card are enough. Send it out knowing that.
- It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Lampent to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
- Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,150 tournament lists we have read, 1,897 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
What it costs

Where to find it
You've just read a page about the game. We can do far more with one match.
Everything above is about the game in general. The thing we're really good at is one single match: yours. When a game ends, Pokémon TCG Live leaves you a log — the written record of everything that happened, turn by turn. Paste it here and we'll replay each of your decisions hundreds of times, then tell you which one actually cost you the game.
It's free and there's no account to make. Your log stays in your browser: your browser is what replays the game.
