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.

  1. A strength

    It has an Ability, Exploding Needles. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. A strength

    Mega Chandelure ex runs it in 26 of the 61 lists we have read, seen across 26 different tournaments.

  3. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,384 tournament lists we have read, 1,241 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
