>>34076700Chandelure's incredibly high Special Attack, great offensive dual typing in Ghost / Fire, and spammable STAB moves let it tear apart common defensive cores with relative ease. On the flipside, Chandelure's average defensive stats prevent it from providing too much defensive utility outside of being one of the best offensive Mega Charizard Y switch-ins thanks to its typing and Flash Fire ability. While Chandelure's Speed stat is decent enough to outpace most passive Pokemon like Celesteela and Toxapex, it falls short against some of the faster threats such as Landorus-T and Zygarde, which can scare it out with their STAB moves. Its Ghost typing, while great offensively, leaves it vulnerable to Pursuit trapping from Tyranitar and Weavile, though the former has to be healthy enough to take an Energy Ball in order to trap it. As an offensive Ghost-type, it faces stiff competition from Gengar, due to its higher Speed stat and coverage. Finally, an annoying Stealth Rock weakness prevents it from pivoting into attacks if the entry hazard is active on the field.
it is literally only used because it cock blocks mega char Y
