Strategy & play
How Chandelure plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Inflicts Burn — 20 damage between turns, then a coin flip to clear it. Chip damage with a coin-flip tail.
- Inflicts Confusion — they must flip to attack (tails fails and deals 30 to themselves). Soft, coin-flip disruption.
- Its main attack (Eerie Glow) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Psychic Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Psychic type, weak to Darkness ×2 — a Darkness attacker doing ≥65 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Chandelure
- Exploit its Darkness weakness — ≥65 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Chandelure is real?
Chandelure is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
