Card 017White Flare #17 Pokémon Card

Lampent is a Ghost/Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, evolving from Litwick at level 41 and then into Chandelure when exposed to a Dusk Stone. Known as the Lamp Pokémon, its body resembles an antique street lamp, glowing with an eerie purple flame. According to Pokédex entries, Lampent wanders through cities and hospitals, searching for the spirits of the recently deceased, which it then absorbs. This macabre behavior makes it a feared and often avoided Pokémon. Its natural habitat is typically found in urban areas, particularly around places where human spirits might linger. In the games, it is valued for its high Special Attack stat, making it a potent offensive force. In the anime, Lampent often appears in episodes with a spooky or mysterious theme, further cementing its reputation as a spectral entity. Its evolution line, starting from the small candle Litwick, through the lamp Lampent, to the chandelier Chandelure, showcases a progression of objects that provide light, ironically for a Pokémon that thrives in darkness and preys on spirits. This unique concept contributes to its cultural significance among Pokémon fans.
