It is the final evolution of Litwick, evolving from Lampent when exposed to a Dusk Stone. This spectral chandelier is known for its eerie yet elegant appearance, often found in old mansions or abandoned hospitals, where it preys on the spirits of the deceased.

In the anime, it has appeared under the ownership of characters like Shauna and Malva, showcasing its powerful fire and ghost-type moves. Its unique type combination gives it resistances to Poison, Bug, Steel, Fire, Grass, and Ice, but leaves it vulnerable to Water, Ground, Rock, Ghost, and Dark attacks.

Its role in the games often involves being a strong special attacker, capable of inflicting significant damage with its high Special Attack stat.
