LampentPlasma Storm #22 Pokémon Card

Lampent, the Lamp Pokémon, is a Ghost/Fire-type introduced in Generation V. It evolves from Litwick at level 41 and then into Chandelure when exposed to a Dusk Stone. Lampent's design is inspired by a street lamp, giving it an eerie yet intriguing appearance. In the Pokémon world, Lampent are known for their macabre habits. They are often found in hospitals, waiting for people to pass on, as they absorb the spirits of the recently deceased, which fuels their baleful fire. This dark aspect of their nature makes them one of the more unsettling Pokémon. Lampent typically inhabit old, abandoned buildings or dark forests, where they can lurk unseen. Their diet consists purely of spiritual energy, making them unique in their ecological niche. In the games, Lampent are often encountered in spooky locations like Celestial Tower. In the anime, they have been portrayed in various roles, sometimes as mischievous spirits and other times as more malevolent entities. Their evolution, Chandelure, is a popular choice in competitive battling due to its powerful special attack and unique typing, making Lampent a recognizable middle stage in a formidable evolutionary line.
