LampentSteam Siege #49 Pokémon Card

Lampent is a Ghost/Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It evolves from Litwick at level 41 and further evolves into Chandelure when exposed to a Dusk Stone. Known as the Lamp Pokémon, Lampent is often found in urban areas, particularly around hospitals and battlefields, where it is said to wait for people to die so it can absorb their departing spirits. Its Pokédex entries consistently highlight its macabre nature, describing it as a guide for spirits to the afterlife, or sometimes, as a mischievous entity that siphons life force. In the anime, Lampent has made appearances alongside trainers and as wild Pokémon in haunted locations, often contributing to eerie atmospheres. Its evolutionary line, particularly Chandelure, is popular among fans for its unique design and powerful special attack stats in the games. As a Ghost-type, it is strong against Psychic and Ghost types, but weak to Ghost and Dark moves. As a Fire-type, it is strong against Grass, Ice, Bug, and Steel, but weak to Water, Ground, and Rock. Its role in the games is primarily as a special attacker, while in the anime and manga, it often serves to emphasize themes of the supernatural and the transition between life and death.
