Ghostly groups of Litwick will be wafting around the land! If you’re lucky, one or two may be shiny for you!

Evolve your Litwick or Lampent all the way to Chandelure during event hours or up to five hours after to make sure it knows the Community Day exclusive move, Poltergeist!

Spotlight on Litwick

We have, of course, covered the Litwick family in one of our Unova Pokemon Bestiaries!

Check out our full breakdown of Chandelure Here! Of course, your main differences between then and now are the CP upgrade since the Level 50 increase, so, your new stats look like this:

Max CP of 3695, Attack 271, Defense 182, Stamina 155
Fast Attacks: Hex (STAB), Fire Spin (STAB) and Incinerate (STAB)
Charged Attacks: Energy Ball, Overheat (STAB), Flame Charge (STAB) and Shadow Ball (STAB) with the new Community Day move, Poltergeist (STAB)

Shiny Litwick is very, very hard to differentiate from the regular version – the flame on top becomes a more blue hue vs the regular purple and the eyes go green instead of yellow. These are very minor pallet shifts so please be careful when Shiny hunting as if you don’t notice the sparkles, they could be easy to pass over!

That’s all I have for you this month, Trainers! Have fun out there, be safe and as always, I wish you the best of luck!
