Mega Chandelure

Mega Chandelure is the team's primary win condition, with base 175 Special Attack surpassing Mega Gengar. Modest nature pushes that power further, trading Speed for damage in a team that provides its own speed control. Infiltrator lets Shadow Ball and Heat Wave pierce Reflect, Light Screen, and Aurora Veil, a rare edge against screen-based teams. Trick Room gives the team a second speed axis: Chandelure's middling base speed sits cleanly below Tailwind benchmarks and above Trick Room benchmarks simultaneously. Torkoal's Drought amplifies Heat Wave damage, making Chandelure a spread threat that punishes clustering and soft targets alike.
