Lampent (Japanese: ランプラー Ranpuraa) is a Ghost/Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
Biology
Physiology
Lampent is a ghostly Pokémon that appears to be a haunted lantern. It has a black cone-shaped cap with pointed tip at the top, and a cylindrical spool-shaped black lower body with two long arms curling from beneath it. Its head appears to be a glass bulb with a blazing purple flame contained inside; it has two small glowing yellow eyes (similar to the eyes of its pre-evolution Litwick) on the outside of its glass head, and no visible mouth.
Evolution
Lampent is the evolved form of Litwick, as of level 41, while Lampent itself evolves into Chandelure with the use of a Dusk Stone.
