How to beat Chandelure

Chandelure has 3 versions in the 2026–27 Standard format, with up to 150 HP as a Fire Pokémon. Here's the maths for Knocking it Out — worked out from every Standard-legal card.

Game plan

  1. Hit its Weakness. Chandelure is weak to Water and Darkness, so those attacks do double damage. 104 Standard cards can Knock it Out in one hit that way — the fastest needs just 1 Energy.
  2. Don't over-invest. It only gives up 1 Prize card, so avoid spending a big two-Prize attacker on it if a cheaper Pokémon can do the job.
  3. Avoid Fighting attacks. Chandelure resists them, so they do less damage.
  4. Plan for its big hit. Its strongest printed attack is Burn It All Up for 180 (2 Energy). 177 Standard cards have enough HP to survive one hit — before any Weakness, + or × effects.
  5. Watch the Retreat Cost. It costs 2 Energy to retreat. If it gets stuck in the Active Spot, that's your chance.

One-hit Knock Outs using Weakness

These Water/Darkness attacks do at least 150 after Weakness. Fastest (fewest Energy) first.
