Everything you need to know about LitwickĄŻs Spotlight Hour.

This week's Spotlight Hour is all about the Candle Pokémon, making it the perfect time to catch a perfect Litwick in Pokémon Go.

The Candle Pokémon is a fan favourite, both because of how ridiculously cute it is, but also because its fully evolve form, Chandelure, is very strong in Pokémon Go. While is not great in PVP, thanks to its high Attack stat. This, however, means that it is a fantastic budget Raid attacker against most Psychic-types in Pokémon Go.

That, plus the fact that it's coming up for Halloween and we like ghosts, means that this should be a great event. Along with Gastly and Duskull, Litwick will be spawning on mass, so let the spookiest hour commence!

While you're out there showing the Professor that you ain't afraid of no Ghosts, you can make the most that the special bonus that runs alongside this week's Spotlight Hour – the double catch XP bonus.

Litwick's 100% perfect IV stats in Pokémon Go

This week’s Spotlight Hour is a great opportunity to catch a Litwick with perfect IV stats.

Litwick.

'Perfect' means two things in Pokémon Go, depending on how you plan to use a given Pokémon. First, there’s the maxed out, 100% IV version, which is the 15/15/15 you’re looking for your 4* Pokédex, raids and Master League. Yet, because of how CP is calculated using three stats, a perfect IV Pokémon is generally only ever the best version of itself in the Master League.

Of course, you can’t see the IV of a Pokémon without catching it first, but, with a little research beforehand, you can quickly spot a perfect Gastly based on the CP alone.

If you’re at Level 30 (or above), you’ll ideally be looking for the following CPs for a perfect 15/15/15 Litwick:

  • Level 30 (wild CP maximum) - 863 CP
  • Level 35 (weather boosted CP maximum) - 934 CP

Litwick's wild CP value aligns with your current Trainer Level until you reach Level 30, so, since the majority of the player base is above this level, we keep to these values for the sake of simplicity. If you're currently beneath Level 30, however, these values will be different.

Perfect stats in Pokémon Go, however, depend entirely on what you want to use your Pokémon for.

A Pokémon that is perfect for the Master League and raids means exclusively 15/15/15 - the best possible stats that a Pokémon can have. Meanwhile, perfect for Great League and Ultra League are completely different, as the goal is to get the lowest attack for the highest defence, and getting that CP as close to the league’s cap as possible.

If you want to run Chandelure in Go Battle League, you’re looking for different stats:

  • A perfect Great League Chandelure is 0/15/14, reaching CP1500 at Level 17
  • A perfect Ultra League Chandelure is 0/15/12, reaching CP2500 at Level 28.5
  • A perfect Master League Chandelure is 15/15/15, reaching CP3695 at Level 50

Litwick evolution chart: What does Litwick evolve into?

Litwick's evolutions all follow a really cool theme - the Candle Pokémon Litwick evolves into the Lamp Pokémon, Lampent, which in turn evolves into the Luring Pokémon, Chandelure. You can read their official Pokédex entries below:

  • Litwick - The flame on its head keeps its body slightly warm. This Pokémon takes lost children by the hand to guide them to the spirit world.
  • Lampent - This Pokémon appears just before someone passes away, so it’s feared as an emissary of death.
  • Chandelure - This Pokémon haunts dilapidated mansions. It sways its arms to hypnotize opponents with the ominous dancing of its flames.

Fortunately, in Pokémon Go, all forms of a given Pokémon share the same resources - this means you’ll need a total of 125 Litwick Candy in order to complete this evolution line; 25 for Lampent and another 100 for Chandelure. You will also need an Unova Stone to evolve your Lampent into a Chandelure.

Everything in Litwick's evolution line is a Ghost/Fire-type Pokémon. (Image credit: pokemon.com)

Is Chandelure good in PVP?

No, especially when compared to the other two Pokémon in this Spotlight Hour. It's not awful, but it shouldn't be your main use of a Chandelure.

Chandelure.

If you insist on running it, you're looking at Incinerate, Shadow Ball and Flame Charge. This is a pretty reasonable moveset, offering flexibility with both of Chandelure's types, and both fast move and shield pressure in battle. With Flame Charge buffing your attack, you can also build momentum during the battle, as long as you don't lose due to Chandelure's low defence.

(Super)naturally, as a Ghost we recommend running the Shadow variant, where you have one.

In Great League, this means wins against Serperior, Clodsire, Dewgong, Talonflame and Jumpluff, but losses against Gastrodon, Azumarill, Mandibuzz, Shadow Feraligatr and Dunsparce.

In Ultra League, this means wins against Venusaur, Cobalion, Clefable, Virizion and Tentacruel, but losses against Giratina Altered, Lickilicky, Skeledirge, Talonflame and Shadow Drapion.

In Master League, a perfect 15/15/15 caps out at 3695 CP, which is pretty impressive. Since it's huge attack no longer holds it back, you can actually compete with this Pokémon. Expect wins against Zacian, Xerneas, Lugia, Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dialga, but losses against Giratina Origin, Dragonite, Dawn Wings Necrozma, Mewtwo and Zygarde Complete.


The Max Out Season is here. The new global event, Wild Area, is nearly here and In the Wild is our lead-up event, which includes the global release of Toxel. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.


What do shiny Litwick, Lampent and Chandelure look like?

To find a shiny Pokémon, you need to either start a catch encounter with a Pokémon in the wild or earn said encounter by completing an activity, like a raid or research task. From there, it's easy to see if you've encountered a shiny Pokémon due to its alternative colouring, the sparkles which shine when the encounter begins and the shiny icon next to the Pokémon's name.

Be aware, however, that this is not a Community Day event, so you only have the normal chances of finding a shiny in the wild!

Below you can take a look at shiny Litwick, Lampent and Chandelure alongside their regular non-shiny appearances:

As you can see, all three take on different colour schemes. Litwick goes for an even colder blue, with a green eye behind the waxy emo-fringe. Lampent also changes its eye colour to blue, while the metal takes on a darker shade of black. Finally, Chandelure goes Super Saiyan, with orange flames, darker blacks, a purple eye and a warmer, greenish body.

Other tips for this Spotlight Hour

Lampent.

Aside from trying to catch a shiny Litwick in Pokémon Go, there's a couple of other good reasons to partake in this week's Spotlight Hour:

  • The best reason, maybe even more than Litwick itself depending on how long you've been playing Pokémon Go, is the double catch XP bonus running throughout the hour. Try to focus on making Excellent Throws to make the most of this bonus! We also recommend waiting until this Spotlight Hour is live before catching your first Pokemon of the day, because, again, it will result in more XP.
  • This bonus can be stacked with a Lucky Egg, which doubles the amount of XP you earn for every activity in Pokémon Go.
  • Thanks to Litwick being a Ghost/Fire-type, catching a bunch during this Spotlight Hour will add progress to your respective catch bonus medals.

Spotlight Hour events only last for an hour - 6pm to 7pm (local time). We don't know who’s taking the spotlight next week, but come back then and we'll have a primer for you, ready to go.

Good luck finding a perfect Litwick!
