Hello, and welcome to Chandelure's Analysis Page! Remember, Chandelure's Tier is OU/Ubers.

Calm Mind Sweeper:
Nature:
Modest
EVs:
252 SpA/252 Spe/4 HP
Ability:
Shadow Tag
Item:
Leftovers/Life Orb
Moveset:
Calm Mind
Flamethrower
Energy Ball
Shadow Ball

Wow. This is beastly. Chandelure, just in-case you didn't know, has the highest Special Attack outside of Legendary Pokemon. However, this doesn't do it much, while it's in Ubers, with other Legends. On the other hand, it gives it perfect justice against certain Pokemon. Choice Item Infernape is a fail. It can't switch, and it's locked into an ineffective move, or even moves such as Close Combat and Mach Punch will fail upon contact, allowing you to safely get a +6 with Calm Mind, and ravage your opponent's team with it. It's like an offensive Wobbuffet. Yup.

Flash Fire For the Win!:

Nature:
Timid
EVs:
252 SpA/252 Spe/4 HP
Ability:
Flash Fire
Item:
Life Orb
Moveset:
Flamethrower
Overheat
Energy Ball
Shadow Ball


This is Chandelure's standard set. The Timid nature is there to outspeed. When you are fighting Infernape/Heatran/Blaziken, switch in on them correctly with Chandelure.

Let's say, Infernape is Encored by Whimsicott, to use Flare Blitz. Switch in with Chandelure, and you're in the clear. You get a big boost, due to Flash Fire. Predict a switch, correctly (Say, into a Swampert, to counter Shadow Ball), and use Enegy Ball. If not, use Overheat. It'll be quite powerful, but switch immediately, after the attack. You could use Overheat again, if you can, but switch after two Overheats, at the most. This set destroys Skarmory/Forretress, and most importantly, Ferrothorn. This set works perfectly in conjunction with Whimsicott, as I mentioned above.

Nice moves but as an ability you could also put gastrodon with DW ability that would give chandelure complete resistance against water moves. Keep doing the good work

Isn't shadow tag banned though? Correct me if im wrong but I think that's right.

Godzilla shadow tag is banned for the moment because it is not out yet.

Well it doesn't mean that he can't give an analysis on Pokémon with their "Hidden Ability [Dream World ability]", even if they aren't released yet (I find this usefull though). The set he posted is pretty much what made Shadow Tag Chandelure get sent into Ubers in the first place (even if it isn't out yet), though this doesn't mean it can't be used in OU and under with its 2 normal abilities (but that's beside the point..).
PokemonGod did mention he was gonna post an OU set too so lets wait for it.
