If you’re looking for an answer it’s near the start of the video. Basically a flawless revenge killer, if your opponent kills any mon you have, that killer is dead because they can’t switch out, making any steel type bar Heatran unusable. Even ghost types that can escape must be scared of having their teammates take a nuclear Fire Blast/Shadow Ball or even worse, Overheat, to the face.

"Are you trickroom or anti-trickroom?" "Yes"

[@erwin791]

I’m surprised you didn’t talk about how Chandelure was used in SM OU as a wallbreaker with Choice Specs that could switch into fire types like Charizard Y and wreak havoc... until Blacephalon came around and ruined it

Alright, so I’ve been doing some research on what Shadow Tag Chandelure could have been like in the competitive scene. I get that this comment is a bit late, and that no one’s gonna see this, but here’s what I found regardless 😁 -Firstly, Shadow Tag Chandelure would only be usable legitimately in Gen 5, since its “real” hidden Ability wasn’t added in until Gen 6 -Shadow Tag would have helped to patch up one of Chandelure’s biggest weaknesses, being the ability to switch into special walls like Tentacruel and Jellicent with ease; the other two abilities rarely see viable use as is given Chandelure’s design and play style -Chandelure fits well onto hardcore sun teams in Gen 5 OU, and it’s worth noting that hardcore sun teams typically have a hard time finding two things: revenge killers and spinblockers; enter Shadow Tag Chandelure who does both -Shadow Tag’s mechanics in the earlier Gens theoretically gives Chandelure a winning matchup against every single Ghost-Type in the game bar itself, though it can still be dealt with in Ubers by bulky Giratina and Arceus-Ghost in this regard -Chandelure’s would-be niche of being a true Fire-type trapper would allow it to serve as an overall better alternate to Magnezone in “DragMag” team compositions for the purpose of trapping and killing Steel-Type threats -A set of Shadow Ball, special Fire-Type STAB, Psychic, and Hidden Power Ice enables unresisted coverage and the ability to revenge kill almost the entire Gen 5 OU meta except for bulky neutral threats like Tyranitar from various percentages after hazard damage (see spinblocking comment from earlier) -The above set with every move except Psychic (allowing the use of a different move) would be able to trap and kill every Ex-Uber Pokémon in the game; these include Mew, Celebi, the Wynaut line, Salamence, the Lati Twins, and Garchomp, most of whom can also be outsped with the help of a Choice Scarf assuming the opponent lacks the item -Shadow Tag Chandelure would also be able to reliably stall various slower threats with access to moves like Will-O-Wisp, Taunt, the rarely seen Fire Spin, Toxic, Substitute, etc.; correct me if I’m wrong but I think it gets Pain Split as well for recovery

[@adis3202]

That's a pretty comprehensive breakdown my dude. Really well thought out

[@bdt2002gaming]

Adi S Thanks 😊 I can’t help but be curious about scrapped content when it comes to the topic of game balance

[@calt7964]

I genuinely think it would’ve been banned to ubers when it had shadow tag just because of how powerful it would have been.

[@bdt2002gaming]

@@calt7964 Oh, absolutely. The question is, how far would the set get in the Gen 5 Ubers metagame? I can honestly draw a lot of comparisons between this and Mega Gengar pre-Groudon meta. Infiltrator nowadays is nice, but it's also niche in a day and age where Substitute and Protect, aren't used as much, although the guaranteed hit on Mimikyu is pretty nice. Shadow Tag is not only a great Ability, but it fits Chandelure's hit and run play style far better than any of its other Abilities aside from maybe Flash Fire against opposing sun, but that's pushing it. Overall I suspect it would have been a staple on sun teams alongside Groudon and Regen Ho-Oh but wouldn't see much use outside of sun or the ability to trap and remove Ghosts, Psychics and especially Steels. Stealth Rock is notoriously hard to spin away in Ubers too, which hurts its constant switching nature. But since Chandelure won't be tasked with dealing with things like Kyogre anyway, its team can help it become virtually impossible play against. Edit: I promise I'm almost done here. This has been long, but I absolutely love this strategy now and have done a lot of research on its potential. Its best parter is easily Zekrom with a Jolly nature, which chunks all of Chandleure's main checks and dumpsters Kyogre if outspeeds and/or has a Choice Scarf. It also loves Rain Dish tentacreul, which can spin hazards while taking advantage of Kyogre's rain, all while still being vulnerable to a Psychic trap if used on the opponent's team.

@@bdt2002gaming itd be an awesome spin blocker in Ubers too, I think it could cleave through Giratina. Ghost Arceus. Possibly mewtwo, genesect, dialga it may only be neutral against. But it could certainly tank it’s stabs easily. Gosh chandelure is such a good Pokémon.

You can imagine my surprise at seeing a 29 min video for this unsuspecting guy. I always thought he had potential, but I had no idea he was such a doubles monster!

[@_uncredited_]

Damn, can’t believe that you didn’t even mention how powerful it is in the Pokken competitive scene

[@beta511ee4]

What makes Chandelure good in Pokken?

[@NCsPride704]

We see Bisharp in damn near every video. It's time man.

oh baby i’ve been waiting for this one

[@PapaTaurean]

Chandeleur can be a beast if used correctly and I love it. Ghost/Fire is a cool combination, aesthetically speaking
