OK so I'm working on my Chandelure at the moment and I need some opinions.
Obviously, this thing is a sweeper, but it is so damn frail. I was thinking about this move set:
Modest Nature with Life Orb
Flame Body
Flamethrower (STAB)
Shadow Ball (STAB)
Substitute (protection from potential OHKOs and gives me a free potential kill)
Pain Split (cripple the foe and regain health due to substitute and life orb recoil)
But then I started thinking. This pokemon is designed to kill as fast as possible due to its massive SpA stat but low defenses and speed. I then thought of this moveset:
Flamethrower (STAB)
Shadow Ball (STAB)
Energy Ball (coverage)
Hidden Power Fighting(coverage)/Substitute(protection)
I don't think he needs calm mind due to how slow he is, plus he already has a massive special attack stat, and mix that in with life orb, and calm mind would kinda be a waste.
Thoughts?
