• Fire Attacker:Fire SpinOminous Wind+

A massive 335 ATK and the addition of the 145 base power Ominous Wind+ instantly establishes Mega Chandelure as a top-tier meta threat. So how does it stack up in a highly competitive Ghost-type meta where competition also looms from Dark types against specific Raid Bosses? And what about the Fire typing? Let's find out.

As a Ghost type

Mega Chandelure makes its haunting presence known immediately on its arrival in Pokémon GO as it becomes THE best Ghost-type attacker! Yes, higher DPS than both Mega Gengar and Dawn Wings Necrozma, and without the painful weakness to Psychic-type damage like Mega Gengar. That's not all, as Mega Chandelure even surpasses the DPS dealt by Dark Pulse+ Mega Houndoom and Shadow Darkai, making it the go-to attacker against Ghost and Psychic Raid Bosses. While Dark-type counters still hold the advantage of resisting both Ghost- and Psychic-type attacks, Mega Chandelure’s damage numbers put it comfortably at the top, making it the ideal counter to start the Raid Battle with. It goes without saying that Mega Chandelure is a phenomenal addition to the Pokémon GO Raids meta.

As a Fire type

Mega Chandelure is a solid Fire-type attacker but it's quite outclassed. Both Mega Charizard Y and Mega Blaziken are stronger than Mega Chandelure, and these two don't even have +Charged Attacks yet! Fellow Fire/Ghost Pokémon, Blacephalon, also hits harder. As such, there is absolutely no reason to invest in Mega Chandelure as a Fire-type attacker. Best to keep it on the spooky side.

Is Mega Chandelure future proof?

No. Mega Chandelure’s dominance in the Ghost-type DPS rankings comes because of Ominous Wind+. Mega Gengar has a considerably higher ATK and when it eventually does gain its own +Charged Attack, it seems quite obvious that it would emerge as the stronger attacker. That said, Mega Chandelure will remain a great Ghost-type type attacker to use so don't hesitate investing into it!

• Master League: Mega Edition:IncinerateFlame ChargeEnergy Ball

🔵 Mega Great League

Insane coverage and a bunch of hard-hitting moves powered by Incinerate make Mega Chandelure a formidable threat in the Mega Great League. The damage output is so consistent, that it even takes down multiple Pokémon wielding super-effective attacks against it, including Mega Houndoom, Mega and regular Malamar, Araquanid, and Jellicent. If that wasn't impressive enough already, it also beats powerful Dragon-type Megas such as Mega Dragonite, Mega Altaria, and Mega Charizard X. Mega Chandelure is a worthy Pokémon that threatens the PvP meta to a great extent.

🟡 Mega Ultra League

While still dominant, Mega Chandelure’s wins in the Mega Ultra League lean more towards threats you expect it to beat. It also overpowers Cresselia, the powerful Mega Raichu X, Mega Altaria, and Mega Dragonite, but loses to Mega Charizard X. With two extra Incinerate spams farmed, Mega Chandelure beats Shadow Feraligatr even if it starts the bout at only 1/3rd of its HP! In addition, this extra energy also helps it claim Mega Charizard X, Giratina Altered, Dusknoir, and Mimikyu.

🟣 Mega Master League

While Mega Chandelure’s wins narrow down by a bit in the Mega Master League, it's still a decent threat when you consider the opponents it beats. Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Delphox, both Crowned Doggos, Dialga Origin, Black Kyurem, and various Steel types all go down to Mega Chandelure's onslaught. One can argue that many of these wins are expected from a strong Ghost/Fire Mega Evolution and it's valid, so Mega Chandelure winds up being predictable to some degree. Moreover, unlike the lower PvP Leagues, Mega Chandelure is unable to pose a threat to the Dragon-type Megas.
