Shadow Chandelure is one of the strongest hitters in both its Ghost and Fire typings, boasting exceptional damage figures that outdo some big names in these metas. It's indeed a super valuable Shadow Pokémon that is definitely worth maxing out. Let's check out its performance in both types.

👻 As a Ghost type

The best combat performance of Shadow Chandelure comes in its Ghost-type role where it comfortably sits among the top attackers. It not only deals more damage than its eventual Mega Evolution, but also surpasses Blacephalon, Mega Banette, and Mega Froslass. In fact, only Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Gengar’s Mega and Shadow forms outdo it in damage.

Here, Shadow Chandelure sports Hex and Shadow Ball for optimal damage (yes, its Community Day move, Poltergeist, isn't strong enough).

🔥 As a Fire type

In the Fire-type department, Shadow Chandelure is not as dominant as it is in the Ghost meta, but it's still a superb attacker. With moves Fire Spin and Overheat, it edges past Shadow Heatran and Shadow Moltres in DPS.

Given a choice between the two, definitely go with the Ghost-type attacker role. And it's worth mentioning again that even though Mega Chandelure has higher bulk, Shadow Chandelure takes the bragging rights for damage. As such, you won't regret investing your resources on the Shadow rather than the Mega, but keep in mind that dodging is mandatory in Raids.

For Gyms, Shadow Chandelure is hardly able to take any hits due to its terrible bulk (lowered further by the Shadow nerf to its DEF). Just enjoy running this Pokémon in Raids! 🙌

🔵 Great League

Shadow Chandelure’s stat product is lower than Lampent, its own pre-evolution. No wonder it is easy for your opponent to farm energy for their Pokémon at the expense of your Shadow Chandelure.

🟡 Ultra League

Ultra League presents Shadow Chandelure with the same issues it has in the Great League, lack of bulk and a viable moveset that would have compensated for its fragility. With neither, this Pokémon should never be used in this format.

🟣 Master League

It picks up a small handful of wins such as Zacian (Crowned Sword), Zamazenta (Crowned Shield), and some Steel types, but beyond these, it is extremely risky to use Shadow Chandelure in this format owing to its low win rate.
