Pokken Tournament just got a little bigger.Nintendo announced Chandelure will be added to the highly anticipated Pokemon fighting game this morning, joining a roster of 15 other Pokemon.Chandelure is a unique Ghost/Fire Pokemon shaped like a chandelier. First introduced in the Fifth Generation games (Pokemon Black/White and their sequels), Chandelure is the final evolution of Litwick and can only be evolved using a Dusk Stone.It’s presumed that Chandelure will be a ranged fighter given its lack of physical attacks (it is a Ghost type after all), but we’ll soon have answers when Nintendo rolls out a gameplay trailer for the character later this month.
