Just one day ahead of Friday’s reveal for Pokken Tournament, we’ve recieved confirmation that the Ghost/Fire-type Chandelure is indeed the new fighter! We don’t know much about Chandelure’s appearance at the moment, but a special fighting competition in January 31st is set to debut a new trailer.
Who would you like to see next in Pokken Tournament? Was Chandelure one of your picks? Let us know!
UPD 1: In addition to Chandelure’s announcement, we now know of four more Support Pokemon coming to Pokken Tournament. The first set includes Pachirisu and Magikarp, and the second set includes Sylveon and Croagunk.












WHAT THE $&@?ING HELL!?!?!?
Exactly how I feel right now… CHANDELURE!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!??? WHO EVER WANTED CHANDELURE!!!!!????? HOW WILL HE FIGHT ANYWAY????!!!
It’s just a freaking Gengar clone mixed with Braixen’s distance AND FUCKING FIRE
ITS BOTH OF THEM COMBINED
Yeah. I just called my friend and we were ranting over how this situation is exactly like how Bayonetta was is Smash and not Shovel Knight.
Shovel Knight would’ve been a better choice OTHER THEN ANOTHER GOD FUCKING DAMNED TO HELL FIRE EMBLEM SWORDSMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder how Chandelure would fight. It might be a complete technical or distance fighter. Anyways, we still need Mega Swampert! 😉
We need some HEAVYWEIGHTS
Rhyperior, Snorlax, Golurk, Golem, Hariyama
All we have are speedy attackers and spellcasters
WE NEED MOAR BRAWN!!!!!!!
PROTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want Rhyperior in this game so bad.
This is one of the biggest upsets EVER!!!!! I don’t think anyone ever thought that Chandelure of all Pokemon would have been the new fighter hahahaha Either way I’m glad they’re adding inn Pokemon of all different shapes, sizes, and fighting styles bc if they were all just humanoid looking Pokemon then it would b kind of boring. I love fighting games, but usually only play as a few characters that I like and almost never touch the others. For Pokken I think I’m gonna play as all of the them and c which mon I think is the best. I really can’t wait for March to come!!!
I’m so glad it’s another fire type and not a rock or steel type! [screaming internally]
Chandelure? CHANDELURE? In a fighting game? I love the crazy choices they are making.
I think your confusing hate with love
Happens to everyone, just don’t do it again… Or else
I just said I loved it xD but I was really holding out for Heracross.
*pulls out desert eagle* I just said or else!!!
Isn’t chandelure made out of like, literal glass. Are they sure this was the best decision
Every fighter needs a glass cannon.
I can’t believe I walked right into that
I think it’s some kind of hardened near-ectoplasmic essence given with Litwick’s waxy like composition and through evolution through Lampent to Chandelure it’s body is now a clear bubble held by by bracers
(Interesting note that you cannot see the eyes through the back of a Lampent’s head yet you can with Chandelure
But getting off topic: I hate it I hope it’s frail weak and useless
Unique choice something doesnt even touch the ground, i love this choice! Makes me like chande more
Very interesting. I like it. I’d love to see Sharpedo or Bastiodon.
Those would b very interesting Pokemon to have in it. On one hand u’d have the float-y and quick Sharpedo that would shoot back and forth across the field. Then on the other hand u have the heavy and slow moving Bastiodon that would b a heavy hitter and major tank.
Metal Burst on it would be great.
Hm….didn’t see that coming. It’ll be curious to see if there are DLC fighters like with smash.
Who knows. At first they said they didn’t want paid DLC but this game just screams “I’ll have paid DLC.”
I feel like you’re the only one here who ever responds to me xD But yeah, I don’t see how they can’t do DLC. (double negative but whatever). It’s basically pokemon smash and smash made a HUGE deal about DLC. People will want it for this game
YOOOO this is actually super cool, I’m really excited!!!! Chandelure is one of my top 10 favorite Pokemon, seeing it in Pokkenn is going to be awesome!!! I’m glad they’re making these awesome choices instead of all the “obvious” choices.
Exactly. Just because it’s a fighting game doesn’t mean everything needs arms and legs. There needs to be more options so the game doesn’t get boring.
If Ian was creating this game, we’d get no variety. All ground/fighting type heavy hitters. Pokken’s got now Gardevoir, Chandelure, Suicine, Gengar… Plenty of diverse options there
This is why I hate you
lol
I did not expect that, but I’m glad the developers are putting in unique pokemon instead of the expected bipedal pokemon,it really brings more diversity and separates pokken from traditional fighters.
I’m still hoping for Greninja and Hawlucha though
Agreed. It’s Pokemon, so I’m glad that they’re trying to make it a more unique game by utilizing some interesting pokemon.
Well, that’s a surprise. It’s a much more fun choice than the expected Heracross or Swampert though, keeps the roster more varied. I like it! Hope they keep adding “weird” fighters like this.
That said, I would like to see at least a couple more “traditional” fighters too. Not necessarily Fighting-types (tho I wouldn’t mind) but maybe something like Electivire, Nidoking/-queen, or Regirock for example.
“Volcanion runs off and Ash gets dragged along by it, eventually reaching the Azoth Kingdom, a city of super-machinery where gigantic cogwheels are all over the place and rotating. Why did Volcanion fall from the sky? And why did it head to the Azoth Kingdom!? With the mechanical kingdom of machinery as its setting, the hottest legend in Pokémon history begins!”
So Azoth is a place where there is a lot of machinery so this must be where Project Azoth took place
Azoth? Kinda sounds like Azeroth
Stealing the best fictional world name and just chopping it up bite sized and calling it your own, for shame Pokemon
Actually that’s not right the word Azeroth is based on Hazeroth from Hebrew myth “Torah” and the world Azoth mean mercury or the medicine in hermetic teaching “Teachings of Ancient Alchemy”.
Just gotta 1up me don’tcha
I can’t understand wat u saying , i can’t speak local …I hope somebody can translate that for me .
FUCK u Swampert Y did u appear in my dream if they won’t reveal u?…….i still thinking they would like to change the plan and surprise the fans.
Magikarp as a support Pokemon?
That’s kinda anti support…..
I really hope it just flops around and if you step on it you slip and fall
I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but Magikarp’s face looks too long…
Very interesting choice. I’m definitely all for it. Now we wait for Burmy to be confirmed.
Here’s a few screenshots of Garchomp, Braxien, and Chandelure. Not going to lie, they all look amazing! It seems like Chandelure attacks with it’s lights, I’m guessing it’s focus is on distance attacks.
The only move that makes sense is Astonish
New pic for the thing that ruined my dream https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/12540873_449472905244725_6417350602306934505_n.jpg?oh=86baceb9407252759f2a423bc636d1a4&oe=5741D1F5&__gda__=1463636036_bb9a0cfde97c4c4f223ad03307b15dbf

Chandelure looks beautiful in this game.
It turns my stomach to bile to admit it but yeah I’m perplexed by the soft lavender colors
Also it’s ghost light is going in a good direction
I still hate it though

You can just feel the savagery radiate off It

Just one last pic Mewtwo X confirmed for its burst attack
“Ignoring the worried Ash and his friends, Volcanion, who hates humans, immediately tries to leave the place. However, the impact of the fall caused Ash and Volcanion to be linked together by a strange device, leaving them unable to separate…!”
Pokemon and human fusion anyone??
Pokken Tournament’s release date is March 18th! That’s much sooner than I expected.
Lol. A fighting chandelier….now I’ve seen everything
I know right
