Lampent Weakness

Lampent is weak to Water, Ground, Rock, Ghost, and Dark. On the flip side, it's immune to Normal and Fighting-type moves entirely. It resists 7 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Flash Fire grants an additional Fire immunity, reshaping the matchup chart.

Lampent Guide

  • At 370 BST, Lampent is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Chandelure before bringing it to any serious fight.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Lampent's biggest threats include Gyarados (Water), Garchomp (Ground), and Golem (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Ghost and Dark-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Litwick evolves into Lampent at level 41. Lampent evolves into Chandelure using a Dusk Stone. Lampent is a middle-stage evolution in the Litwick line.

  • Lampent gets Flash Fire, Flame Body, and Infiltrator. But Flash Fire is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.

  • Lampent is a special attacker with base 95 Sp. Atk. Speed tells the real story. At base 55 Speed, it won't be moving first often.

Game Availability

Since Black & White, Lampent has been obtainable in 9 games. A Generation 5 debut means a shorter history, but Lampent has appeared steadily across every generation since.
