Biology

Lampent is a Pokémon which has a clear, spherical head containing a bluish-purple flame and oval, yellow eyes. On top of its head is a black covering, which resembles a lampshade, with a pointed spike on top. Underneath its head is a small, black body with a pointed spike at the bottom. Extending from its body are two long, wavy arms with no fingers. It floats through the air to move.

Lampent can sense when someone is about to die, whom it visits and steals the spirit from the person's body. Though most often found in deep forests, it quietly wanders through cities and hangs around near hospitals to absorb the spirits of the fallen. It also pretends to be a lamp while in cities. Because of this, Lampent is feared as the emissary of death. It uses the spirits it has absorbed to fuel its fire. On occasion, it has been known to work with Litwick to lead people to the Ghost World while stealing life energy.

Evolution

Lampent evolves from Litwick and evolves into Chandelure.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

  • Lampent represents October in the Unova horoscope.
  • Lampent and its evolutionary relatives are the only dual-type Fire/Ghost Pokémon to have Ghost as their primary type instead of their secondary type.

Origin

Lampent seems to be based on an oil street lamp and the hitodama or will-o'-the-wisps. It may also take inspiration from chōchin-obake, albeit in a modern, Western style. Its lampshade resembles a witch hat.

Name origin

Lampent may be a combination of lamp, lambent (softly glowing), and possibly lament.

Lampler may be derived from lamp.
