Another evolutionary line with completely new typing, this dual Ghost/Fire three stage family is easily one of the coolest new Isshu Pokemon both looks-wise and gameplay-wise. Hitomoshi starts as an adorable little smiling candle with wax covering one eye, and ultimately ends up as Shandera, a terrifying chandelier with the highest special attack of any non-legendary Pokemon. If you EV train in special attack and speed, Shandera has the potential to be a formidable special sweeper. Will-o-wisp and Evil Eye also make a great moveset combo.
