Litwick (Japanese: ヒトモシ Hitomoshi) is a dual-type Ghost/Fire Pokémon.

It evolves into Lampent starting at level 41, which evolves into Chandelure when exposed to a Dusk Stone.

Biology

Litwick is a small, candle-like Pokémon with a purple flame atop its head, which is powered by life energy that it absorbs. Its body and two stubby arms are made of primarily of white wax. The folded, melted wax lays over its right eye, and leaves only the bright yellow left eye visible. It has a small smile under a protruding upper lip. Litwick pretends to guide people and Pokémon around by illuminating darkened areas. However, it is actually sucking away their life energy and leading them to the Ghost World. In the anime, the flame is shown to grow as it continually absorbs life energy.

Multiple Litwick appeared in the Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures short In the Dark.

Trivia

Origin

Litwick is a combination of hitodama (a blue, black, or purple-fire associated with ghosts and yōkai, equivalent to the western will-o'-the-wisp) and a candle. It may also be based on the cliché of ghostly floating candles.

Name origin

Litwick may to be a combination of lit (past tense of to light) or little and wick. Wick might also refer to wicked.

Hitomoshi may be derived from 火点し hitomoshi, which means to light a lamp but also describes the person who leads a funeral procession in Japan with a torch, matching its Pokédex entry saying it leads people astray and then sucks out their life force. It may also derive from 人燃し hitomoshi (to burn a man [to death]).
