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

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 primarily out 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 and they can interfere with electronic devices, such as Pokédexes.

In the anime

Major appearances

Four Litwick debuted in Scare at the Litwick Mansion!, where they, along with a Lampent, tried to take Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket to the Ghost World.

In the Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures short In the Dark, multiple Litwick were summoned by Hoopa in order to light up a dark cave for Ash. However, Hoopa summoned so many that it rudely awakened a group of Noivern, Noibat, Sableye, and Carbink.

In Raid Battle in The Ruins!, the excavation leader used a Litwick in a Raid Battle against a giant Golurk. It quickly retreated after Golurk managed to repel its Fire Spin. Litwick reappeared in a flashback in Restore and Renew!.

Minor appearances

In Climbing the Tower of Success!, a Litwick was mixed up with candles designed after them.

In Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel, a Litwick was living at the Nebel Plateau. It was close to the Volcanion guarding Nebel Plateau, as well as a fellow resident, a Gulpin.

A Trainer's Litwick appeared in The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!.

Six Trainers' Litwick appeared in A Crowning Moment of Truth!, with one appearing in a flashback. They were among the Pokémon attending the Wela Fire Festival‎.

In A Haunted House for Everyone!, a Litwick was an illusion created by a Mismagius.

A Litwick appeared in Searching for Chivalry!, under the ownership of Wikstrom. It provided light inside the Castle of Chivalry.

BW026	Litwick	Ash's Pokédex	Litwick, the Candle Pokémon.

They feed off the life energy of people and Pokémon, and use it as fuel for the flames on their heads.

Origin

Litwick may be based on a candle and the hitodama or will-o'-the-wisps.

Name origin

Litwick may be a combination of lit (past tense of to light) and wick. Lit might also refer to little, while wick might 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]).
