Candela (Pokémon)

==Summary==
Candela is the leader of Team Valor in Pokémon GO. Team Valor is researching Pokémon strength, and is represented by Moltres. Team Valor Trainers believe that their Pokémon are the strongest because they train to naturally enhance a Pokémon's power in search of true strength.
She is one of Professor Willow's assistants, along with Spark and Blanche. She is the oldest of the three team leaders. While a very passionate and emotional person, Candela is capable of approaching difficult situations calmly. Candela was once close friends with Team GO Rocket Leader Arlo, who used to be a member of Team Valor prior to Candela becoming its leader.

On par with Spark, who defeated a Team GO Rocket grunt alongside Professor Willow. Team GO Rocket grunts possess Shadow Pokémon, which have been strengthened to unimaginable levels that trainers could never reach by powering them up alone, including that of most low tier Legendaries) | Planet level (Completely defeated Rocket Leader Arlo in combat and forced him to flee, who possesses Pokémon powerful enough to stomp opponents on the level of Mewtwo or Rayquaza. On par with Blanche, who completely stomped Cliff in a battle, a fellow Rocket leader, without even losing a Pokémon. The second time the Team Leaders fought the GO Rocket leaders, they were easily able to keep up with their ace Shadow Pokémon)

Was a major help in reverse-engineering the Mysterious Components, which Professor Willow stated to be highly advanced technology, into the Rocket Radar. Is considered extremely skilled at Pokémon battling, and was stated to have a near-flawless battle tactic. Defeated Arlo in a Pokémon battle, who is one of the 3 Team GO Rocket leaders, who leads millions of team members just like her)
Weaknesses: Much like her type, Candela can get pretty hotheaded, often leading her to get mad or restless in tense situations. However, this has never been shown to affect her judgement.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Fiery passion: While not necessarily an actual move, Candela learned how to emotionally channel her passion for battling into strategizing, allowing her to keep a clear head and create a near-flawless battle tactic.
