Litwick

() is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Litwick seems to be based upon a lit candle. It is white and cylindrical in shape with small yellow eyes, one of which is hidden by what appears to be a flap of melted wax; the drooping wax covers and encircles the top of Litwick's head. It has small stubby hands and a small grinning mouth that appear to be drips of wax. Due to its Ghost typing, Litwick's ethereal body is incapable of melting. The flame on its head is of purple color and has supernatural qualities.
===Behavior===
As a -type Pokémon, Litwick tend to be mischievous and cruel. It tends to live in old mansions and dilapidated places. It lures people and Pokémon with its mysterious purple flame into following them, only to in reality absorb their life energy. In the anime, they are shown to steal life energy from People and Pokémon, while leading them into the Ghost World. The anime shows that the more energy it drains, the bigger its flame becomes.
==Evolution==
Litwick evolves into Lampent at level 41 and into Chandelure when a Dusk Stone is used.

==Appearance==
===Anime===
In Scare at the Litwick Mansion! A group of Litwick appeared where they, along with a Lampent tried to attack Ash and friends, Jessie, James and Meowth. When Team Rocket sought to make the abandoned mansion the Litwick inhabited into their Unova headquarters, the Litwick decided to play them for the fools they are and suck out their life force to keep their candles burning. When Ash tried to scan one with his Pokédex, it stopped halfway through the description. One by one the Litwick picked off each of the trainers' Pokémon and scare everyone. After Ash found out more about the Litwick and their true intentions are, the three friends now realize that the Litwick made Ash's Pokédex go out mid sentence because they didn't want them to learn that. After they and Team Rocket find their Pokémon, they form a truce to fight the Litwick and Lampent. However, they were no match for all of them but eventually were stopped and were banished to the Ghost World.
==Trivia==
*Litwick's cry starts off high pitched but echoes near the end almost sounding like its in a cave.
*Despite being known to leech life energy, it can not learn any draining moves.
*In Pokémon-Amie, one can pet a Litwick's flame and not be burned by it, instead, it will cause the "Transparent Hand" affect which is common from petting types in Pokémon-Amie. It shares this trait with its evolutionary family.
*Litwick has the lowest Speed stat of all types, along with Slugma, Torkoal and a Mega Evolved Camerupt.
*Litwick has the lowest Attack stat of both its types. 
**It shares this trait with Unovan Zen Mode Darmanitan and Yamask.
*Litwick and Scorbunny are the same size, and both hold the record of the smallest type.
*Litwick was originally intended to be the middle stage of its evolutionary line with Lampent being the final stage and a small flame-like wisp being the first stage. This was later scrapped and Litwick was made into the first stage after Chandelure was designed.
*Litwick heavily looks like Candlelight Cookie from Cookie Run Ovenbreak.
===Origin===
Litwick is based on a candle with its "hair" resembling the wax that melts from them while they are lit. The purple flames of this Pokémon's line are a play on the depiction of ghosts/spirits appearing as ghostly flames/lights in Japanese culture, or the legend of the will-o'-the-wisp.
===Etymology===
Litwick may come from lit, little, and wick or possibly wicked, on account of its highly mischievous ways of tricking people and Pokémon.
Its Japanese name, Hitomoshi, translates into three different things in Japanese. Firstly, it can mean "to light a lamp", but it can also be used as "to burn a man to death". Hitomoshi is also the name of a person that leads a funeral in Japan, usually carrying a lit torch.
