Candleru- Wax Fish Pokémon
Type- Water
Ability- Flash Fire/Water Veil/Swift Swim (Hidden)
Candleru’s body is covered in a strange, thick wax that can stay ignited even underwater. For some reason, they are compelled to seek out sources of fire to light themselves up. Obviously, this is difficult in their natural habitat, so they look for Trainers that use Fire-type Pokémon in the hopes of catching fire. The wick on their head is their most vulnerable point.
Smeltdown- Candle Fish Pokémon
Type- Water/Fire
Ability- Flash Fire/Weak Armor/Turboblaze (Hidden)
Evolves from Candleru at level 30 while knowing a Fire-type attack.
Candleru lucky enough to be set on fire evolve into Smeltdown, whose powerful flames can survive underwater. This makes it a dangerous predator, as most undersea life is not prepared to deal with fire. It comes with a side-effect, though- it can no longer dive very deep, as the cold water risks putting out its fire. Many Smeltdown express jealousy at Candleru’s other evolution for being able to travel deep below the surface.
Exfinguish- Burnt Out Pokémon
Type- Water/Ghost
Ability- White Smoke/Water Veil/Heatproof (Hidden)
Evolves from Candleru at level 30 while not knowing a Fire-type attack.
Candleru that are unable to ignite themselves eventually lose the capacity to do so at all, evolving into Exfinguish. These Pokémon give off such a fire-retardant aura that their mere presence can instantly put out huge blazes, making them valuable for firefighters. Their bodies are also frigid to the touch, cooling down their surroundings several degrees. They have grown bitter over their own inability to catch fire, and generally resent Smeltdown for its warm flames.
