Chandelure · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Chandelure card
Numbered 38 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Chandelure is an Uncommon, a Stage 2 Fire-type carrying 150 HP.
It evolves from Lampent, so Chandelure is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Chandelure carries this Pokédex flavor text: "In homes illuminated by Chandelure instead of lights, funerals were a constant occurrence—or so it's said."
What is Chandelure worth?
Chandelure is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Chandelure before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Chandelure grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Chandelure
Raw copies of Chandelure are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Chandelure is the practical move.
