Why it matters
The Pokémon franchise originated as a pair of role-playing games developed by Game Freak and released on the Game Boy in February 1996 before expanding into a massive global media phenomenon.

The inclusion of Mega Chandelure brings a popular ghost and fire type into the high-tier raid meta.
