Lampent in Pokemon Survivor

Lampent at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Lampent has 97 HP, 101 speed and a 1.22x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is below average, its speed is below average and its attack is above average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 48.6, which puts it at rank 520 overall, rank 77 of 141 among Unova Pokemon and rank 37 of 60 Ghost-types and 46 of 76 Fire-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Lampent sits next to Shelgon one place above it and Clodsire one place below it.

Lampent moves

Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Lampent starts every run with Shadow Ball: a shadowy orb that pierces several foes.

The level-up cards can then offer 17 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 9 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Ghost moves: Lick, Shadow Ball, Hex
• Fire moves: Ember, Flamethrower, Fire Spin, Heat Wave, Will-O-Wisp, Flame Wheel

Weaknesses and resistances

Lampent takes extra damage from Water (1.6x), Ground (1.6x), Rock (1.6x), Ghost (1.6x), and Dark (1.6x). It resists Normal (0.3x), Fighting (0.3x), Bug (0.36x), Fire (0.6x), Grass (0.6x), Ice (0.6x), Poison (0.6x), Steel (0.6x), and Fairy (0.6x). The remaining 4 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Lampent are the ones whose first type is Water, Ground, Rock, Ghost, or Dark. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Ghost or Fire moves do not hit harder just because Lampent shares the type.

How to get Lampent

Lampent is part of the Unova banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (30% for Uncommon) and then picks one of the 27 Uncommon Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Lampent a 1.11% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 90 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 30 coins, or 90 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

A rarity-2 Pokemon like Lampent can also turn up as the Lost Pokemon event in a run. Lead it to the marker and, one time in five, it joins your collection; you always get coins, a ticket and a heal.

Shiny Lampent exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Lampent as an enemy

Lampent can show up as a regular enemy from 1:10 into the run (enemy tier 2). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.

Its enemy role is chaser: it walks straight at you and hurts you on contact.
