Actually, it's at a disadvantage. The Fire and Water typings don't matter at all, because Ghost is SE against itself so they can both hit each other for SE damage with STAB moves. It makes no difference whether Jelly uses Water/Ghost, and Chandy would obviously just use Ghost. Chandy also has higher SP Attack than Jelly's SP Def.

Yes that is true I agree, however that doesn't mean Jellicent is at a disadvantage. To slightly change my original post if Jellicent made it's move before Chandelure by means of Trick Room for example and used Hydro Pump , or even a rain induced Surf it could defeat Chandelure quite easily.

And vice versa, so really I believe they can be equally as good against each other and other Pokemon.

Chandelure is alright. Huge Sp.Atk and being a type of haunted artifical lighting that it eats people's souls or something? Dead right that's cool. But it's loved by just too many people for me to like it more (see Lucario, Charizard and Haxorus, who also fall into this category).

Out of the two, I'm going to go with Jellicent. That moustache is something else. And because it's the triplet brother of the monopoly guy and the pringles guy, and being brothers with them automatically makes you a winner (female Jellicent is sister to Miss Piggy and Mrs Pototohead, which is nothing to shout about, so let's not go there).

Plus I've used Jellicent fairly often, and it's really good (not saying Chandy isn't, but I've hardly used it to make comment).

I prefer Male Jellicents design, but thats not to say Chandelure isnt awesome.

In a fight....Im not sure who would win. Jellicent might have the bulk to take a Shadow Ball, and could potentially OHKO with a Water attack. But Im not really sure....

Both Chandela and Burungel have awesome designs and typing, but I tend to like fire more than water.
Plus, Chandela looks more like a Ghost than Burungel will ever look.

Actually Chandys speed is actually really good if you properly EV train it and use the right items and use shadow tag with it chandy becomes a deadly midnight assassin Sweeper The only chance jelly has against chandy is the type and advantage

Chandelure for the unique and cool typing, and awesome design.

Props to Jellicent, though, for being generally more useful, IMO.

I love Chandelure's concept and design but Jellicent's female design is superb.
Can't decide =(

Im going with Chandelure. It has an awesomely cool design and typing and did pretty well in game for me. I like Jellicent as well though.

On a 1vs1 Chandy has the upper hand but overall Jellicent is more useful overall since it is a bulky water and is better than Chandy at being a counter for fighting types since they almost always carry rock moves these days.

Both are awesome :(... but I choose Chandlure... badass typing and awesome design+ monstrous SpA? sweet!
