Among the Halloween-inspired Pokemon creations of October 2022 is an incredible Litwick candle made by a fan of the Gen 5 Ghost and Fire-type Pokemon. With the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet on the way in November, many Pokemon fans are focusing their artwork on the next generation of the series, but a Reddit user is among those still celebrating Pokemon Black and White Pokedex entries.
Reddit user Phonyphones recently shared an image of their customized Litwick candle that looks remarkably similar to the small Gen 5 Pokemon. Litwick was first introduced in Pokemon Black and White, but several fans of the Ghost and Fire-type Pokemon met it in various episodes of the anime, including one named after it titled "Scare at the Litwick Mansion." A Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer has confirmed a Pokemon that many fans have likened Litwick to called Greavard, which has a similarly colored candle atop its head to the one in Phonyphones' post.
Phonyphones' Litwick has the melted candle aesthetic apparent in its hair and legs and instead of topping the custom candle with a wick, there's a platform for the Pokemon fan to place a tea light. The tea light used in the image is fittingly illuminated with purple to match Litwick's base design but could easily be switched to a blue flame to appear more like the much rarer Shiny Litwick. The creative candle made by Phonyphones shows some character as the smiling Fire and Ghost-type Pokemon raises one arm while pointing its other arm toward its mid-section as if it were entering a battle with a dance.
Given the Ghost-type nature of Litwick, it's not strange to see the Pokemon celebrated during the Halloween season, but Phonyphones' attention to detail in the candle has garnered the attention of many other Reddit users. Responding to the positive response to their Litwick candle, Phonyphones confirmed that Pokemon fans that want one of their own can purchase one through their Etsy. While Phonyphones' photo also celebrates other Pokedex entries such as Gengar, Mimikyu, Phantump, and more, other Pokemon like Gastly have been commemorated in Jack-o-Lanterns, and the Trick or Trade Booster bundle being sold at some retailers.
Many Pokemon fans have expressed their enthusiasm for Phonyphones' Litwick candle, with the post getting over 400 likes in less than a day. Though it's currently unclear if any of these Reddit users will get a Litwick candle of their own, a couple of Pokemon fans suggested putting the creation on top of a dog's head to replicate the look of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Greavard as part of their promotion of the product.
