CARDEX BACKGROUND
The Pokémon’s story
Lampent can pass for a streetlamp in a town, remaining motionless until it spots a dying person. It then follows them silently. Pokédex accounts say it draws in souls to sustain its flame, explaining its reputation as a bad omen. Its presence near hospitals has strengthened this fear. Behind the familiar object it imitates thus hides a Pokémon associated with final moments, long before passers-by notice it.
Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.A detail worth noticing
Pokémon Shield explains that Lampent disguises itself as an urban streetlamp to follow its target discreetly. Pokémon Sword explains its reputation as a messenger of death through its appearances at the moment someone dies. Its camouflage makes this belief still more unsettling.
