Imprison Chandelure is used in VGC occasionally; one of my two losses at Long Beach regionals in the 2012 season was against a guy who counterteamed me on turn 1 when his Chandelure used Imprison against my Reuniclus instead of Shadow Ball. That pretty much screwed me up for the rest of the match. Beheeyem also gets the Imprison / TR combo and can actually use 0 IVs and Quiet
just in case your opponent successfully gets up TR (thanks to Rage Powder, Follow Me, or Taunt), and Imprison will always go before your opponent's TR when you have a chance to counter it.

Not at all obvious. It's one of many viable sets Chandelure can run in doubles.
Edit: Speaking of Beheeyem, it also gets Ally Switch. Take that as you will, I haven't done any testing on it, but just putting it out there.
