Salamence (Japanese: ボーマンダ Boomanda) is a Dragon/Flying-type Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology

Physiology

Salamence is a blue and red dragon-like Pokémon with huge red wings and red eyebrows. It has large blue ears and its front and a pair of red wings that grew due to a sudden cell mutation. It is big enough that a Trainer could stand on its back.

Behavior

Having finally achieved its desire to fly, Salamence flies all over the sky and spouts hot flames that burns fields and mountains as a way to exrpess its joy. It becomes uncontrollable and goes on a rampage when angered, and this does not stop until the Pokémon becomes tired.

Evolution

The first stage of Salamence's evolution is Bagon, which evolves into Shelgon, and then into Salamence. It can further Mega Evolve into Mega Salamence during battle using its Mega Stone, the Salamencite.
