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 express 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.

• In Pokémon GO, Salamence is one of the few Pokémon that can have a CP of 3000 or more that is not a Mythical or Legendary.
• Salamance's name and facial characteristics might be inspired by the dragons of the 2002 film Reign of Fire; Salamence's debut was in 2002 as of the theoritical release of the Reign of Fire, and Salamence's Japanese name Bohmander was based on Salamander where the Japanese title of the Reign of Fire was the Salamander (サラマンダー), and Salamence's facial characteristics share some similarities with dragons in the Reign of Fire including crests above eyes akin to that of the male dragon and horizontal horns along the heads akin to that of both male and female dragons. Salamence isn't a Fire Type, being somewhat similar to the dragons in the Reign of Fire don't breath fire itself.

Origin

Salamence is based on dragons and possibly salamanders. Its coloration and wing shape may be inspired by the character Devilman, a superhero from the 70s. Its Mega Evolved form also resembles a fighter jet.

Etymology

Salamence is a combination of salamander, immense and menace.
