Pokédex entries
- Sun
It burns its bodily fluids to create a poisonous gas. When its enemies become disoriented from inhaling the gas, it attacks them.
- Moon
Volcanoes or dry, craggy places are its home. It emanates a sweet-smelling poisonous gas that attracts bug Pokémon, then attacks them.
- Ultra Sun
The males will do whatever the females tell them. They give the females most of their food. Due to malnutrition, the males can’t evolve.
- Ultra Moon
It weakens opponents and sends them reeling with its poisonous gas. Salandit doesn’t deal well with Spinda, since it’s always reeling.
- Sword
Its venom sacs produce a fluid that this Pokémon then heats up with the flame in its tail. This process creates Salandit's poisonous gas.
- Shield
This sneaky Pokémon will slink behind its prey and immobilize it with poisonous gas before the prey even realizes Salandit is there.

Trivia
- Salandit is the third Pokémon to be named after the salamander, the other two being Charmander and Salamence.
- Salandit is the first Poison-type that is able to poison every type, including its own primary type, with its ability Corrosion.
- Salandit is one of the five Pokémon whose evolution depends on its gender. It shares this trait with Burmy, Combee, Kirlia and Snorunt.
- Salandit and its evolution Salazzle are the first Poison/Fire-type Pokémon.
Origin
Salandit is based on a salamander, specifically a fire-bellied newt (which has bright orange markings to warn predators of its poisonous secretions). The fact only females evolve may be a reference to the all-female whiptail lizard. The black marking on its face and the ear-like appendages resemble a mask worn by burglars or possibly ninjas.
Etymology
Salandit is a combination of the words salamander and bandit.
