Salamence is a powerful Pokémon that looks like a dragon with wings! It's a Dragon and Flying type, which means it can use awesome dragon and flying moves. Many fans call it a 'pseudo-legendary' Pokémon because it's super strong, almost as powerful as a legendary Pokémon! It has two earlier forms before it becomes Salamence, and its total power level (called 'base stats') is very high, making it one of the strongest non-legendary Pokémon around.
What is Salamence?
Salamence is a unique Pokémon known for its strong attacks and ability to fly. It's part of the Dragon type, which often means it has high attack power. Being a Flying type also gives it speed and resistance to certain moves. Salamence evolves from a Pokémon called Shelgon. Before that, it starts as a small Pokémon named Bagon.
Mega Evolution: A Power Boost
