Salamence (Japanese: ボーマンダ, HepburnBoomanda) (SAL-uh-mence[1]) 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.

They are in fact highly territorial, going on tremendous rampages when their territories are challenged.

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.

Trivia[]

  • Salamence is one of five Pokémon that can naturally learn a HM move.
  • 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.
  • Salamence shares its category with the Horsea evolution line members, Dratini evolution line members, and Kalosian Goodra. All are known as the Dragon Pokémon.

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.

Salamence might be also inspired by the dragons of the 2002 film Reign of Fire; Salamence's debut was in 2002, 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 bear several remembrances to that of 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.

Etymology[]

Salamence is a combination of salamander, immense and menace.
