Biology

Salandit can only evolve into Salazzle if it is a female. It burns its bodily fluids to create a poisonous gas. When its prey become disoriented from inhaling the gas, it attacks them.

Because male Salandit repeatedly offer their food to females, they suffer from malnutrition and are unable to evolve.

  1. This sneaky Pokémon will slink behind its prey and immobilize it with poisonous gas before the prey even realizes Salandit is there.

    Shield

  2. 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.

    Sword

  3. It weakens opponents and sends them reeling with its poisonous gas. Salandit doesn’t deal well with Spinda, since it’s always reeling.

    Ultra Moon

  4. 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 Sun

  5. Volcanoes or dry, craggy places are its home. It emanates a sweet-smelling poisonous gas that attracts bug Pokémon, then attacks them.

    Moon

  6. It burns its bodily fluids to create a poisonous gas. When its enemies become disoriented from inhaling the gas, it attacks them.
