Salamence (Japanese: ボーマンダ Bohmander) is a dual-type Dragon/Flying pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
It evolves from Shelgon starting at level 50. It is the final form of Bagon.
Biology
Salamence is a quadruped dragon-like Pokémon, who has newly grown large, red wings. Although primarily blue, it possesses accentuations of red and gray coloration. The red-colored portions of its body include its aforementioned wings, eyebrows, neck, and the undersides of its tail and limbs. The gray portions include its lower jaw and its belly. It has three spiky extensions splayed from the sides of its face similar to the external gills of some salamanders, hence the name. It uses fire and its shredding claws to destroy things when it becomes angry and uncontrollable. Due to it having wings, it flies around and lets out blasts of fire to express its joy. It lives in rough terrains."
In the animeIn the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
When Ruby was a child, he battled a Salamence that attacked him and Sapphire while the two were playing outside. After being defeated by Ruby (and having scarred his forehead with its Dragon Claw in the process), the Salamence went on a rampage and destroyed a lab, freeing Rayquaza, which was in captivity at that time, in the process. This resulted in Norman being banned from the Gym Leader test for five years. This encounter changed both Ruby and Sapphire and their views on Pokémon, as well as themselves. In Ruby's case, he felt he was too strong, and in order to keep himself back, he focused on Pokémon Contests. Sapphire, on the other hand, felt weak after the encounter and decided she had to become stronger, and spent much of her time in the wild honing her battle skills.
Years later, in the Emerald arc, Dome Ace Tucker is shown to be in possession of another Salamence, with which he defeats Sapphire. While Sapphire acknowledges the man's overwhelming skill, she also adds that such a Pokémon is a hard one to fight against with her phobic old experience many years back.
