When {{adv|Ruby}} was a child, he {{pkmn|battle}}d a Salamence that attacked him and {{adv|Sapphire}} while the two were playing outside. After being defeated by Ruby and having scarred his forehead with its {{m|Dragon Claw}} in the process, the Salamence went on a rampage and destroyed a lab, freeing {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|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 Contest]]s. 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.

In ''[[PS304|Swanky Showdown with Swalot]]'', [[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. | In ''[[PS304|Swanky Showdown with Swalot]]'', [[Tucker]] is shown to be in possession of another Salamence, with which he defeats Sapphire.

Salamence seems to be based on the archetypal fire-breathing {{wp|European dragon}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|salamander}}, most likely the {{wp|Hida salamander}} or {{wp|Anderson's salamander}}; this is backed up by Salamence featuring three prominent finlets on either side of its head, which can be interpreted as {{wp|external gills}}. These external gills are typical for many species of amphibians. | Salamence seems to be based on the archetypal fire-breathing {{wp|European dragon}}.

Mega Salamence's wing and head shape | Mega Salamence's wing and head shape resemble that of a fighter jet. Alternatively, it might take inspiration from the {{wp|Salamanders in folklore|mythical salamanders}}, as evidenced by its ability to learn numerous {{type|Fire}} moves by leveling up, and its [[Pokédex]] entry describing its propensity for breathing fire. | ||
