Salamence is a quadruped, draconic Pokémon with a long, tapering tail. It is primarily blue with a gray lower jaw and thickly scaled underside. There are red markings on its throat, the underside of its tail, and stripes on the inner surface of its legs. Additionally, there are raised red ridges above its eyes. Three flat spines protrude from either side of its head, somewhat resembling external gills. It has two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Each of its short legs has three claws. This Pokémon’s powerful desire to fly triggered a mutation that allowed it to grow large, red wings. As an expression of joy, it flies around and releases blasts of fire. However, when it is angry, it will shred things with its claws and release blasts of fire. This Pokémon is found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain}}.

As Mega Salamence, its wings meld together into a single huge, crescent-shaped wing, while the rest of its body looks more streamlined. Its tail is shorter, and its underside markings grow in size to allow it to tuck in its front legs. Its head spines grow longer, and the ones directly on the side of its head turn inwards and reach its mouth. The underside of its mouth turns red, matching the markings on its neck. When flying at high speeds, this wing becomes a great blade, slicing through anything loitering in its way.<ref>http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-gb/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-salamence</ref> According to [[SS031|the anime]], Mega Salamence's are hard and supple, but can be used as blades in mid-air battles.
As Mega Salamence, its wings meld together into a single huge, crescent-shaped wing. Due to its wings' very hard, yet very flexible properties, they can be used as blades in mid-air battles. Its face, neck body and tail are narrower, with its tail noticeably shorter in length. The ridges above its eyes are now far less prominent, and it no longer possesses the thick, gray scaling over its lower jaw. Instead, the smooth red flesh underneath has been left exposed, increasing its streamline appearance. The upper pair of fins resting on the sides of its head now sport an elongated, tapered design. The lower pair has not changed much; however, the middle set now take the form of quarter-arches, spanning towards the bridge of the nose. The remnants of its shelled underbelly has been drastically transformed into a segmented, much more aerodynamic, vest-like armored frame. This frame encases its chest and shoulders, with the pieces interlocking whenever Mega Salamence tucks in its front forelegs.
