Salandit (Japanese: ヤトウモリ Yatoumori) is a dual-type Poison/Fire Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

Female Salandit evolve into Salazzle starting at level 33. Male Salandit are not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Salandit is a small, black Pokémon resembling a salamander or lizard. Its body is dark gray with a black head and feet. Along its back and down its tail is an orange-red line. This marking splits into four short lines with round tips at the base of its tail. At the base of its neck are two short, flat spines, which create the impression of a mask or bandanna tied around its head. Its eyes are light purple with slit pupils and there are several tooth-like protrusions along its upper jaw. Each foot has four pointed toes.

Salandit is found around volcanoes or arid environments. From the marking at the base of its tail, it can emit both a toxic gas and flames. The gas is created by burning body fluids and has a sweet odor that causes dizziness. However, Bug Pokémon are attracted to the scent and are common prey. The female can also release pheromones that attract males of all species, including humans. Additionally, these pheromones may cause opponents to be controlled by this Pokémon's will. Because of this, male Salandit offers its food to females, leaving it malnourished and unable to evolve. While it is not a powerful Pokémon, it is able to unbalance opponents with its cunning techniques. It does have difficulty with Spinda, since that Pokémon is already off balance.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Two Salandit are owned by a pair of Team Skull Grunts. They were first used in The Grand Entrance and Delivery Boy Sun to scout out the Hau'oli City Beachfront to see if Sun had cleared the area of wild Pyukumuku. When Moon sees the female Grunt placing a Pyukumuku on the beach in order to make it seem that Sun didn't do the job properly, Grunt A commands his Salandit to smack Moon with its tail. Eventually, both were defeated by Sun's Meowth, nicknamed Dollar.

Trivia

• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Salandit and its evolution.
  • Salandit and its evolution are also the only Poison-type Pokémon with a double resistance to Fairy-type moves.

Origin

Salandit appears to be based on a salamander, some species of which are toxic. It may draw specific inspiration from the Japanese fire belly newt, which has similar coloration to Salandit. In legends, salamanders are also commonly associated with fire and in some cases poisons. It also shares some similarities to lizards, as well as with bandits.

Name origin

Salandit may be a combination of salamander and bandit.

Yatoumori may be a combination of 夜盗 yatō (burglar) and 井守 imori (newt).
