Flavor Text

Generation 5
Black, White, Black 2, White 2

As a result of its long-held dream of flying, its cellular structure changed, and wings grew out.

Generation 6
X

It becomes uncontrollable if it is enraged. It destroys everything with shredding claws and fire.

Y

It’s uncontrollable if enraged. It flies around spouting flames and scorching fields and mountains.

Omega Ruby

Salamence came about as a result of a strong, long-held dream of growing wings. It is said that this powerful desire triggered a sudden mutation in this Pokémon’s cells, causing it to sprout its magnificent wings.

Alpha Sapphire

By evolving into Salamence, this Pokémon finally realizes its long-held dream of growing wings. To express its joy, it flies and wheels all over the sky while spouting flames from its mouth.

Generation 7
Sun

When angered, it loses all sense of itself and destroys everything around it. The destruction will continue until Salamence has tired itself out.

Moon

It flies around on its wings, which have grown in at last. In its happiness, it gushes hot flames, burning up the fields it passes over.

Ultra Sun

Overjoyed at finally being able to fly, it flies all over the place and usually doesn’t land until it’s completely exhausted and needs to sleep.

Ultra Moon

Thanks to its fervent wishes, the cells in its body finally mutated, and at last it has its heart’s desire—wings.
