'''Tupp's Salandit''' (Japanese: '''タッパヤトウモリ''' ''Tupper's Yatoumori'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned by [[Tupp]] from [[Team Skull]]. Tupp is shown to own three of them.

==History==
{{incomplete|section|2=Roles in SM128, SM129, and SM135}}
They first appeared alongside two others in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''. They were sent out to battle {{an|Kiawe}} for his {{p|Charizard}}, fighting alongside [[Rapp]]'s {{p|Zubat}} and [[Zipp]]'s {{p|Yungoos}}. {{Ash}} intervened in the battle, since it was nine against one; he sent {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle alongside {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}. After a short battle, Turtonator defeated Salandit with {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}. After this, Tupp was shown using only one Salandit.

Tupp used Salandit once more in ''[[SM011|Young Kiawe Had a Farm!]]'', where it fired {{m|Dragon Rage}} to shoot down the [[Poké Ride|Ride]] {{p|Pelipper}} that Ash was riding on, to seek revenge for their previous defeat. Afterwards, it was defeated when Pikachu used {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}.

In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', Salandit attacked the [[Pokémon School]] and briefly battled [[Ash's Litten]], who was under the command of {{Delia}} at the moment. It was then defeated by Pikachu with Gigavolt Havoc.

In ''[[SM025|A Team-on-Team Tussle!]]'', Salandit attempted to get a [[Darkinium Z]], only for {{TRT}} to get it first.

In ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]'', Salandit was sent out to battle {{an|Gladion}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Lycanroc|Midnight Form}} {{p|Lycanroc}}. It was defeated by Lycanroc's {{m|Stone Edge}}.

In ''[[SM065|Turning Heads and Training Hard!]]'', Salandit took on [[Ilima]]'s {{p|Eevee}}. It was defeated after its opponent enhanced its stats with {{m|Extreme Evoboost}}.

In ''[[SM068|Real Life...Inquire Within!]]'', Salandit battled Pikachu again during an attempt to catch {{AP|Poipole}}. However, the battle ended when Zipp's {{p|Garbodor}}'s arm became blocked, causing it to release a horrible smell. This prompted everyone to retreat.

In ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', Salandit was drawn by Zipp as a part of a challenge from [[Mina]] to see whom could produce the best drawing of one of their Pokémon. When Tupp and his fellow Team Skull members became angry, they attacked Mina. With the help of Ash, Mina defeated the Team Skull trio and sent them running away in fear.

In ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', Salandit was relaxing on the beach, only to be {{m|Tackle}}d by an [[Sandy|Eevee]]. Salandit was then used to attack Ash and his classmates, only to be sent flying by Eevee's {{m|Double-Edge}}.

In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Salandit was sent out to battle [[Hapu]] and her {{p|Mudsdale}}. Mudsdale withstood all of Salandit, Zubat, and Garbodor's attacks before quickly defeating them with {{m|High Horsepower}}.

Salandit reappeared in ''[[SM128|League Offenders and Defenders!]]'', ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', and ''[[SM135|The Final Four!]]''.

==Personality and characteristics==
Salandit is loyal to Tupp and doesn't hesitate to follow his orders, including attacking defenseless Pokémon. For example, in ''[[SM011|Young Kiawe Had a Farm!]]'', it shot a {{m|Dragon Rage}} at a {{p|Pelipper}} who had no idea it was coming. Despite this, Salandit has shown concern for its teammates, such as in ''[[SM025|A Team-on-Team Tussle!]]'', where it got distracted from getting the Darkinium Z when it heard {{p|Garbodor}} and {{p|Zubat}} in pain, only for Tupp to tell it to focus on the job.

Whenever it is not battling, Salandit enjoys relaxing, as seen in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', when it was on the beach.

Despite its tough nature, Salandit can be easily intimidated, as seen in [[SM104]], when it found itself up against [[Hapu]] and her {{p|Mudsdale}}.
