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 short lines with round tips on its back. This line sometimes flares up when it attacks. At the base of its neck are two short, flat spines. 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.

From the base of its tail, Salandit can emit both a toxic gas and flames. The gas has a sweet odor that causes dizziness. 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. While it is not a powerful Pokémon, it is able to unbalance opponents with its cunning techniques.

A Salandit appeared in Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!, where it tried to take the Pokémon Egg that Lillie was looking after but was soon seen off.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Two Salandit are owned by a pair of Team Skull Grunts. They were first used in PASM01 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 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.
• Salandit is one of two Pokémon of which only the female is able to evolve, the other being Combee

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. It also shares similairities with bandits, who are often depicted as having bandanas, masks or sacks covering their head to hide their face, represented by the colour of its head. Sometimes, burglars and other types of criminals are referred to as "snakes", which are also reptiles.

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).
