Salamence (Japanese: ボーマンダ Bohmander) is a Dragon/Flying-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon Emerald

After many long years, its cellular structure underwent a sudden mutation to grow wings. When angered, it loses all thought and rampages out of control.

Name origin

Salamence's name may be a combination of salamander and menace. Its Japanese name is also based on salamander.

It appears to be based on European dragons.
