From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Salazzle (Japanese: エンニュート Ennewt) is a dual-type Poison/Fire Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
It evolves from female Salandit starting at level 33. Male Salandit are not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Salazzle is a dark gray Pokémon resembling a salamander or lizard. Its thin body has a purple underside with several wavy, dark pink markings: a U-shaped marking with two additional lines inside on its chest and one on each hip resembling wisps of smoke. The dark gray on its head and neck extends slightly onto its chest in a V-shape. It has a slender head with purple, almond-shaped eyes with slit pupils and two fang-like projections on each side of its lower jaw. There are two thin, wavy growths on its back at the base of its tail, which is whip-like with a dark pink underside. Its hands and feet each have five long, thin digits, with dark pink palms that can unleash flames. Salazzle is a female-only species with no known male counterpart, as the male Salandit cannot evolve due to malnutrition.
Salazzle can be found deep in caves with a reverse harem of male Salandit. Salazzle emits a poisonous gas that contains sweet-smelling pheromones, which attracts the males. The gas can also be diluted to make perfumes. Salazzle forces the male Salandit it has attracted to serve it and bring it food, and those that are unable to are punished with flaming slaps. Salazzle fight with each other over male Salandit; the winner is the one with the most male Salandit in its harem. In Generation IX, Fire Lash is its signature move. Prior to Generation IX, Corrosion was its signature Ability.

Salazzle debuted in Rescuing the Unwilling!, under the ownership of Lusamine. With both Salazzle and her Trainer under the influence of a Nihilego, Kiawe volunteered to stay behind and battle Salazzle while Ash and the others continued their pursuit atop Nebby. She was eventually defeated, but in the next episode, Nihilego made her get back up and continue battling until the Ultra Beast was defeated, freeing her from its control.
A Salazzle appeared in Battle Royal 151!, under the ownership of Plumeria. She competed in the Battle Royal round of the Manalo Conference, where she went up against Ilima and his Eevee. Despite Plumeria's efforts, Salazzle was defeated.

Trivia
Origin
Salazzle appears to be based on a salamander—both the poisonous real kind and the fire-associated mythical kind—and lizards of the Teiidae family, also known as "whiptails". Certain whiptail species have a mostly female population, some species even being female exclusive, one of which is the New Mexico whiptail. It may also be partially based on fire belly newts.
Additionally, it may be inspired by the mo'o, a mythical dragon-like lizard of Hawaiian myth. Generally, mo'o are depicted as large female lizards, which have scales that are black as night, and which would shape-shift into seductive women to devour men. They would also appear when fire was lit near or around their dwellings.
Name origin
Salazzle may be a combination of salamander and dazzle or sizzle.
Ennewt may be a combination of 炎 en (flame) or 艶 en (bewitching) and newt.
