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.

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