Flavor Text |
 | Sun | When angered, it loses all sense of itself and destroys everything around it. The destruction will continue until Salamence has tired itself out. |
Moon | It flies around on its wings, which have grown in at last. In its happiness, it gushes hot flames, burning up the fields it passes over. | Ultra Sun | Overjoyed at finally being able to fly, it flies all over the place and usually doesn’t land until it’s completely exhausted and needs to sleep. | Ultra Moon | Thanks to its fervent wishes, the cells in its body finally mutated, and at last it has its heart’s desire—wings. |  | Sun | Anyone standing in its path gets sliced right in two, while this Pokémon continues its flight without interruption. |
Moon | Mega Evolution fuels its brutality, and it may even turn on the Trainer who raised it. It’s been dubbed “the blood-soaked crescent.” | Ultra Sun | The stress of its two proud wings becoming misshapen and stuck together because of strong energy makes it go on a rampage. | Ultra Moon | It puts its forelegs inside its shell to streamline itself for flight. Salamence flies at high speeds over all kinds of topographical features. |
