The annual Japan Expo, a convention dedicated to anime, games and anything Japanese, is currently being held in France and Pokémon game director Junichi Masuda recently finished a presentation at the event.
Salandit has been revealed! It is a Poison/Fire type and its new ability Corrosion allows it to poison Pokémon that would normally be immune, such as Poison- and Steel-types.
<3 PJ
I KNEW IT.
It’s 4:30AM and I’m hyped as heck.
I’ll update when I can think straight.
POISON/FIRE????
Go to sleep. We need your Third Eye for more predictions!
So here is the pokemon that all the people wanted a fire poison pokemon
HOLY SHIT
CATEGORY Toxic Lizard Pokémon
TYPE Poison/Fire
HEIGHT 2’00”
WEIGHT 10.6 lbs.
ABILITY Corrosion
Salandit emits toxic gas, together with flames, from the base of its tail. This poisonous gas has a sweet smell, and anyone who unknowingly breathes it in will become dizzy. Salandit is not a very powerful Pokémon, but its cunning nature allows it to battle fiercely by throwing its opponents off balance.
Salandit females not only release toxic gases, they can also emit pheromones that attract males of all species, including Pokémon and humans. Inhaling these pheromones may cause opponents to be controlled by Salandit’s will.
Salandit has the Corrosion Ability, a new Ability that no other Pokémon has possessed before. With the Corrosion Ability, it becomes possible to inflict the Poisoned status condition even on Steel- and Poison-type Pokémon.
I’m in love
well,it is CONTROLLING me to add it to my team
Gen 7 my #1 bae now, fact
It has a very very good design. I love it!!!
Y’all got your Fire/Poison type
NOW WHERE THE HELL IS MY GROUND/FIGHTING TYPE
I need Electric/Fighting to be truly happy.
Electivire should’ve been electric/fighting
Everyone thinks that but there really isn’t solid evidence for it being one
Exactly! The Pokemon will be a monster with Iron Fist!
Still waiting for a pika-clone gerbil/gerboa line with that typing
This is the second Alola Pokémon to have a 4x weakness against ground.
I know sucks for them
Good no ground types were revealed so far. Lol.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Awesome. This Pokemon is cool.
It looks amazing. Great design. Can’t wait to see it’s evolution should be a amazing.
Hopefully we’ll get a good Posion type gym as well
They didn’t show it but I wonder if the ability allows it to Poison Komala.
I WANT ASH TO CATCH SALANDIT!
Woah, cool! I like the design a lot and the ability is really cool. It appears to speedy too, which is a plus. GF seems to be going all out with the new typings.
We finally got a Fire/Poison Type! I guess Litten will not end up being one. I love the seaign and vibes I’m getting from this Pokemon!
Litten will end up Fire/Ground
I hope for Fire/Dark I mean come on its a BLACK CAT what doesn’t scream Dark about it!
And Popplio I want it Only Water because it’s a great type to solo with better than all but a few
Could you image how amazing Salandit will be in competitive battles? Poisoning every type of Pokemon with the Corrosion ability! GameFreak is a bunch of competitively viable Pokemon!
New in-game team
Rowlet/Popplio
Rockruff
Salandit
And to make matters worse keep getting bad showdown match-ups
This day is just getting worse
Awesome
Fuck off, stone edge should’ve killed Volbeat but nope missed twice and got a full two tail glows in
How is the day bad when we just got a new pokemon revealed?
Salty there are no new ground pokemon
Sweet new pokemon and new type combo. Love it. This thing also looks really cool. I hope it evolves definitely gets a 9/10 might even use it. I swear these pokemon are just getting better and better. Sun and Moon pokemon overall have been amazing.
Agreed. If it has an awesome evolution line, I’d use it!
Be ready to rely on Air Balloons and Focus Sashes for the rest of this things life
Just one ground type move and its fucking dead
I’ll send out a Water, Grass, or Ice Type instead…
You can’t always have that to back it up, and don’t forget
Rock, water, psychic weakness which are everywhere
I cant always have it back me up but always have a plethora of ground type pokemon available is that so? Just trying to get a hypothetical situation in favor so you feel better about yourself
No shit, I want to freaking win by throwing this things 4x weakness to Ground Types
Sorry but I have yet to see any new Pokemon I like and I’m sick of seeing everyone get so excited
Lol then get out of a pokemon community if you dont want to see people excited about pokemon.
Lol. It’s because no Ground Types have been revealed.
Or fighting
Of what I see so far this is going to be filled with Electric and Fairy types
Interesting, considering you said you like Rockruff but didn’t want to use it because other people like it too
I don’t like them…how dare other people like them.
Lololol. You’re funny Earthern. Slightly troubled, but hilarious.
Rot in hell
Lol let me stay in with my pokemon weak to ground. Its the only logical thing to do!
This isnt the anime bub im gonna switch out when i need to
That’s why I’m pushing to find a Mean Look Krookodile
Because im definitely gonna stay in long enough for mean look to work on me. Lol just get pursuit
Fine then Arena Trap Dugtrio
Well done you finally got there.
Now you have to resort to using a crappy Dugtrio…..lol
Still can do plenty with Dugtrio
Focus Sash reversal into momento
Lol. Can a Dugtrio even survive that long?
Not long but his insane speed allows him to either set up or that gimmick niche, I’m not doubting its frailness but with the right combination of plays it can be fairly useful
Then i will flamethrower and burn you so sash doesnt work and youre ded. Teehee i win
Try out speeding a Dugtrio
Try breaking my sash
Sucker punch
And arent you the one switching in dugtrio so it just gets hurt on switch
No I send out the Dugtrio to fight Salandrit
Lol. Who the hell will stay in with a Krookodike going aganist this Pokemon? Your just going to lock in a Water-Type.
That’s why I switch to Seismitoad he pretty much handles all my Water Types
How does he handle HP Grass, or even a nice Toxic.
Dude he’s max Sp Def with an assault vest he’s survived a leaf storm
Max Sp Def with Assault Vest, so I can just switch in any Water Type with Toxic and you can’t do anything to it. Cool.
Water Absorb
And I can still try to poison or burn back
How could you burn the Pokemon?
Scald duhhh and Sludge Bomb
I said try
Water Absorb only blocks Water moves.
Sludge Bomb inflicts normal Poison, Not Toxic Poison so I will always win.
Scald can only Burn, which again wins against Toxic Poison.
And you can’t use Toxic cos you have assault vest.
I said I use Sludge Bomb, I never said Toxic
And if against a Poison type I would just use Earth Power
Or if Crobat just scald until burnt
I’m saying if I use Toxic and YOU use Sludge Bomb I will always beat Seismitoad.
Dude just face it, I can 6-0 you with Salandit alone.
Why would I sludge bomb a poison type I can Earth Power it
So Salandrit can beat all my Earthen Warriors?
Yeh because I can’t switch right.
Heatran is 4x weak to Ground.
Tyranitar is 4x weak to Fighting.
This is how vanishes the possibility for litten to be fire/poison…
Geeee I’ve been saying this for a while
I think they should be Fire/Ground obsidian lava tiger
Well yea. Litten’s either going to be Fire or Fire/Ground.
Or fire/fighting 🙂
We don’t speak of that type around here.
How dare you I’ve never heard of such ignorance.
Like it or not, but it’s always a possibility
Yeah I know I actually see people think GF won’t ever make another fire/fighting and I tell them GF is a troll they’ll sneak one pass you watch
Please make it Fire/Dark it looks like the Houndoom’s Cat apprentice.
I first saw this while I was Facebook. Also, He looks like a Lizard mixed with an Anteater.
or it looks like a Lizard mixed with a Bandit. 😮
Yeah I was thinking that’s were it gets its name salandit “salamander” “bandit” and “lit”
This came to mind what Salandrit could evolve into

Holy moly!! I’m pretty sure a jungle commentor almost called this ability a few days ago – only they said an attack that is super effective against steel called ‘corrosive acid’! What are the chances!!!
It was close in concept, but not quite. My proposal was an attack rather than an ability, and it was like Freeze-Dry except Poison vs Steel instead of Ice vs Water.
I doubt Salandit’s poison-type attacks can still hit steel-types.
But still, what are the chances! <3
Salandit’s poison type attacks can hit poison and steel types. The trailer shows Salandit’s attack hitting a Zubat and a Skarmory.
Remember this post?

I had that idea for years
I called it Caustic Acid
English trailer is out too, but I guess it was revealed in Japan.
Here’s the UK one.

You mean the one posted literally in the article
No.
Dude it’s the same one
With PEGI ratings. Which means I agree.
seems like a very good addition to team rocket!
Yh tru, I won’t be surprise if Jessie or james catch one in the S&M anime
Finally a poison/fire pokemon that is base off toxic salamander lizard,love the design …kinda remind me of that creature from tremor thou
Some guy (not here) just told me there should only 15-20 new pokemon each new generation. So that’d be the starters, two legendaries, and 4-9 more pokemon. What a joke.
That B*stard
He must’ve been high or something. Something was definitely not right upstairs.
