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
ALL THESE BULKY ASS STEEL TYPES BETTER HIDE. THEY’RE NOT JUST GETTING POISONED, THEY’RE CATCHING THIS FIRE BLAST TOO GET OUT
Well no one’s gonna switch in their Skarmory or Jirachi on this thing, that’s for sure…
But they might try Heatran
Heatran can take toxic to the face.
Pre-release theorymon is cool!
Heatran is a good counter despite being able to get poison. Salandit can only do Toxic safely upon Heatran switch-in, because Salandit will just eat an Earth Power afterwards (unless Salandit has its own balloon).
Though once Heatran is poisoned though, Salandit can protect the next turn before switching out, to waste time and make the poison run a bit.
Or Salandit gets Earth Power himself.
…and then it depends who’s faster. But I guess this means Heatran and Salandit check each other so it’s not that safe for both to switch in without a balloon up.
I didn’t know that poison-fair pkmns would beautiful like this ….That mean Litten wouldn’t be poison type though, this i orange area actually ignite. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1467893805939.png
Qhut? Dude, your english sucks
He didnt know poison/fire pokemon would look so good. This could mean Litten won’t be fire/poison since this exists already. The move animation for it shows the red pattern on its tail igniting! 😀
People that can’t understand broken English don’t really know English that well themselves.
I’m a pharmacist, I’m required to know what medication a person is referring to based solely on their poor pronunciation, what they use it for, what it looks like. It means I know my field of work well.
The same applies here….at least in my opinion.
Someone mentioned it earlier, but it doesn’t mean Litten won’t be part poison (ie Bulbasaur and Oddish)
Actually this anology doesn’t work. Bulbasaur is grass/poison in its first stage. Litten is only fire in its first stage. I don’t think we’ll be getting that fire/poison litten Evo and I personally believe it’s finally typing will be fire/dark
I never said it was going to be Fire/Poison. I was just trying to say that just because Salandit is Fire/Poison, it doesn’t disprove the possibility of Litten being the same type. I would much have Litten be Fire/Dark, as you do.
If you’re talking about variations within a species or genera, then I can see where you’re coming from. Biodiversity is as vague as it gets.
Sorry for the many replies!
Wow, this new guy is really cool! He looks better in game though honestly… And that ability is really cool, I hope he has good enough stats to make it useful 🙂
I think the official page says it’s not very powerful or something
Well hopefully it evolves.
I’m sure it will. Maybe another Noivern? Fast and frail.
You know who doesn’t like Salandit? Scizor. LOL
And me
#BackOffHaterzzz
Lol
Thought the same thing hahaha
Why do you hate it, you can just one-shot it with your signature moves. <3
He’s scared of an Air Ballon! Earthen should Rock Slide everything.
I already do, or Rock Tomb or the rare Stone Edge
Then I get a whole demeaning speech of everyone throwing in switch-ins or contradictions
But deep down this thing will die easily
You mean you got a taste of your own medicine and didn’t like it.
Interesting.
It’s more noteworthy when you actually like something.
You hating things is the norm
Well I have very very little to be excited about
Rockruff is pretty much on everyone’s team and that irks me and Popplio is being threatened by potential fairy typing outside the rest I have little to no interest in….except maybe Togedemaru but only because I like round spiky creatures
Oh my god.
You’re getting a new generation of Pokemon and you have very little to be excited about?
And the fact that people like Rockruff doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be on your team. If you like it, use it.
Why would you even play these games if they’re not that exciting? It bothers me that you are always negative about everything.
I waited in Kalos for new Ground types and was greatly denied that
And to make matters worse they screwed up nearly every ground mega out there,
So I desire a Ground/Fighting type but fat chance of getting one
I want a Grass/Electric but I’m not sweating. If it happens, it happens. If not, then meh
Bruhhhhh Grass/Electric. Just gonna go now and drop down in tears
I want it to be based on something that’s kind of unexpected too
I want it, I dont even have a preference for design/animal at this moment. I need this dual type to complete my life.
Rotom Mow form is electric/grass
And it’s the only one. I want something unexpected, not a lawn mower
Doesn’t matter it’s still a existing Type combo
Okay? I still want a Grass/Electric that’s an unexpected animal haha
Even if it doesn’t happen, why bother? The games will be great anyhow. I don’t get why you depend your opinion about these games on something that small. Just enjoy all the hype and start becoming more positive sometimes.
I would enjoy it when I got something to be excited about
Otherwise it’s just watching everyone’s wants and likes being appraised while sitting in the corner with nothing watching everyone else have fun
Is a Ground/Fighting Pokémon the only thing you can enjoy about a Pokémon game? That makes me not understand how you have been able to play for all these years…
Because in the past I had plenty of Ground and Fighting types to use (except Hoenn it sucked)
But I truly desire a real Ground/Fighting to use, but they way things are looking it doesn’t seem like it’s ever going to happen
Well they’re experimenting with new type combinations this gen, just look at Salandit and Drampa.
Watch it not make one and make all the ground types weak and useless
We’ll see. Just let’s enjoy all the hype and the new Pokémon, even though they have a different typing than Ground/Fighting! 🙂
Fat <3
You have little to be excited about because you’re a negative person who throws tantrums when they don’t get what they want..
…you should consider being a politician.
Hates anything that isn’t ground type
Not really, he still hates Swampert and a potential Grass/Ground Rowlet evo… <3
hates everything but rhyperior
Rhyperior is a deity though
Still plays Pokemon
He likes stocky women
Hmm ? I wonder that if salandit was ground/poison your opinion wouldve very different
That’s true Salandit walls Scizor. It really can’t do much to it.
I mean… Hidden Power ground? With that Technician it should do a solid 30% to Salandit xD
Lol true it’s a shame Scizor’s special attack is doodoo.
That solid 30% though. Should be an easy 4KO, 3KO with rocks.
AWESOME!!! Def being of my team:
Litten, Pikipek, Rockruff, Salandit, and maybe grubbin but i still have to decide if i really want vikavolt
Again, how are you all making teams without the full Pokedex? I guess the hype is too real. I will be doing an Alola Pokemon only run for my first playthrough similar to X/Y.
I know right? I can only safely say a few will most likely be on my team, the rest are just suggestions until I make the team.
I dunno how people do it xD I need to know more mons
Haha i know i know this is a temporary team but if i find an awesome looking pkmn that wasnt revealed i will most likely catch it a rearrange my team, and i dont want to get the whole pokedex spoiled before i play the game which is why im making a team of the ones we know of
This gen is amazing. I want every Pokemon on my team!
Every Pokemon!
EVERY POKEMON.
Except Fruxish.
Aint no one liking that bitch.
B-but…i like bruxish…
You’re the exception.
A real big exception.
I guess that makes me special and unique xD
<——————–
It’s one of my least favorite Pokémon but maybe my point is invalid haha
Yeah it’s fine, at least Anon’s not alone. Heh heh heh.
I can’t get pass the human lips…
LOL You are aware that there are fish in real life that have human lips, and human teeth right. 😀
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/e8/9f/9a/e89f9a611817e0c2c67f78f799c3aef1.jpg
That doesn’t mean it is fine.
It’s still super freaky and weird boh in rl and in the Pokemon world.
It gives me shivers
LOL It’s based on a Tiger fish I believe, or was it a Trigger fish? Ah whatever. 😀 Yeah it is, but I think that it makes it look unique. 🙂 It’s going to drive me nuts with that damn ability that it has though, because I use quick attack when I’m in a pinch.
Teeth bruh lol
Yes I’m aware but you said you wanted diversity, ergo other water types show this diversity because diversity isn’t secluded to one type of animal.
That too xD I kind of want every Pokemon on my team but I want to know more so I can make my teams for SM
The dilemma is real
I like Bruxish. Drampa is shit
You made me cry
Exactly my feelings haha I have Rowlet….that’s it lol
Rowlet is the best thing that has happened to mankind since condoms.
I like every single comment of yours and thought you maybe wanted to know
Cheers <3
This Pokemon is awesome and makes up for that trash heap dragon we got the other day! Now I’m excited again! Its literally a salamander with a gas mask!
Isn’t it supposed to be some kind of bandana?
I see gas mask but I understand it’s salamander + bandit (rf)
Oh you’re right! Well I suppose it works either way 🙂
Mmph! Mmmph, mmmph!!!
I feel like it’s more like a bandana or a ski mask, since part of its name is supposed to be bandit.
But it can be a mix of those things too :3
wait all the other pokemon revealed didn’t make up for it or did I miss an announcement
Drampa ruined the whole reveal the other day. I don’t care for Grubbin’s 1st stage Evo either but it’s not as bad as Drampa.
how can one pokemon ruin an entire announcement did drampa kill your family
It’s design made me lose hope for the rest of the Gen. I don’t care for Tapu Koko either. It’s just an awful design.
when this was in the same trailer http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/c/cd/Vikavolt.png/250px-Vikavolt.png
That’s the coolest bug type we’ve gotten in a long time. Since Scizor probably.
*cough* scolipede *cough*
Better than Volcarona. Gen 5 is one of my favorites but I like the Gen 2 feel of these designs.
Preach it brother
We need some serious muscle to balance out this gen
If you’re talking about Drampa I don’t like that dude much either.
Grandpa Dragon is bae.
It’s ugliest damn thing we have.
Did you forget about Bruxish?
I like Bruxish. It’s a fish that actually kinda makes sense and doesn’t look soulless.
Kinda makes sense?
Kinda makes sense?
Not mention the placid pokemon Drampa looks more flaccid than anything and it loves to hang around playgrounds and stuff. It’s creepy.
Yeah but which one would you be more surprised to see if you were out scuba diving or something
bruxish
or just a plain ass magikarp
If i go scuba diving i wanna see diverse creatures not goldfish or karps i can look at in ponds
Other water type pokemon?
Bruxish but that doesn’t mean I hate it. Magikarp more so because it might be close to evolving.
Well, it does look placid because it looks calm and even-tempered….until berserk kicks in
um http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/media/uploads/july_01_assets/bruxish.png
Better than Drampa
how
it’s magikarp but it put on a bunch of makeup
Bruh this is like saying that feebas is magikarp in puberty or that basculin is magikarp on steroids
Basculin is just discount magikarp
Yeh that sounds about right.
It looks like Bruxish ate Bruxish
Ugly is the new Sexy
Sorry but I have seen FAR uglier Pokemon. I happen to really love Drampa, and I think he looks very cute. <3
This is so dope! It’s perfect for one of my teams: Rowlet, Komala and Salandit (Tapu Koko is also on the team it’s it’s catchable)
Also, whose playing Pokemon Go?
Me 😀
I just came back from a walk 30 minutes ago and I got some nice catches along the way.
Sadly, there was a Horsea I couldn’t catch unless I wanted to trespass on someone’s yard.
Hopefully, I’ll have a chance to redeem myself and get one ^^
Trespassing is so worth it.
In court you be like
‘…well there was this Horsea you see…’
Judge: Do you swear to be the best like no one ever was?
The judge ends up being a Gym Leader.
Judge: Your verdict will be determined by……a pokemon battle! Go, Cobalion!
I DO I WILL CATCH THEM ALL
If only the world accepted that excuse xD
I don’t blame people though, since, if I saw some random person in my yard looking at their phone, I’d be concerned too
I am, but it was dark when I got it yesterday and it is raining today, so I can’t play it much. I have Bulbasaur and like 5 Rattata
I found these so far
Charmander
Fearow
Raticate
Ratatta
Spearow
Weedle
Venonat
Bellsprout
Eevee
Paras
Oddish
Where did you find some of those??
I will use Salandit to conquer Solgaleo. There, I said it!
Watch out for the Zen Headbutt
can’t wait for skill swap cresselia with salandit
This is my favourite design of Gen 7 so far 🙂
That ability is sexual aswell. :O 🙂
What
Please do not f*ck the salamanders
Well tell them to stop flaunting their cloacas
disgusting
Give it a day or two and we’re bound to see a R34 Salandrit
*sigh*………I hate to admit it……but you’re right……why is the internet so terrible…….?
Damn right I’m right
And I had proof
THEY FUCKING DID IT TO TOGEDEMARU THE DAY AFTER IT CAME OUT
Well that’s disgusting……..lol
Sexual? What? I hope that was a typo ahahaha
It’s weird..
Ugh!!! I really want to use Salandit so bad, but I’m already planning on using Litten! *sigh*…..well I suppose I’ve had overlapping typing Pokemon before I could do it again lol I suppose it also depends on whether I like Litten’s evolutions or not. If not then Salandit with most definitely be on the team for sure!
I like how when they said they were going back to more simplistic designs, they weren’t kidding. This is a salamander with a bandana covering its head. Simple yet it shows what it’s supposed to represent.
Yeah all the Pokemon look very simple in design so far. Maybe that’s why they look so different when compared to the older preexisting Pokemon. They all have great designs that are interesting, but they are also all very simple as far as body parts go.
So Ash brought back Goodra, only for the league it would seem. I think Ash forgot fairy is a new typing. . and one his biggest rivals has one… what middle finger to the grass type. Better catch one before xyz is over! ?
Already confirmed that Ash will beat Sawyer in the semis, so doesnt really matter he has a Slurpuff.
I suddenly want to see a picture of a Goodra holding a Swirlix like a cotton candy, and eating it
That’s Terrible reasoning for having 4 pokemon weak to one typing in the league tho
And stop the spoilers!
Didnt realized you didnt knew this yet lol. Its been all over Pokémon websites, youtube, forum’s etc.
I am so happy! This is the best new Pokemon revealed so far. I can’t wait to see what it evolves into but I’m definetly adding this guy to my team. It’s design is gorgeous. It’s type and ability is amazing. Totally bad ass. I loveeee it.
Also.. after all these years I still don’t know exactly what a real Pokeball would look like.. namely the black line around it..
I feel like I’ve seen the line be a thick bar popping out, caving in.. thin.. wide.. all of the above from official art workings over the years.
Also Its overall size varies..
I don’t know if they shrink and expand in the games because they look on average smaller than the anime
Plus does the button push in??
Is it a white cirlcle with a button or just a pad .. hmm
What? The button in the middle of the Pokeball pushes in to release the Pokemon. Also, they shrink for ease of movement in the games as well.
The button in the center controls the shrink and expand in the anime.. plus I don’t think we have ever seen them shrink in the game..
Also I’m saying the drawing of the pokeball has not been consistent
Oh my gosh! I love it’s ability. And it’s name. And that mask is awesome! (And kinda cute)
I just realized we have a CoroCoro to look forward too. Ever since the Pokemon Company took control of news; the CoroCoros have been lackluster (excluding Rockruff and Komala). I’m still expecting a Gym Leader, 2-3 New Pokemon, and some new areas.
Also, Pokemon GO is Number 1 in the App Store downloads. Additionally, it’s the fifth most grossing iOS game!
Every time something leaks before Corocoro and people think they have something in that to look forward to, I smh :/
When will yall learn?
Exactly.. lol
maybe I’m 100% wrong on this but I thought we got quite a bit of info off corocoro during the months before X/Y and ORAS
That was XYORAS. This time, my guess is that Corocoro has been de-emphasized as the source of info, as you can tell from all the things that are coming out along with date/time announcements by Nintendo…
Coz without having to get tied to a print publication that can be leaked by disgruntled employees or newsstands breaking street date, Nintendo can control the release of info more easily.
Also Rattata is trending on Twitter apparently lol
I don’t think Corocoro will have that much.
I find it creepy that it Attracts males.. . Human males.. like.. wtf.. y. Prepare for all the drawings this will create ?
It’s not in a sexual way……I assume…….I mean…..come right…….? lol
I thought that as well. . But in nature.. irl.. it’s Always sexual. Pokemon can’t just assume we will think differently. It’s gross
Their preparing us for some interesting Pokemon hentai. 😉
Hypno already exists, we don’t need another!
It’s pheromones you dolt
They’re chemicals that bend the behavior and physiology of creatures
Yes their main goal is usually to attract mates but nonetheless they’re basically a secretable hypnosis that can just about affect anything
Do Not speak to me like that. .
Save that for your friend who accept it.
Plus, of course we All know it’s called pheromones. It’s in the Pokemons description.. which we are referring to.
I’ve read studies of male sweat making other males more cooperative
But the fact it says the females only have this effect on males Clearly makes it more of a sexual thing.
But you can go on pretending..
Onix isnt a giant penis
Cloyster a vagina
Dialga
Combuskin
Noibat “looks nothing like a penis either”
Hypnos Dex entry etc
You forgot Reshiram’s fur penis
If you can’t take the Internet and everything it has don’t take any of it
I bet the music is Rival or Evil Grunt music.
It’s the Wild Batte theme tho…
Wasn’t wild battle music the one in the Zygarde trailer?
Yea. It’s the same theme that plays in this Trailer.
Oh.
You can hear the rival music during the e3 footage though. You’ll have to find the no commentary version to hear the most of it.
I don’t know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but it looks like Salandit may be found on the third island (from left to right). I hope we get more Pokemon that prefer the volcanic temperatures.
I thought it was rather obvious due to the rocks, smoke, and lava around.
IS POISON/FIRE AHHHHHHHHHHH
Ikr.. that typing is awesome. People finally getting relevant poison types like they wanted. But it’d dex entry says it’s apparently weak
also that ability? WHEW goodbye to steel walls. hopefully it evolves into a useful competitive pokemon
bye i thought that salandit mask was a trashbag
It’s the skull of its dead mother (Trubbish)
It attracted a Trubbish that got a little too close. 😉
it represent thief mask or bandit.
I think this little fella might be one of my favorites so far (second to Cutiefly, of course). I really need some Ghost types though; Lunala just doesn’t cut it.
I need some more Psychic types.
Sure, there’s Bruxish but I kind of want more
Salandit name origin? Salamander + ??
Bandit
Bandit
Also, I don’t know if someone said it already, but I bet this’ll be the evil team grunt Pokemon.
tea! so it will be a two stage pokemon
I definitely can see it, considering most teams use Poison types and Dark types
