Biology

Salandit can only evolve into Salazzle if it is a female. It burns its bodily fluids to create a poisonous gas. When its prey become disoriented from inhaling the gas, it attacks them.

Because male Salandit repeatedly offer their food to females, they suffer from malnutrition and are unable to evolve.

This sneaky Pokémon will slink behind its prey and immobilize it with poisonous gas before the prey even realizes Salandit is there.
Shield
Its venom sacs produce a fluid that this Pokémon then heats up with the flame in its tail. This process creates Salandit’s poisonous gas.
Sword
It weakens opponents and sends them reeling with its poisonous gas. Salandit doesn’t deal well with Spinda, since it’s always reeling.
Ultra Moon
The males will do whatever the females tell them. They give the females most of their food. Due to malnutrition, the males can’t evolve.
Ultra Sun
Volcanoes or dry, craggy places are its home. It emanates a sweet-smelling poisonous gas that attracts bug Pokémon, then attacks them.
Moon
It burns its bodily fluids to create a poisonous gas. When its enemies become disoriented from inhaling the gas, it attacks them.
