Salandit
Say it: SA-la-ndi-t
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Salandit is the Toxic Lizard Pokémon — Poison and Fire before Salazzle. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Salazzle — not a finished raid attacker. Poison/Fire hits Grass, Bug, Ice, Steel, and Fairy well; Ground, Water, Psychic, and Rock punish it. Catch Salandit from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve (female evolve rule — confirm live).

Salandit (#757) is a Poison / Fire Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Salazzle. Trainers almost never power Salandit for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Salazzle.
