08 //Pokédex entries
While basking in the joy of flight generally keeps this Pokémon in high spirits, Salamence turns into an uncontrollable menace if something angers it.
Salamence is an unusual Pokémon in that it was able to evolve a body with wings just by constantly wishing to be able to fly.
Thanks to its fervent wishes, the cells in its body finally mutated, and at last it has its heart’s desire—wings.
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.
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.
When angered, it loses all sense of itself and destroys everything around it. The destruction will continue until Salamence has tired itself out.
