Pokédex entry
Each version has its own entry.
“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.”
“While basking in the joy of flight generally keeps this Pokémon in high spirits, Salamence turns into an uncontrollable menace if something angers it.”
