It's an interesting notion that the dex entries imply male Salandits could evolve if they weren't compelled to spend all their energy catering to a Salazzle. I wonder what such a creature would be like?
@@PorygonBugado yeah idk what Salazzle did in the run up to Gen 9 but clearly Gamefreak were not pleased to where they stripped its signature ability and type combination away from it. (Drampa joins the club thanks to Cyclizar stealing its signature typing)
Top 5 randbat goats I've had the displeasure of facing in no particular order: 1. salazzle - enough said in comments. 2 sigilyph - cosmic power set. Comes in when you’re locked into an unfavorable choice move and it’s gg. 3. tropius (this gen) - cancer inducing. We’ve all experienced it this gen. 4. galarian mr mime - one nasty plot and that bulky pokemon is sweeping. It’s not gimmicky, but just so strong with its high level, bull, and insane coverage. 5.last respects pokemon - glad they removed this. You truly never knew how the game would end until your opponent showed all 6 Pokémon. Fluffy is OP AF on a randbat last respects Pokémon.
> be me > Pokémon showdown randbats > opponents lead is Salazzle > substitute, toxic, protect, flamethrower > forfeit and destroy the nation of Hungary
Fire/Poison is a novel combo. Despite the 4x weakness to Ground, it's one of the only three type combos to quad resist Fairy. Plus, Fire typically can deal with Steel types, which are immune to Poison. You might need to instantly wipe out an opposing Steel type instead of wearing it down with Toxic Corrosion.
For those interested in National Dex Salazzle currently resides in NDPU, also seeing occasional useage is NDNU, it excels in NDPU using all 3 of Choice Scarf, Nasty Plot and Substitute Protect. In NDNU the Scarf Set is not used but both Nasty Plot and the so called "Stallazzle" see use.
I mean, what else can I say about Salazzle? It’s a great Pokémon. Slick design with a great color combo (base or shiny), cool as hell typing in Fire/Poison, and the ability to poison whatever it wants. Salazzle is simply him (or her in this case)
I had a desert grassland whip-tail lizard and I named her Riley. Eventually she did pass, but I named my first Salazzle after her (given my Riley’s species can only be female). She’s in a nest ball for comfort, in Scarlet with her Alola champion ribbon, and Tera Grass to match her hidden power. Final note is I wish corrosion made it to where I could sludge wave those darn steel types, now she’s Oblivious setting up nasty plots destroying everything 😈
GameFreak: "WE ARE MAKING A POISON TYPE THAT CAN POISON ANYTHING!" Players: "Is it actually built to do that, or did you design a glass cannon with an incongruous ability?"
Corrosion is one of those abilities that i wished got buffed. Making poison super effective to steel types would have been really good. Also making Acid, Acid spray super effective against steel types would be a good buff. Also making Sludge/bomb super effective to water types would be interesting too.
Why are people saying the male would have more bulk. Most mons and most actual animals, the male is stronger, the female has more endurance, see humans or see nido line
@@umwha And thinks of the various mons that can no longer switch into Salazzle if it could hit say... a Steel/Fairy type or a Steel/Grass type super effectively with Sludge Wave... I'm sure that Salazzle would appreciate not needing a risk Fire Blast misses to hit Empoleon or the many Dragon/Steel types for neutral damage as well
@@roanvanhouten2146 Maybe, but we gotta know!!! We can't just have Zangoose have all the stardom, why cover only the one? Even if Seviper was bad, a video on him would be awesome
Back when generation seven launched, I committed to not looking up anything during my first playthrough. I loved the look of Salandit, caught one, trained it. Trained it some more. Kept training it.. got to level 55.. .. it was a male.
In my first playthrough of Ultra Moon, I used a Salazzle. When I looked up what coverage it had I was pleasantly surprised by it... until I realized they were all physical moves... so... flamethrower, sludge bomb, toxic, dragon pulse it is... or was. Suffice it to say it barely got any use at all. Which made me sad cause it's a really cool mon.
I think GameFreak made the right call. Corrosion would be far more obnoxious on a defensive Pokémon that has many chances to spam immunity-free Toxics. And a Pokemon with a great Special Attack stat getting guaranteed critical hits would also be annoying.
I love the consistenticy of Salazle getting the jump on the 3 115 base speed pokemon that keep togheter in UU. Even if she is never there by usage she is always stalking those 3 from the shadows haha.
I remember doing something like "Fast Stall." with her. I went full HP and Speed EVs, and the moveset was: Flamethrower, Encore, Toxic, Protect. It was working extremely well.
Salazzle being able to poison both steel and poison type Pokémon certainly was a nice ability as no other Pokémon can accomplish that feat. With a dual type set that gives Salazzle the advantage over grass, poison, steel, fairy, ice and bug plus learning dragon pulse gives the toxic fire lizard a super effective move against the nearly unstoppable dragon type Pokémon.
My Salazzle in Sun and Moon wasn't exactly the star of the team, but she put in work. Corrosion didn't get much use because I'd just use Flamethrower on any steel type that came in anyway. Let's see how Competitive does it.
waiting for the counterparts to complete: - Carracosta - Seviper - other gen 5 monkeys - Gothitelle - Alola Starters - Tornadus - Aromatisse And I guess we could finish up Gen 2 with Sunflora, Magcargo (Slugma Male Grindset paying off when?) and Corsola. I think those are the only gen 2 Pokemon left to wrap it up.
Imagine the turn of fate if Toxapex and Salazzle swapped their signature abilities. Salazzle could have made for a fun crit sweeper with Merciless, and Toxapex with Corrosion would be maybe 75% as annoying as Regenerator Toxapex.
Im sure someone's going to expect a weird comment regarding the pokemons design, but honestly i find it cool to have another vesbiqueen style mon. Been awhile since we got one of those
What I like a out Salazzle os that it's the ultimate anti stall pokémon. Its fast, it has taunt, can poison steel and other poison types and set up. Salazzle is not hard to KO, but it is very hard to play defensively against it
I’ve always found it strange that she’s so much faster than most Aslowlan Pokémon. Also, I hate the Totem Salazzle that nearly gave me a full-party kill in my (still-ongoing) Sun Nuzlocke.
I still remember how long it took for me in Pokémon Sun to find and catch a female Salandit because I wanted to use Salazzle on my team after seeing what Corrosion can do.
If they decide to rework Corrosion in Gen 10, I would suggest they buff it so that whoever has the ability can deal super-effective to Steel and Poison type Pokemon with poison type attacks (On top of being able to Poison/Toxic Steel and Poison type Pokemon). I also suggest then maybe giving it to a few other poison type Pokemon that need buffs like Kantonian Muk, Garbodor, and Skuntank.
She'd likely appreciate some Ground coverage (as weird as that may sound) outside of Hidden Power/Tera Blast to really stick it to those to resist both her STABs & utility that include Knock Off with a buffed Corrosion or a Poison equivalent of Foresight/Miracle Eye. This would likely turn her even better in the lower tiers
Make corrosion affect toxic spikes which means only heavy duty boot Pokémon and flying types are safe, which is still a lot but it’s better than nothing
I had a modest male Salazzle that I kept on my team. Just like with Charjabug, I didn’t want to lean how it evolved by looking up how to do it other than in game. I caved in right before the Elite Four and I never felt more disappointed with the franchise as a whole by having me get fully invested in a Pokemon just to have it never be able to evolve because he wasn’t female…. I wasted way to many hours of my life trying to find a modest female Salazzle😅 seriously, it should’ve had a lore book, breeder, a day care assistant or, dex entry saying it at least.

I still feel like Corrosion should have worked like a Poison-type Scrappy and let it damage Steel types with Poison type attacks.
True
I think the thing is even the name "corrosion" implies gradual damage over time. So conceptually, it makes sense that it doesn't just allow immediate big damage
Absolutely
@@shikarixox1195 I feel like it would be cool if it was even a resisted hit rather than immune for offenses.

Still convinced that Corrosion should've made it so that Poison moves were neutral on Steel types + you can poison Steel and Poison types.
I mean, what else can I say about Salazzle? It’s a great Pokémon. Slick design with a great color combo (base or shiny), cool as hell typing in Fire/Poison, and the ability to poison whatever it wants. Salazzle is simply him (or her in this case)

Salazzle is so cool. Corrosion can be pretty clutch sometimes, especially against very stally Mons. My second favorite fire type!

Rip to all shiny hunters that got a male salandit
Thank you for your sympathy
I surprise traded mine in a fit a of rage
It'd be cool to see some sort of corrosive acid move that works like a poison-type Freeze-Dry, where it deals super effective damage to steel types.
Feel like they can repurpose acid into it.
Btw, Firium Z Encore Salazzle in Gen 7 OU is a good fit on some balance teams, good progress maker, speed tier and emergency maw check
LET'S GO, I LOVED USING THIS THING IN TIER SHIFT!
It's in my top 20 favorite Pokémon.
I still wish corrosion made poison hit neutral against steel...
And fire should be neutral to rock
Actually what it should do is make all poison and steel NVE match ups neutral!
we need a scrappy variant for poison types alongside electric, psychic, ground, and dragon
maybe even another for ghost hitting normal
Gamefreak totally could have had a solid dark/poison type as a male evolution. Maybe it can have more bulk and less sweep.
Why are people saying the male would have more bulk. Most mons and most actual animals, the male is stronger, the female has more endurance, see humans or see nido line
@danka1167 because it would make it more unique.. You might be taking it too seriously. Lol
Shout out to Fire-Poison, one of the coolest type combos
To be fair to Salazzle, it's the only pokemon that isn't Eternatus that can pull off the strongest venoshock in pokemon without tera, so there's that.
Stronger than Gengar or Iron Moth?
@@teddyhaines6613 Well now I stand corrected.
@@teddyhaines6613 or Naganadel
Bros just lying 😭. But salazzle has a practical use of venoshock due to corrosion so prob the most reliable venoshock in the game

I already hate Toxapex. The thought of one with Corrosion makes me wanna stick my hand in a paper shredder.

I ran this in monotype fire a lot. Air balloon and encore, throw it into an earthquake, force a switch with encore and get free sub or toxic
Im sure someone's going to expect a weird comment regarding the pokemons design, but honestly i find it cool to have another vesbiqueen style mon. Been awhile since we got one of those
Salazzle? Color me dazzled
I hate this Pokemon because it reminds me of my hot, toxic ex 😔
You may need to start dating humans.
Oof. That’s gotta hurt
Yikes.
She reminds me sexyy red and hood rats 😂
She still single?
Whip tail lizards can kinda clone themselves
Ironically, Glimmora also has the ability Corrosion but you never see it or most didn't know it because Toxic Debris is too good
Yeah, Glimmora is AWESOME. Says a lot it has never dropped out of OU as of now.
This thing was my last minute Fire type for the end of my Sword playthrough. She served me well.
How is Scrafty not covered yet? I love the lil guy

Also, I hate the Totem Salazzle that nearly gave me a full-party kill in my (still-ongoing) Sun Nuzlocke.

Am I the only one who thinks of that shofu dis track when salazzle is mentioned?
It was a great zacian counter in singles on smogon
i love every randbattler talking about how specifically nightmarish salazzle is to us, myself included.
Anybody that plays randbats knows the power of salazzle
Salazle was great in my first ever gen 7 play through
She'd likely appreciate some Ground coverage (as weird as that may sound) outside of Hidden Power/Tera Blast to really stick it to those to resist both her STABs & utility that include Knock Off with a buffed Corrosion or a Poison equivalent of Foresight/Miracle Eye. This would likely turn her even better in the lower tiers
Salazzle mentioned!!
This thing is insane. Sub protect toxic stall flamethrower is a consistently tough. Getting off one free turn to toxic/sub can be tough still.
first thing i thought of salazzel is jamie boyt in vgc 😭
I actually give my Salazzles _Dragon Pulse_ as an option to Toxic-Flamethrower-Venoshock.
Best intro yet
Probably one of the coolest designed mons in recent years. SMASH!
Yes, the infernal venom queen. Only issue I have is that all she has is Fire, Poudin and Dragon moves in her arsenal and could use some coverage.
corrosion would be an insane ability if it was on anything with actual defensive stature
Make corrosion affect toxic spikes which means only heavy duty boot Pokémon and flying types are safe, which is still a lot but it’s better than nothing
