Salandit

() is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Salandit is a salamander-like Pokémon with black-colored skin and reddish-orange markings on its back. It has squinting purple eyes, a mouth filled with black jagged teeth, and a pair of ear-like appendages on the back of its neck resembling bandana ties.
===Behavior===
Although they aren't very strong Pokémon, Salandit are terribly cunning and can confuse opponents during battles. They often make their homes near the sites of active volcanoes. Salandit in fact prefer to sneak up on prey from behind and immobilize them with their fumes before the victims even notice. Humorously, Salandit have great trouble hunting Spinda, as their dizzying gases have little effect on these tipsy Pokémon.
Female Salandit can eventually evolve into Salazzle. Male Salandit are highly attracted to Salazzle, offering both food and even their lives to gain her affection by the end of mating season. Due to the devotion towards Salazzle, male Salandit are highly malnourished and incapable of evolving.
===Natural abilities===
They are able to secrete a cocktail of flames and noxious gas from the tip of their tails. Female Salandit are able to produce special pheromones that attract mates and humans, which can control the victims who have sniffed them.
==Evolution==
Female Salandit evolve into Salazzle starting at level 33. Male Salandit can't evolve due to malnutrition.

*Salandit is the first -type Pokémon that is able to poison every type, including its own primary type, with its ability Corrosion. 
*Salandit is one of the five Pokémon whose evolution depends on its gender. It shares this trait with Burmy, Combee, Kirlia and Snorunt. 
*Salandit and its evolution Salazzle are so far the first and currently only Pokémon to be a /-type.
*Game Freak Pokémon designer James Turner once stated that Salandit is his favorite Pokémon in one of his now deleted tweets.
===Origin===
Salandit is based on a salamander, specifically a fire-bellied newt, which has bright orange markings to warn predators of its poisonous secretions. The fact only females evolve may be a reference to the all-female whiptail lizard, an all female lizard that breeds asexually. The black marking on its face and the ear-like appendages resemble a mask worn by burglars or possibly ninjas.
===Etymology===
Salandit is a combination of the words salamander and bandit.
