Salamence questions

Is Salamence a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Salamence joins the collection from the Hoenn gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Salamence in PokéSurvivor?

Salamence is Dragon / Flying. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Salamence be shiny?

Yes. A wild Salamence is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Salamence a rift legendary?

No. Salamence can appear in waves. If its BST sits in a boss band, it can also be one of the five timed bosses.
