Salamence is a Dragon/Flying-type Pokémon (National Dex #373) with a pseudo-legendary-tier stat total of 600. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Legends: Z-A, Sword & Shield and BDSP, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Attack at 135, which makes it a fast, hard-hitting sweeper. Attack outweighs Special Attack by a clear margin, so an Adamant or Jolly nature and a physical move set play to its strengths. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Salamence takes super-effective damage from Ice at 4×, and Rock, Dragon, Fairy at 2×. It is completely immune to Ground. It resists Fire, Water, Grass, Fighting, Bug. Its ability options are Intimidate, Moxie, and you choose which one your copy carries.
Salamence evolves into Shelgon (50). You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.
In-game, Salamence has 89 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (44), Legends: Z-A (8), Sword & Shield (10), BDSP (27) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Scarlet & Violet, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Salamence ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
