In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Salandit is a Poison/Fire-type salamander Pokémon that evolves into the powerful and also Poison/Fire type Salazzle. You can't evolve it just by leveling it up, so this article will explain how to evolve it.
Steps
-
1Identify where Salandit can be found. It's found at Route 8 during both the daytime and nighttime, and at the bottom of Wela Volcano Park during any time of the day. You have a 20% chance of finding it at Route 8, and a 30% chance of finding it at Wela Volcano Park. You'll find it at anywhere from level 16 to level 20.
- If you’re going to look for Salandit at Wela Volcano Park, make sure that you complete the trial there first, since in order for you to be able to catch Pokémon at a trial site, that trial will need to have been successfully completed first.
-
2Catch a female Salandit. Only female Salandit are able to evolve; male Salandit will not evolve at all. This can be difficult, since Salandit has only a 12.5% of being female. The easiest way to find one is to use a male Pokémon with the ability Cute Charm at the lead of your party. Cute Charm makes it easier to find a Pokémon of the opposite gender. Sylveon is a good Pokémon for this, since most Eevee are male, and Sylveon gets Cute Charm as its regular ability.Advertisement
-
3Have your Salandit gain experience. Since Salandit is a Poison/Fire-type Pokémon, the best Pokémon to face it are Grass, Bug, Ice, Steel, and Fairy-type Pokémon, as Salandit will be super effective against these Pokémon.
-
4Watch your Salandit evolve. Once your Salandit reaches level 33, it will evolve into Salazzle.
