The Pokemon Company has posted a trailer for the newest Pokemon to join the cast of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon.

The website details the Pokemon:

  • Category: Toxic Lizard Pokemon
  • Type: Poison/Fire
  • Height: 2’00”
  • Weight: 10.6 lbs.
  • Ability: Corrosion

Salandit emits toxic gas, together with flames, from the base of its tail. This poisonous gas has a sweet smell, and anyone who unknowingly breathes it in will become dizzy. Salandit is not a very powerful Pokémon, but its cunning nature allows it to battle fiercely by throwing its opponents off balance.

Salandit females not only release toxic gases, they can also emit pheromones that attract males of all species, including Pokémon and humans. Inhaling these pheromones may cause opponents to be controlled by Salandit’s will.

Salandit has the Corrosion Ability, a new Ability that no other Pokémon has possessed before. With the Corrosion Ability, it becomes possible to inflict the Poisoned status condition even on Steel- and Poison-type Pokémon.

You can watch the trailer below:

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon are coming to the Nintendo 3DS on November 18 in NA and November 23 in EU.
