Card Details
Character Background
Salamence from Dragon is a classic tempo-control Stage 2: it wants to hit the Active spot, force awkward board states with Dragon Wind, and then either soften the target with Dragon Claw or buy a turn with Agility. The ability is especially punishing when your opponent has a weakened Bench target or a heavy retreat cost, because they choose which Defending Pokémon gets dragged forward, but you control the pressure by deciding when to activate it. Since Special Conditions shut off Dragon Wind, deckbuilding should prioritize consistent switching and healing support, plus ways to keep Salamence clear of status. Pair it with effects that spread damage or punish benching, so every forced switch becomes a real liability. Agility adds a useful defensive layer against big attacks, making Salamence less about raw damage and more about disrupting prizes while staying on the board long enough to let its momentum snowball.
