Salamence Pokémon cards
Salamence appears on 5 cards in the newest Pokémon sets, mostly as a Dragon-type Pokémon. Here's every new Salamence card, which sets to look in, and the rarest one to hunt for.
Dragon Pokémon are powerful and rare. Their attacks often need two different kinds of Energy.
How does Salamence evolve?
Salamence evolves from Shelgon.
The rarest new Salamence card
The rarest is Salamence ex 156/128 from 30th Celebration, a Special Illustration Rare card. Two gold stars. Big, detailed pictures of the most powerful Pokémon and characters — some of the hardest cards to pull.
Strongest and smallest
The Salamence card with the most HP (hit points) is Salamence ex from 30th Celebration with 330 HP. The one with the least is Salamence ex from Journey Together with 320 HP. More HP means a Pokémon can take more damage before it's knocked out.
Salamence has 5 “ex” cards in the newest sets. Pokémon ex are big, powerful cards — but if one is knocked out, your opponent takes two Prize cards instead of one.
