  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  3. 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.
  4. Once your Salandit reaches level 33, it will evolve into Salazzle.

    Make sure that you don't have an Everstone on her. If it passes level 33 and isn't holding an Everstone, the Salandit is male.

      • If you don't want to battle with Salandit, you don't have to. You can switch to another Pokémon during a battle, which will get it full experience, or have the Exp. Share on so you don't have to put it into battle.
        Thanks

      • Since Salandit will be a fairly low level, you can use Nest Balls on it to make catching it easier.

      • While you don't have to use the recommended Cute Charm method in step 2 to find a female Salandit, it will take longer to find one, unless you get lucky in finding one quickly.

        "The fact that only females evolve was helpful, since I have a male at level 56."
