Salamence is a Dragon/Flying type pseudo legendary pokemon from Hoenn, so it's a somewhat common typing, but still a decent typing nonetheless, just be careful around Ice type pokemon. Then the design I think is pretty solid, but it isn't really a dragon type design that stands out that well to me, so I definitely don't love this from the design aspect. Regardless, Salamence being a pseudo has nice stats, as well as having a solid movepool & pretty good abilities. Overall, even though I love Salamence, I chose to rank it here because even with it being a pseudo, I was tending to keep forgetting that I even had Salamence still in this rankdown even with having a list of what was remaining (it's spot on my ranking wouldn't have changed regardless though) & just the non-stand out design was other reason I chose putting it for this spot.
