But who would want to hit a Steel type with a damaging Poison move when that very Pokemon is Fire type? The only reason it's a cool ability is because of the Poison status.

Oh, and Salamandit is a shit name.

They name it Salandit to distinguish it from its evo, Salamandit. As a little side note, it is actually a split evo: males evolve into Salamandit and females evolve into Salamistress.

Salamandit rolls of the tongue because it is literally the word Salamander with the last syllable replaced. If anything the actual name is the clunky one.

Salandit does not "roll of the tongue" better. You have to stumble and decide whether make the "la" sound like "band" in "bandit" or the "la" in sala as in salamander and that's bad. Salamandit has one more syllable but that doesn't inherently mean it's harder to say. The two words come together much more naturally and therefore it flows.

For the record I believe this is the correct way but that it doesn't mesh together is the issue. You don't literlaly have a hard time pronouncing it, that isn't the issue, but the point is there's multiple ways it could be pronounced and neither works with both words that make up the portmanteau at the same time, whereas adding one more syllable makes the word as easy a word to sat as as the word "salamander" already is while combining the words seamlessly

And that's the problem.

Salamandit is very clear, because the 'an' would be pronounced the same way in both salamander and bandit. The current one cuts it off at a bad location, because the 'a' would be pronounced different between both words.

I can think of a few more targets not weak to Fire or Poison that don't appreciate getting poisoned.

>Heatran
>Mega Venusaur
>Empoleon
>Tentacruel
>Opposing Salandit
>Dialga
>Dragalge
>Toxicroak (it would be better off burning this or hitting it with a fire move)
>Most poison types in general (Muk, Weezing, Nidos, Crobat, Gengar)

In terms of OU viability though, that's still a pretty small list.

It's also implied by the ability that it can poison Pokemon by the added effects of moves, so maybe it can poison Poison types that switch in to take a Sludge Bomb too.

The thing is, it will probably end up getting Will-O-Wisp and Lava Plume too, so you might be better off just trying to burn some of these things. Not that Salandit even looks like it will end up being a defensive pokemon. It looks like it will be an offensive pokemon that won't have time to play around with Toxic.

tldr: I think its ability will end up going mostly useless except for random poisons on defensive Poison types due to Sludge Bomb.

It doesn't matter what YOU saw, as I said in that fucking post if WOULD ACTUALLY FUCKING READ and use your fucking brain instead of degenerating into strawmans and insults that the intention is almost definitely Salandit, but instead of just having one more syllable and making the portmanteau flow together, they threw together the words at a point that makes sense which increases the disparity between them.

Nigga, chill the fuck out.

It doesn't increase the disparity between them. That's again you looking at a weird ass way to pronounce it that nobody else would think to pronounce it. Sal-land-dit rolls perfectly well, and has no real disparity involved with it.

When you see options, a clunky way and a really nice way to pronounce a word, why would you give the first option the time of day?

There IS no connection point. The word cuts off before the point where they would naturally be connected doesn't show up. THAT'S the fucking problem. The best place to combine the words "salamander" and and "bandit" would be the place where the pronunciations match up because the pronunciation is shared and there's no conflict between sala from salamander and ndit and sal + andit from bandit.

There is no conflict, thats just YOU having an autistic break down.

It's Sal-Lan-Dit. Period. Connects and rolls off the tongue perfectly fine.

Guess what, it doesn't have to be pronounced like Sala for the connection to salamanders to be there.
