>>39454196It was actually one of the things I liked about Sun and Moon. One of those really rare bragging rights encounters like Dunsparce in Gen II, Feebas in Gen III/IV and Munchlax in Gen IV. It's a shame that Salamence was from another Generation instead of a Gen VII Pokémon and also that you could already get one through evolving Bagon or Shelgon which were easier to come across. In that regard it's less of a rare Pokémon to brag about owning and more of a novelty.
