Salazzle Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Salazzle works as a sweeper with 480 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list: a solid option in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon for the right team. Toxic with Black Sludge is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Salazzle's biggest threats include Swampert (Ground), Milotic (Water), and Reuniclus (Psychic), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Swampert is the most dangerous since Ground moves deal 4x damage. Rock-type attackers are also a problem. Salazzle's base 117 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
Corrosion is the go-to ability for Salazzle. It this Pokémon can inflict poison on Poison and Steel Pokémon. Its hidden ability Oblivious can work in specific setups.
Salazzle is a special attacker with base 111 Sp. Atk. Speed tells the real story. Base 117 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the sweeper role.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Toxic, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, and Substitute. Toxic leads at 0% usage. Flamethrower provides reliable STAB damage.
