What it does
If this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, once during your turn (before your attack), you may switch 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon with their Active Pokémon.
It flies around on its wings, which have grown in at last. In its happiness, it gushes hot flames, burning up the fields it passes over.

Where it came from
The Salamence card numbered 106/168 was released in 2018 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Celestial Storm. This set was designed to integrate cards from the Japanese Sun & Moon era 'Champion Road' and 'Sky-Splitting Charisma' sets, focusing heavily on Pokémon that were central to the Hoenn region's lore. The inclusion of Salamence, a popular pseudo-legendary dragon type, provided players with a powerful stage-two evolution card intended to anchor dragon-themed decks within the competitive meta of the time.
The artwork for this card was executed by illustrator kodama, who utilized a dynamic style to emphasize the aggressive, draconic nature of the Pokémon. The design process focused on capturing Salamence in a flight-ready posture, framed by the set's signature holographic treatment which was intended to highlight the dragon's scales and the atmospheric energy of the card's background. Upon release, it was well-received by collectors who value classic dragon-type designs and by players who utilized its 'Dragon Pulse' and 'Burning Wings' attacks to disrupt board states.
