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 SM140 card was released in 2017 as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos set, a series of cards distributed primarily through specialized merchandise rather than standard booster packs. This particular card was included in the Salamence-GX Box, which served as a promotional vehicle to highlight the powerful GX mechanic introduced during the Sun & Moon era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
The card features artwork by Nagimiso, a frequent illustrator for the franchise known for dynamic, high-energy character depictions. The design focuses on a stylized, aggressive stance for Salamence, utilizing the vibrant, modern aesthetic that defined the Sun & Moon generation. Upon its release, it was well-received by players for its practical utility in competitive play, as well as by collectors who sought out the unique promotional foil treatment exclusive to this box set.
