Strategy & play
How Salamence ex δ plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Dual Stream) needs 4 Energy — a turn-4 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Water Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Water type, weak to Colorless ×2 — a Colorless attacker doing ≥80 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Shelgon first).
How to beat Salamence ex δ
- Exploit its Colorless weakness — ≥80 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
