Salamence
In-game stat numbers. CP is computed from these plus IVs and level via the standard formula. Use the IV calc to back-solve from a specific catch.
Max CP at L40 with 15 / 15 / 15 IVs. Push to L50 (+2 effective levels via Best Buddy) to reach beyond this cap.
POWER-UP COST →After any catch screen, match the CP against the chart above. Raid / Egg / Research Breakthrough are locked to L20 with a 10 / 10 / 10 IV floor — the hundo number is exact. Wild catches vary in level; the value shown is the L30 (or L35 weather-boosted) cap, the highest possible without trading or powering up.
Multipliers stack across both types for dual-type defenders. Strong against = what this species hits super-effectively via STAB attacks of its own types. See the full type chart for the complete 18 × 18 matrix.
