Verdict

Collector's Pick
Salazzle is a Poison/Fire-type Pokemon with base stats of 228/130/169 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,802. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Salazzle has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Salazzle for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Salazzle's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Salazzle is weak to Ground, Psychic, Rock, Water-type moves. It has a double weakness to Ground, taking 156% more damage from these types. When battling Salazzle, prioritize using Ground-type attackers to exploit this double weakness for maximum effectiveness.

What is Salazzle's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Salazzle's maximum CP is 2,802 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,479 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Salazzle's CP is calculated from its base stats: 228 Attack, 130 Defense, and 169 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully.

If you catch a perfect IV Salazzle, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Salazzle ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Salazzle in Pokemon GO?
