With these moves, Salamence can focus on dealing massive amounts of damage or healing, depending on if you use Roost. To further increase Salamence's Attack, use the Adamant nature. A good held item would be the Metronome, as this increases the power of moves used consecutively. Lastly, we recommend the Dragon-type for Salamence's Tera type.
