Salamence can Mega Evolve into Mega Salamence using the Salamencite. Mega Salamence was introduced in pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
It is referred to as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon by fans.
The Paradox Pokémon Roaring Moon is said to be an ancient relative of Mega Salamence or a version of it from a parallel timeline.

As Mega Salamence, its wings meld together into a single huge, crescent-shaped wing. Its face, neck, body, and tail are narrower, and its tail is noticeably shorter in length. The ridges above its eyes are now far less prominent, and it no longer possesses the thick, gray scaling over its lower jaw. Instead, the smooth red flesh underneath has been left exposed, increasing its streamlined appearance. The upper pair of fins resting on the sides of its head are now elongated and tapered. The lower pair has not changed much. However, the middle set now takes the form of quarter-arches, spanning towards the bridge of the nose. The remnants of its shelled underbelly have been drastically transformed into a segmented, more aerodynamic, vest-like armored frame. This frame encases its chest and shoulders with the pieces interlocking whenever Mega Salamence tucks in its front forelegs.
According to Mega Evolution Special II, the hard, yet very flexible properties of its wings allow them to be used as blades in mid-air battles. The stress of Salamence's vaunted wings becoming misshapen in its Mega Evolution aggravates it to the point of rampaging. This fuels its already brutal nature and makes it likely to turn against the Trainer who raised it. Because of this, Mega Salamence is feared as "the blood-soaked crescent". It is an extremely fast and nimble flier, able to navigate complex topography with ease, and any object in Salamence's path gets sliced in two by its blade-like wings, posing no interruption to its flight.
Roaring Moon bears a resemblance to Mega Salamence, but it’s unclear if there is any connection between the two. According to AI Sada, the pokémon is an ancestor of Salamence from the ancient past. However, according to a version of Professor Sada that was summoned at the Crystal Pool, it is a counterpart of Salamence from a parallel timeline.
