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.

Salamence is a quadrupedal, draconic pokémon with a long, tapering tail. It is primarily blue with a gray lower jaw and thickly scaled underside. There are red markings on its throat, the underside of its tail, and stripes on the inner surface of its legs. Additionally, there are raised red ridges above its eyes. Three flat fins protrude from either side of its head, possibly acting in the same manner that a Canard would on an aircraft. It has two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Each of its short legs has three claws, capable of slicing through nearly any material. Salamence is considered an unusual pokémon due to the circumstances of its Evolution; its fervent desire to fly triggered a cellular mutation that allowed it to suddenly grow large, red wings.
Its long-held dream fulfilled at last, Salamence constantly flies around and releases intense blasts of fire as an expression of its joy. It only stops flying when it gets exhausted and needs to sleep. If enraged, it loses all sense of self and flies into an uncontrollable rampage, destroying everything around it until it tires itself out. It lives in rough terrain, and it competes with Garchomp in midair for food. As mentioned in the Sleep Style Dex, Salamence flutters its wings even while it sleeps.
