Salandit’s evolution confuses some trainers. No, it’s not because people can’t wrap their heads around its second stage, Salazzle, but because no matter how many times they level Salandit up, it doesn’t seem to evolve. Well, that’s the case for some trainers. Others get Salazzle with no issues. It’s almost as though trainers have a 50/50 chance when it comes to the poisonous fire-type.

How do I evolve Salandit?

The caveat that catches trainers out is that your Salandit must be female to evolve into Salazzle at level 33. Yes, this is a gender-specific evolution, and unlike Gardevior and Gallade, there’s no male counterpart to Salazzle. That’s the unfortunate mistake some trainers make in their pursuit of a Salazzle. They capture a male Salandit that can never ascend into a second stage ‘mon.
