Strategy & play
How Salamence δ plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is energy acceleration. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Needs Fire / Metal Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fire / Metal type, weak to Colorless ×2 — a Colorless attacker doing ≥55 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Shelgon first).
How to beat Salamence δ
- Exploit its Colorless weakness — ≥55 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Salamence δ is real?
Salamence δ is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
