Brand new? We already have grass/steel (Ferroseed/Ferrothorn).
Some of these could yield really cool ideas, like Ghost Fairy. Dead fairy, anyone?

That ability seems so broken!

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
no that's just shitty Gen 1 era english name, it's literally fire lizard
though I guess hitokage I think can be salamander too, but that's more of a myth aspect, so you could say this is a better salamander!

Wooper's evo line is based on an axolotl, which is a type of salamander. I'm still equally excited for this though.
ah, you're right, forgot about him.

Wow... it's hard for me to find a Gen 7 Pokémon I don't like. I love them all so far. How am I going to make a 6 Poke team out of this!? 
A female Salandit may be part of my team if Rowlet evo looks good.

Aww its cute.
That x4 Ground weakness though

I like this one a lot.
Description makes it sound pretty weak outside of it's gimmick though. I forsee it getting a lot of focus sash + Toxic use and just being inept outside that, hehe.
I don't care though, I'll probably use it in-game anyway if I come across it in my playthrough.

Don't know why it looks like a lizard (I guess the mythical salamander kind of does?), but that's dope as fuck.
A poison fire salamander? With that shit eating grin? Oh man. Goodbye litten

This pokemon is evil. Im really loving the Gen 7 designs. Really fantastic stuff that can't be predicted.
I would be just happy with New mons being more than X/Y but less than B/W

An awesome Poison type with an awesome design and an awesome ability.
Gen 7 might surpass Gen 5 as my favorite generation of Pokemon at this rate.
Meanwhile, Salandit seems to be based on a mix between the mythical salamander and real poisonous salamanders like the fire salamander. Ironically, salamanders don't live in Hawaii.

Wooper and Quagsire are actually based on the giant salamander.

I really meant a quadrupedal Salamander that was poison type. It being fire and poison is really icing on the cake. Sorry for not being specific on the internet
There's basically no chance it will have the right stat spread to be OP in singles

Ugh @ smogon.
Gliscor would be a nice counter right?
Probably. Can hit hard with Ground moves and probably won't take too much damage back, unless Salandit's Special Attack is high and/or has access to Water/Ice moves. At best I'd say he might get Scald, but even that's a stretch.
Unless he has some massive bulk, those are all major common attack types (both physical and special) and that 4x EQ weakness is just going to be brutal or every single one of these things is going to need an Air Balloon.
Ya he's a huge check against fairies (except Sylveon, probably) but he's super exposed. And the steel types that he can poison will probably all have EQ or are Scissor.

I like the design. Smooth.
He looks cool but I won't be likely adding him on my team due to his part fire typing as I will have Charizard on my team.
Urgh, I really don't care for Smogon.
Yep can learn rock and ground type moves and has poison heal as his hidden ability plus he's pretty bulky and fast.
Man Gliscor is one amazing Pokémon and I am so glad that Gligar got an evolution.
