Salamence occupies card number 8 in the Dragon Vault set, released in 2012. As a Stage 2 Pokemon that evolves from Shelgon, this Dragon-type card boasts 140 hit points and features artwork by BERUBURI. In gameplay, Salamence is defined by its Scornful Storm ability.

The primary attack, Shred, deals 90 damage for a cost of Fire, Water, Colorless, and Colorless energy. Notably, this attack's damage remains unaffected by any effects on the Defending Pokémon, ensuring consistent damage output regardless of defensive modifiers. Collectors of the Dragon Vault series often seek out this Holo Rare finish for its distinct visual treatment. The card serves as a key piece for completing the set, appealing to those who build full collections of the DRV subset. Whether you are completing a Dragon Vault binder or focusing on Dragon-type cards specifically, this Salamence offers a strategic and aesthetic addition to your collection. The card's retreat cost is 2, requiring two Colorless energy to switch it out of battle. The marketplace connects hobbyists who appreciate the detailed mechanics and artwork of cards such as this 2012 release. By focusing on the specific attributes of the card, collectors can identify exactly which pieces they need to complete their sets or expand their Dragon-type collections.
