Well, that pokemon seems pretty cool. That name is awesome too. Salamander and bandit together? Sounds awesome~

this is cool and will probably be overused in competitive!! since steel types are overused (Aegislash, Klefki, Heatran almost break the game) and giving the ability to some never used old pokemon would be cool as well

We need to know it is/has a final evolution and it's base stats first. Corrosion is a cool ability, but that don't mean much if it's sitting somewhere with a sub-500 BST and can't do anything other than what it's ability entails. Earthquake is everywhere in compettive too, thanks in no small part to the Pokemon you mentioned.

Fire and Posion is a pretty interesting typing. Looks kinda cute too, hopefully its evolutions don't turn it into some abomination

Actually I think you can get pretty decent stats even below 500 BST, look at Sableye who was played for ages in it's regular form with 380 BST, of course Salandit and it's evo will have to deal with more weakneses, but the proper item can deal with that...

Possible 450 BST spread for Salandit's evo which would be perfect:

HP 70

Atk 20

Def 70

Sp. Atk 100

Sp. Def 70

Speed 120

True but I think a scarf would probably be more useful, especially if it turns out to be slow.  Switch ins on Play Rough/Toxic Klefki would be this things niche.

I don't think you want to lock yourself on Toxic in a metagame with Komala/his evolution...

So most likely, it can deal damage to steel types as well?

Interesting concept, though the design isn't really good, just looks like sandile to me :/

Kill it in two turns instead of one then. ;)

In Sableye's case, it didn't have ANY weaknesses (plus THREE immunities!) until this current gen, and it has Prankster, one of the top five abilities in the entire game. It's typing and ability is what makes it viable, not those stats.

Salandit has a very useful ability, but it's not in the class of Prankster. In all likelihood, it'll be a nice ability, and with those stats, Salandit will be a niche mon with only a couple of uses outside of its ability. It's not tanking anything with that bulk, especially with Earthquake and Water attacks being super common, and Rock attacks not being far behind. It's extremely speedy, but with 100 base Sp. Atk, it better have Nasty Plot or Calm Mind. And even if it does, it still has the problem with bulk.
