Air Balloon makes the holder ungrounded, which means Salandit is immune to Ground-type moves until the balloon pops when hit by a damaging move. With Corrosion, Salandit can poison or badly poison a pokemon regardless of its typing. With a Eject Pack equipped to it, if Salandit's stat stages are lowered, it switches to a chosen ally then the Eject Pack gets consumed.
