It should be called Physically Defensive Wish Passer.
Set comments:
Salamence has access to a move few pokemon get, in the form of wish. While at first glance, Salamence may seem outclassed by parashuffler Dragonite, this set provides better team support. Salamence is capable of taking physical hits with ease, with intimidate to cushion the hits. The crux of this set is wish. Wish heals 197 HP, generally able to heal over half of a standard pokemon's health. The second set is up for grabs. Roost provides you with instant healing if you find yourself in a case where you direly need it, but roost in general is counterproductive with wish. Protect is the preferred option, allowing you to scout the opponent's move and act accordingly. The third slot should always be dragon tail. This provides you with a solid phazing move, racking up hazard damage. Flamethrower occupies the last slot. This allows you to take on steels, namely Ferrothorn, Skarmory, and Forretress, who otherwise wall your entire set.
AC:
The EVs are tailored to allow you to outspeed Jolly Tyranitar and Adamant Breloom. This also allows you to outspeed standard Gliscor by one point. Max HP is necessary to maximize the amount you heal from Wish. The rest is dumped in Defense to allow you to take physical hits with ease.
Remember, when using Salamence, never try to use it as an inferior Dragonite. The key is to abuse Wish, something Dragonite just doesn't get. Flamethrower can be replaced by Fire Blast if you find it to be too weak. However, Salamence does not appreciate missing, especially when so many slow threats are able to hit it for a lot of damage. Roar can also be used over Dragon Tail. Dragon Tail however, provides you with STAB and isn't affected by taunt.

Thats a little stupid set, well first wish or roost? wish is for passes and protect itself but my vote goes for wish, because this set is not for causing damage is for wish passing and windrawing enemy pokemon with dragon tail, but i think this set its really weak.....
And i would called it "Wishdrawer".

Kronos, can you please explain what the EVs and more into the moves please? In particular, I would like to know what those EVs do for Salamence specifically, if anything.

Kronos, I have to say your comments there are pretty unhelpful. If you think a set isn't viable, please explain exactly why you feel this way.

This wants a bit of editing. Anyone want to give me the all clear to do it?
