Magcargo (Japanese: マグカルゴ Magcargot) is a dual-type Fire/Rock Pokémon.
It evolves from Slugma starting at level 38.
Biology
Physiology
Magcargo are large fire Pokémon that seem to consist almost entirely out of magma, much like it's pre-evolution. However, it has gained a hard shell that is made out of hardened magma. This shell seems to have a circular-shape and has small holes in it that spurts out small flames. This shell is somewhat thin and can flake off easily.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Magcargo's body is over 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Due to its magma body, it is able to use many Template:Type2 moves. It can also learn Recover, but due to its 2 4× weaknesses and 50 base HP, who knows what use it will have for the move.
Behavior
Habitat
To keep itself from hardening, Magcargo prefers to stay near something very hot like a volcano.

- Despite the fact Magcargo's shell crumbles easily, in the anime it retracts to its shell and protects it from damage.
- Magcargo's body is over 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which should be hot enough to melt flesh. However, it has made contact with Pokémon many times in the anime and none of them felt any burning from its body. This trait is shared with Ponyta and Rapidash.
