Magmar (Japanese: ブーバー Boober) is a Fire-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Magby starting at level 30 and evolves into Magmortar when traded holding a Magmarizer.

Biology

Magmar is a bipedal Pokémon with a red body that has yellow flame designs on it. A row of red spikes runs down its back, and there are two lumps on its forehead with a flame on top of each one. It has a puckered, yellow beak and small eyes. Its thighs are yellow, and it has red feet with two, clawed toes each. Its arms are covered in rigid, red scales and it has red hands with five, clawed fingers. It has black, metal shackles on its neck and ankles. At the tips of its yellow tail is a flame.

Magmar's body temperature is nearly 2,200°F. Magmar is famous for its fire-spewing abilities. Along with this, it is also a considerably quick Pokémon, and usually possesses impressive physical capabilities. The anime has shown that extremely well trained Magmar can have the ability to block Electric-type attacks with super-heated air. Magmar is reported as being very swift and alacritous in high temperatures, and rather dopey and sluggish in colder environments, similar to a cold-blooded animal. Because it hates cold places, this Pokémon typically resides in and around active volcanoes. This Pokémon has even been known to alter unfavorably cold surroundings by spitting scorching flames about to warm up the area and establish an environment more suitable to it.

Magmar is able to heal its wounds by dipping its wound into lava. In battle, it blows out intense flames from all over its body as to intimidate its foes and incinerate its surroundings. However, an outmatched Magmar will quickly retreat, using its fiery camouflage and its wavering, rippling glare to blend into any present fires.

Trivia

• Magmar and Electabuzz seem to be counterparts; both evolve in a very similar way (first at level 30, then after being traded holding an "-izer" item), and both are typically exclusive to one version of a pair of games. They also learn all their moves at the same levels, such as Fire Punch and ThunderPunch at level 28. They even have the same special moves when purified from Pokémon XD: Follow Me and Cross Chop. Their pre-evolutions and evolutions were released in the same generation. Additionally, their Japanese names are essentially phonetic reversals of each other.

Origin

Magmar seems to be a combination of a booby or duck with a mythical salamander of fire. However, the tail and the spikes on its back resemble those of an iguana. It is possibly overall based on a Karura, depicted in Japanese Hindu-Buddhist mythology as a birdlike, fire-breathing creature, similar to how its counterpart Electabuzz is based on an oni.

Name origin

Magmar may be a corruption of the word magma (intrusive molten rock), but may also involve the word mar (to damage or spoil), referring to the incineration of its surroundings to suit its own needs.

Boober may be a combination of booby (a type of sea bird) and a corruption of burn.
