Magcargo (Japanese: マグカルゴ, HepburnMagukarugo) (mag-CAR-go[1]) is a Fire/Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Magcargo is a large, red Snail Pokémon. It appears to be made of magma. A noticeable thing about Magcargo is that it has a large rock on its back, which turned it into a Fire/Rock Pokémon. Magcargo tend to live in volcanoes.

Behavior[]

Though the shells of Magcargo appear to be solid and rock-hard, they are in fact simply thin shells of cooled lava (like skins of sorts); they break at the slightest touch. Luckily, this does not harm Magcargo, as new lava will simply rise to the top and harden into new shells.

Flames periodically spurt from small cracks in their shells; this is their way of disposing of waste, combusting it within their molten shells. Their bodies can reach temperatures of 18,000 °F (10,000 °C), hot enough to vaporize water on contact. When it rains, their mere presence can create thick fog that can blanket areas within seconds.

Like Slugma, Magcargo gradually lose some of their lava and become smaller through simple locomotion as they leave trails. They can return to their original sizes by taking dips in magma pools. Trained Magcargo can also use the lava substitutes sold at some Poké Marts with no ill effects. Magcargo are almost only found in active volcanic craters, leading some scientists to believe that they adapted their molten bodies to cope with their environment.

Evolution[]

Magcargo is the evolved form of Slugma, which evolves at level 38.

Pokédex entries[]

Trivia[]

  • Magcargo is the only Rock-type Pokémon that has a pre-evolution that isn't also a Rock-type Pokémon.
  • Magcargo's body temperature (18,000 °F) is higher than that of the sun's surface (9,940 °F).

Origin[]

Magcargo is based on a snail, with its shell being made of igneous rock and its body being made of lava/magma.

Etymology[]

Magcargo and Magukarugo are portmanteaus of "magma," "cargo" (goods being carried in a vehicle for delivery, referring to its shell), and "escargot" (French for "snail," especially when cooked and served as food).
