Slugma (Japanese: マグマッグ, Hepburn: Magumaggu) (SLUG-ma) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology

Physiology

Slugma is a red, slug-like Pokémon that appears to be made completely out of magma. It has droplet-shaped fangs on the bottom of its mouth and has yellow eyes with ponytail-like fire coming off of its head.

Behavior

Thin, transparent skin actually covers the bodies of Slugma. Instead of blood, however, their circulatory systems pump molten-hot lava to transport vital nutrients and minerals throughout their bodies. This lava bubbles out of small pores in their skin, leaving trails of the substance as they move around. Because of this unique system, Slugma can only live for extended periods of time in very warm areas, particularly volcanoes. Should they stop moving in cooler places, the lava within their bodies will begin to harden, become brittle, and crumble. The cooler Slugma are, the slower they will move, until they stop moving altogether. In areas where lava and magma are common, large groups of Slugma, sometimes numbering in the hundreds, can be seen congregating where the lava oozes out. In order to remain healthy, Slugma must dip themselves in lava or magma every so often to replenish the lava lost from traveling. Some Poké Marts sell a lava substitute specifically for Slugma and Magcargo, which is both nontoxic and safe to the touch.

Evolution

Slugma evolves into Magcargo at level 38.
