Read more ↓Magcargo, the Lava Pokémon, is a unique Fire/Rock dual-type creature introduced in Generation II with the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver. It evolves from Slugma, a pure Fire-type, at level 38. Magcargo's body is composed entirely of molten magma, which hardens into a rock-like shell upon exposure to cooler air. This constant internal heat makes Magcargo's body incredibly hot, capable of melting anything it touches. It is said that its body temperature reaches an astonishing 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit, or 10,000 degrees Celsius, which is hotter than the surface of the sun. Magcargo typically inhabits volcanic regions, where the extreme heat allows it to thrive. Its diet consists primarily of volcanic rocks, which it consumes to maintain its magma-filled body. Despite its intimidating appearance and immense heat, Magcargo is often depicted as a docile creature unless provoked. In the anime, Magcargo has made several appearances, often showcasing its incredible power and resilience in volcanic environments. Its unique typing presents both advantages and disadvantages in battle, being strong against Grass, Bug, Ice, and Steel types, but vulnerable to Water, Ground, and Fighting types. Magcargo's design embodies the raw, destructive, yet fascinating power of volcanic activity, leaving a lasting impression on fans.
