Card 029Twilight Masquerade #29 Pokémon Card

Magcargo is a Lava Pokémon, a unique creature formed from magma that has cooled and solidified into a rock-like shell, while its body remains molten. It was first introduced in Generation II with the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver. This Fire/Rock-type Pokémon evolves from Slugma at level 38, showcasing a fascinating transformation from a purely molten slug to a creature with a hardened, yet still fiery, exterior. Its natural habitat includes volcanic regions and caves, where it can maintain its incredibly high body temperature, which is said to reach 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit, hotter than the surface of the sun. Magcargo's diet likely consists of minerals found in volcanic rock, which it melts and absorbs. In the games and anime, Magcargo is often depicted as a slow but incredibly durable Pokémon, capable of withstanding intense heat and dishing out powerful attacks. Its unique typing gives it both advantages and disadvantages in battle, making it a memorable contender for many trainers.
