Magcargo GxLost Thunder #218 Pokémon Card

Magcargo is a dual-type Fire/Rock Pokémon introduced in Generation II, evolving from Slugma at level 38. Its Pokédex entries describe it as having a body temperature of approximately 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit, hot enough to melt water on contact and cause rain to evaporate instantly. It leaves a trail of solidified lava wherever it goes, often found in volcanic regions or areas with high geothermal activity, where it can maintain its extreme body heat. Magcargo’s shell, while appearing solid, is actually made of constantly cooling and hardening magma, which can crack and reform. In the games, it's known for its relatively high Special Attack and Defense, though its Speed is notably low. It has appeared in the anime, often depicted as a powerful and intimidating creature due to its intense heat. Its unique type combination gives it a distinct set of resistances and weaknesses, making it a memorable Pokémon in the Johto region lineup.
