Magma Stone
The Magma Stone (Japanese: かざんのおきいし Volcano Stone) is a Key Item introduced in the Generation IV games. It is a red stone formed when boulders melted in intensely hot magma, then hardened. Magma remains sealed inside.
In the games
Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum
The Magma Stone is found at Stark Mountain. In Platinum, it is explained that the Magma Stone is able to control Heatran, the Legendary Pokémon that lives within the mountain. In this nature, it is similar to the Red Chain created by Cyrus.
During normal gameplay, the Magma Stone is not available, and it's taken by BuckDP/CharonPt instead. In Diamond and Pearl, Buck returns it after receiving advice from his grandfather, while in Platinum, Charon tries to steal it, but Looker has his Croagunk take it away from him. After Charon is arrested, Buck takes the Magma Stone back to its proper place.
Once the Magma Stone has been returned, the player is able to battle and catch Heatran.
If hacked into a game cartridge, the Magma Stone will have no in-game effect.
Pokémon Black and White 2
In Black 2 and White 2, the Magma Stone can be found at Route 18. If it is taken to a special chamber at Reversal Mountain, the player can battle and catch Heatran.
