Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold / Pokémon LeafGreen

It never sleeps. It has to keep moving because if it stopped, its magma body would cool and harden.

Pokémon Silver / Pokémon FireRed

A common sight in volcanic areas, it slowly slithers around in a constant search for warm places.

Pokémon Crystal

These group together in areas that are hotter than normal. If it cools off, its skin hardens.

Pokémon Ruby

Molten magma courses throughout Slugma's circulatory system. If this Pokémon is chilled, the magma cools and hardens. Its body turns brittle and chunks fall off, reducing its size.

Pokémon Sapphire

Slugma does not have any blood in its body. Instead, intensely hot magma circulates throughout this Pokémon's body, carrying essential nutrients and oxygen to its organs.

Pokémon Emerald

It is a species of Pokémon that lives in volcanic areas. If its body cools, its skin hardens and immobilizes it. To avoid that, it sleeps near magma.
