Magma Stone

The Magma Stone (Japanese: かざんのおきいし Volcano Stone) is an item in the Generation IV games. It cannot be obtained without the use of a cheating device.

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 Buck^DP or Charon^Pt takes it. In Diamond and Pearl, Buck returns it after receiving advice from his grandfather, while in Platinum, Charon is arrested and Looker absentmindedly picks it up. Buck puts the Stone back.

Once the Magma Stone has been replaced, the player is able to battle and catch Heatran.

If hacked into a game cartridge, the Magma Stone will have no in-game effect.
