Magmar (Japanese: ブーバー Boober) is a Fire-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Magby starting at level 30 and evolves into Magmortar when traded holding a Magmarizer.
Biology
Physiology
Magmar is a tailed, bipedal Pokémon with a red body that has a yellow flame design on it. It has a yellow tail that has a flame on the tip. Magmar has yellow thighs, and red feet with two toes each. Magmar's arms are covered in red, rigid scales and it has red hands with five fingers. It has black, metal shackles on its neck and legs. Magmar has a row of red spikes running down its back. Magmar has two lumps on its forehead with a flame on top of each one, and a yellow beak.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Magmar can spit powerful flames from its mouth that can incinerate nearly all of its surroundings. It can also create smoke-based attacks such as Smog and Lava Plume. It is also able to use physical attacks such as Cross Chop, Mega Punch, and Fire Punch effectively. Magmar is able to survive in extreme conditions such as lava in a volcano. Magmar is one of a small number of Pokémon still capable of evolution that are able to use Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.
Behavior
Whenever a Magmar is faced with being in an environment that it finds too cold, it will spew out flames to warm up the surrounding area. Also, according to Giovanni, they are "savage and intelligent".
Habitat
Magmar prefer environments that are very hot, such as volcanoes. Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh are the best places that offer such habitats to these Pokémon.

Trivia
- Magmar is one of four Pokémon to receive both a pre-evolution and new evolution in generations after its release. The other three are Chansey, Electabuzz and Roselia.
- It is also one of five Pokémon that didn't have any evolutionary relatives in the generation they were introduced in, but now are part of a three-stage evolutionary line. The other four are the previously mentioned three and Porygon (while all four of the other Pokémon got both an evolution and a pre-evolution, Porygon got two evolutions).
- Magmar and Electabuzz seem to be counterparts; both evolve in a very similar way (first at level 30, then after being traded holding an "-izer" item), and both are typically exclusive to one version of a pair of games. They also learn all their moves at the same levels, such as Fire Punch and ThunderPunch at level 28. They even have the same special moves when purified from Pokémon XD: Follow Me and Cross Chop. Their pre-evolutions and evolutions were released in the same generation. Additionally, their Japanese names are essentially phonetic reversals of each other.
- In all games within Generation IV, and by extension, Generation II, that Magmar can be caught in the wild, Magmar can be caught at levels lower than it evolves.
Origin
Magmar seems to be a combination of a booby or duck with a mythical salamander of fire. However, the tail and the spikes on its back resemble those of an iguana. It is also likely based on a Karura, considering that its counterpart Electabuzz is based on an oni.
Name origin
Magmar's name may just be a corruption of the word magma, intrusive molten rock, but may also involve the word mar, referring to the incineration of its surroundings to suit its own needs. Its Japanese name might be a corruption of booby, a type of sea bird, with the English word burn added (however, the boo syllable is also found in Electabuzz's Japanese name).
