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 Pokémon with a human-like stance that has traits of a duck and a mythical salamander. Magmar has a red body with a yellow flame design on it. It has a yellow tail that has a flame on it. Magmar has yellow thighs, black legs and red feet with two toes each. Magmar's arms are covered in red, rigid scales and it has red hands with five fingers. 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.
Due to Magmar's tail-flame and partial-reptilian appearance, it has been considered to be a distant cousin of the Charmander-line.
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.
Despite not being fully-evolved, Magmar is capable of using 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.
Habitat
Magmar prefer environments that are very hot, such as volcanoes.

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.
- 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 Thunder Punch at Level 28.
- In its Generation II and Generation III back sprites, Magmar has one spike on the back of its head and two on its back, one of which lies on Magmar's neck. However, in Magmar's Generation IV sprite, the back spikes are further down, and lay below the neck.
Origin
Magmar seems to be a combination of a duck or booby with a mythical salamander of fire. However, the tail and the spikes on its back resemble those of an iguana. It could also be based on a Karura.
Name origin
Magmar's name may just be a corruption of the word magma, intrusive molten rock. Its Japanese name might be a corruption of booby, a type of sea bird.
