Game data
Pokédex entries
| Gen | Game | Pokédex entry |
|---|---|---|
| III | Ruby | Numel is extremely dull witted - it doesn't notice being hit. However, it can't stand hunger for even a second. This Pokémon's body is a seething cauldron of boiling magma. |
| Sapphire | Numel stores magma of almost 2,200 degrees F within its body. If it gets wet, the magma cools and hardens. In that event, the Pokémon's body grows heavy and its movements become sluggish. | |
| Emerald | A Numel stores boiling magma in the hump on its back. It is a hardy Pokémon that can transport a 220-pound load. It has served humans at work since long ago. | |
| FireRed | Magma of almost 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit courses through its body. When it grows cold, the magma hardens and slows it. | |
| LeafGreen | Magma of almost 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit courses through its body. When it grows cold, the magma hardens and slows it. | |
| IV | Diamond | Its humped back stores intensely hot magma. In rain, the magma cools, slowing its movement. |
| Pearl | Its humped back stores intensely hot magma. In rain, the magma cools, slowing its movement. |
