==Battle properties==
Dark-type attacks:

* Are super-effective against: [[Psychic (type)|Psychic]], [[Ghost (type)|Ghost]]
* Are not very effective against: [[Fighting (type)|Fighting]], '''Dark''', [[Steel (type)|Steel]]
* Have no effect against: None

Dark-type Pokémon:

* Resist: [[Ghost (type)|Ghost]], '''Dark'''
* Are weak to: [[Fighting (type)|Fighting]], [[Bug (type)|Bug]]
* Have immunity to: [[Psychic (type)|Psychic]]

==Characteristics==
'''Dark'''-type Pokémon were added in [[Generation II]].
Dark-type Pokémon are notable for the fact that they don't have any strong stat trends other than Attack (which is in and of itself modified by a few powerful outliers), but usually have relatively poor defenses, with the exeption of {{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} (the second is probably due to its other type). Just the same, Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type2|Ghost}} have no true weaknesses, as the resistances of the Dark type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. One of the greatest advantages of Dark types, however, is that they are immune to [[Psychic (type)|Psychic]]-types. Dark attacks, when combatting Psychics, are especially useful due to their secondary effects; {{m|Crunch}} lowers Special Defense, {{m|Bite}} causes [[Status_ailments#flinch|Flinching]], and {{m|Faint Attack}} never misses. {{m|Pursuit}} hits a Pokémon on a switch. Many Dark attacks also involve stealing or deception, such as moves like {{m|Thief}}, which steals an opponent's held item, and {{m|Snatch}}, which temporarily steals one of the opponent's moves. This helps explain what "Dark" means, since it could easily be misconstrued that Dark refers to nighttime and darkness (despite the evolutionary connection between Umbreon and nighttime) . Interestingly, in Generations [[Generation II|II]] and [[Generation III|III]], Dark is treated as a Special type, but in [[Generation IV]], Dark has thirteen Physical attacks and only one Special attack.

Trophy Garden

2007-08-03T00:51:53Z

T rowsk: I've found a lot of Staravias and Roselias in the Trophy Garden, and I alphabitized the list

The '''Trophy Garden''' (Japanese: '''じまんのうらにわ''' ''Proud Back Garden'') is an area located on [[Route 212]] where many rare Pokémon can be caught.

There are many Pokémon that can be found here without any interaction with the Trophy Garden's owner, Mr. Backlot. All of these Pokémon are in the [[Sinnoh Dex]], however, and many can be found in other areas. After the player has defeated the [[Elite Four]] and gotten the [[National Dex]] upgrade, however, Pokémon that do not otherwise appear in Sinnoh will be placed in the Trophy Garden by Backlot's butler to cover up for his fibs, with a different one there daily.

==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.
; [[Pokémon Diamond]]
: Its body is made of magma. If it doesn't keep moving, its body will cool and harden.

'''Magcargo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: マグカルゴ ''Magcargot'') is a {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Rock}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===
==Behavior==
==Habitat==
==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=

Magcargo first appeared in [[EP240]]. A trainer named [[Egan]] was trying to capture an unusually large Magcargo.

The first time a normal-sized Magcargo appeared was in [[EP267]]. Also, [[Macey]]'s Slugma evolved sometime after battling [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]].

[[Flannery]] has a Magcargo that evolved from one of her two Slugma.

=Game data=
==Pokédex entries==
; [[Pokémon Gold]] / [[Pokémon LeafGreen]]
: The shell on its back is just skin that has cooled and hardened. It breaks easily with a slight touch.
; [[Pokémon Silver]] / [[Pokémon FireRed]]
: Its brittle shell occasionally spouts intense flames that circulate throughout its body.
; [[Pokémon Crystal]]
: Its body is as hot as lava and is always billowing. Flames will occasionally burst from its shell.
; [[Pokémon Ruby]]
: Magcargo's shell is actually its skin that hardened as a result of cooling. Its shell is very brittle and fragile - just touching it causes it to crumble apart. This Pokémon returns to its original size by dipping itself in magma.
; [[Pokémon Sapphire]]
: Magcargo's body temperature is approximately 18,000 degrees F. Water is vaporized on contact. If this Pokémon is caught in the rain, the raindrops instantly turn into steam, cloaking the area in a thick fog.
; [[Pokémon Emerald]]
: The shell on its back is made of hardened magma. Tens of thousands of years spent living in volcanic craters have turned Magcargo's bodies into magma.
; [[Pokémon Diamond]]
: Its body temperature is roughly 18,000 degrees F. Flames spout from gaps in its hardened shell.
