Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Magcargo.
- Magcargo's sprites in Gold and Silver were pink and blue, despite its official artwork, this was then corrected in Crystal, and Magcargo's shiny was changed to pink, likes its sprite in Gold and Silver.
- Some say Magcargo's high Defense is negated by terrible HP and common weaknesses.
Origin
Magcargo is based on a snail.
Name origin
Magcargo's name is a combination of magma, intrusive molten rock, and escargot, the French word for snail.
