Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Magcargo. However, its typing has received much criticism over the generations for being 4x weak against common moves like Earthquake, Surf, Waterfall, and Earth Power.
- Magcargo's sprites in Gold and Silver were pink and blue, despite its official artwork. This was then corrected in Crystal when Magcargo's shiny was changed to pink, like its sprite in Gold and Silver.
- Despite the fact Magcargo's shell crumbles easily, in the anime it retracts to its shell and protects it from damage.
- Magcargo's body is over 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which should be hot enough to melt flesh. However, it has made contact with pokemon many times in the anime and none of them felt any burning from its body.
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. The word cargo can also be found, referring to the shell it carries.
Its French name, Volcaropod, comes from volcan and gastéropode.
