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