'''Slugma''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグマッグ''' ''Magmag'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].
 
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Magcargo}} starting at [[level]] 38.
 
==Biology==
Slugma is a limbless Pokémon composed of {{wp|magma}}. Its body is bright red, fading to a duller red along its extremities. It has large, round, yellow eyes with small pupils. Slugma's head is ovoid with flame-like extensions spreading upward from its eyes and round, stable drops of magma dangling from its upper jaw. Its lower body is irregular in shape, and occasionally emits bubbles.
 
Slugma's circulatory system is composed entirely of magma, which delivers vital nutrients and oxygen to its organs. In order to prevent its body from cooling and hardening, Slugma neither sleeps nor ever stops moving. If its body does begin to cool, it will become brittle and may break apart. Slugma constantly seeks warm places, and gathers with other members of its species in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}} and volcanoes.
 
==In the anime==
[[File:Hoopa Slugma.png|thumb|left|250px|Slugma in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Slugma debuted in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]'', under the ownership of [[Macy]]. It was used in her [[Silver Conference]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}, where it battled {{AP|Totodile}} but was soon recalled. It then battled {{AP|Phanpy}} and was eventually defeated by its {{m|Take Down}}. At the end of the episode, it had evolved into {{p|Magcargo}} off-screen.
 
A Slugma appeared in ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]'', under the ownership of [[Natasha]]. It was used to protect her watermelon patch alongside her {{p|Grovyle}} and {{p|Electrode}}. It and Grovyle battled [[Ash's Corphish]] and {{AP|Treecko}}, and in the end, the match went to Natasha.
 
Two Slugma [[nickname]]d Mag and Meg appeared in ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion!]]'', under the ownership of [[Flannery]]. Mag later evolved into Magcargo. Meg reappeared in ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]'', where Flannery used it during her [[Gym]] battle against Ash. It battled Ash's Treecko and {{AP|Corphish}} before losing to {{AP|Pikachu}}.
 
A Slugma appeared in the Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures short ''{{DL|Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures|Heated Battle}}'', where it was summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} alongside a {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Magmortar}}, and {{p|Heatran}}; and they all used {{type|Fire}} attacks to set Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} on fire.
 
===Minor appearances===
A {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Slugma appeared in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''.
 
Multiple Slugma appeared in ''[[AG053|Game Winning Assist]]''.
 
A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Slugma appeared in ''[[SM034|A Crowning Moment of Truth!]]'', where it was among the Pokémon attending [[Wela Fire Festival]].

=In the manga=

=Pokédex entries=
A Slugma appeared in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' as one of the Pokémon sent to participate in the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].
; [[Pokémon Gold]]
: It never sleeps. It has to keep moving because if it stopped, its magma body would cool and harden.
; [[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 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.


=Game locations=
[[Blaise]] uses his Slugma to create illusions by generating waves of distorted air via heat, forcing targets to relive their worst memories. They first appeared in ''[[PS201|Slugging It Out with Slugma]]''.

==Trivia==
* Despite being a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, it was actually native to [[Kanto]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. The same is true for {{p|Murkrow}} and {{p|Houndour}}.
** Additionally, while Murkrow and Houndour are catchable in Johto via the {{safari|Johto}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the only possible way to get a Slugma before obtaining the National Pokédex in HeartGold and SoulSilver is to receive it from [[Primo]] as an Egg - it must otherwise be traded in or transferred from a Pokéwalker linked to a game which has already unlocked the National Pokédex.
* Slugma has the lowest base stat total of all Fire-type Pokémon.
** Slugma also has the lowest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all Fire-type Pokémon.
** Slugma is tied with {{p|Torkoal}}, {{p|Litwick}}, and [[Mega Camerupt]] for the lowest Speed base stat of all Fire types.
 
===Origin===
Slugma is based on a {{wp|slug}} with a body of {{wp|lava}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|Cherufe}}, evil creatures of rock and {{wp|magma}} that inhabit the magma pools found deep within Chilean volcanoes. Slugma's {{shiny}} form may be based on cooled, hardened magma, which becomes a dark, metallic color. The form may also be based on {{wp|solder}}, a liquid metal that is extremely hot and hardens when it cools, similarly to lava.
 
====Name origin====
Slugma is a combination of ''{{wp|slug}}'' and ''{{wp|magma}}''.
 
Magmag is a combination of ''magma'' and ''slug''<!--how is "slug" involved?-->.

Slugma (Japanese: マグマッグ Magmag) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into Magcargo starting at level 38.

Biology

Slugma is a limbless Pokémon composed of magma. Its body is bright red, fading to a duller red along its extremities. It has large, round, yellow eyes with small pupils. Slugma's head is ovoid with flame-like extensions spreading upward from its eyes and round, stable drops of magma dangling from its upper jaw. Its lower body is irregular in shape, and occasionally emits bubbles.

Slugma's circulatory system is composed entirely of magma, which delivers vital nutrients and oxygen to its organs. In order to prevent its body from cooling and hardening, Slugma neither sleeps nor ever stops moving. If its body does begin to cool, it will become brittle and may break apart. Slugma constantly seeks warm places, and gathers with other members of its species in mountains and volcanoes.

Trivia

  • Despite being a Generation II Pokémon, it was actually native to Kanto in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. The same is true for Murkrow and Houndour.
    • Additionally, while Murkrow and Houndour are catchable in Johto via the Safari Zone in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the only possible way to get a Slugma before obtaining the National Pokédex in HeartGold and SoulSilver is to receive it from Primo as an Egg - it must otherwise be traded in or transferred from a Pokéwalker linked to a game which has already unlocked the National Pokédex.
  • Slugma has the lowest base stat total of all Fire-type Pokémon.

Origin

Slugma is based on a slug with a body of lava. It may also be based on the Cherufe, evil creatures of rock and magma that inhabit the magma pools found deep within Chilean volcanoes. Slugma's Shiny form may be based on cooled, hardened magma, which becomes a dark, metallic color. The form may also be based on solder, a liquid metal that is extremely hot and hardens when it cools, similarly to lava.

Name origin

Slugma is a combination of slug and magma.

Magmag is a combination of magma and slug.
