'''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.
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Magcargo}} starting at [[level]] 38.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
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 are fiery Pokémon that appear to consist entirely of magma. They resemble slugs, with a pair of bright yellow eyes on short stalks and a small mouth. The magma inside its body acts as a circulatory system, transferring vital nutrients and oxygen throughout their bodies.
====Gender differences====
None.


===Special abilities===
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.
As a Fire-type Pokémon composed of magma, Slugma is proficient at using attacks such as {{m|Lava Plume}} and {{m|Flamethrower}}.


Because of Slugma's abilities, Flame Body and Magma Armor, its body heat causes Pokémon eggs to hatch more quickly in its presence.
==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.


===Behavior===
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.
Slugma have to keep moving in order to keep warm; if they stopped moving, the magma would cool and become rock, which would eventually break off and reduce this Pokémon's size. For this reason, they never sleep.


===Habitat===
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}}.
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Naturally, Slugma prefer warmer regions where they can keep their magma hot, so they are often found in volcanic regions.


===Diet===
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.
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It is not known what these Pokémon eat, but they presumably consume soil and rocks to both keep the volume of their magma and collect vital nutrients for their bodies.


==In the anime==
===Minor appearances===
[[Image:Flannery Meg.png|thumb|right|210px|Slugma in the anime]]

===Major appearances===

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Despite multiple Pokédex entries claiming that it never sleeps and is on the move constantly, it can learn {{m|Rest}}, and is perfectly capable of {{status|sleep}}ing.
* 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}}.
** Its {{game|Emerald}} Pokédex entry contradicts its other Pokédex entries by stating it has to sleep near magma, instead of stating that it doesn't sleep at all.
** 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.
* Though it is supposedly made of magma, it appears that most {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can touch it without being badly burned. It shares this trait with {{p|Ponyta}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, and its evolution, {{p|Magcargo}}.
* Slugma has the lowest base stat total of all Fire-type Pokémon.
* 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}}.  
** 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===
===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 magma that inhabit the magma pools found deep within Chilean volcanoes. Slugma's {{shiny}} form may be based on cooled, hardened {{wp|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.

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.
