Pokédex Entries

Scarlet "This Pokémon lives near the craters of volcanoes. It stores fire energy in its shell of cooled and hardened magma." Violet "According to folklore, a sudden increase in the wild Magcargo population heralds a volcanic eruption."
Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl "Its body temperature is roughly 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Flames burst from gaps in its shell made of hardened magma."
