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."
X "Its brittle shell occasionally spouts intense flames that circulate throughout its body." Y "Its body is as hot as lava and is always billowing. Flames will occasionally burst from its shell."
Alpha Sapphire "Magcargo’s body temperature is approximately 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit. 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."
