Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| Gold | The shell on its back is just skin that has cooled and hardened. It breaks easily with a slight touch. |
| Silver | Its brittle shell occasionally spouts intense flames that circulate throughout its body. |
| Crystal | Its body is as hot as lava and is always billowing. Flames will occasionally burst from its shell. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Heartgold | The shell on its back is just skin that has cooled and hardened. It breaks easily with a slight touch. |
| Soulsilver | Its brittle shell occasionally spouts intense flames that circulate throughout its body. |
| 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. |
| OmegaRuby | 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. |
| AlphaSapphire | 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. |
