Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| LegendsArceus | This Pokémon lives in volcanic areas. With each breath, sparks spurt from its mouth and nose. When Magby is in good health, its flames gain a yellow tint. |
| Gold | Each and every time it inhales and exhales, hot embers dribble out of its mouth and nostrils. |
| Silver | It is found in volcanic craters. Its body temp. is over 1100 degrees, so don’t underestimate it. |
