Pokédex Flavour (description)
- 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.
- Fire Red
- Its brittle shell occasionally spouts intense flames that circulate throughout its body.
- Leaf Green
- The shell on its back is just skin that has cooled and hardened. It breaks easily with a slight touch.
