Magcargo Pokédex Entries

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.

LeafGreen:The shell on its back is just skin that has cooled and hardened. It breaks easily with a slight touch.
