* Magcargo is the only Pokémon to be obtainable in every main [[Generation III]] game, if [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] are to be included. It is also included in every [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] game, making {{game|Black and White|s}} the first main games since its introduction where it cannot be obtained.

* Despite the fact that Magcargo's shell is described as being able to crumble easily, in the anime Magcargo have been depicted to retract into their shell as a form of damage protection.
* Magcargo has its sprite changed in [[Crystal]] from [[Gold and Silver]], in this case, its shell is edited slightly, making it one of few Pokémon to have three different sprites in Generation II.
* Magcargo's body is over 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit (significantly greater than that of the surface of the Sun, about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit), which should be hot enough to carbonize flesh. However, it has made contact with Pokémon many times in the anime and none of them felt any burning from its body. This trait is shared with {{p|Ponyta}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, and its own pre-evolution, {{p|Slugma}}.
* Despite the fact that water is vaporized on contact with Magcargo, it is doubly weak to {{type|Water}} attacks.
