'''Slugma''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグマッグ''' ''Magmag'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].
'''Slugma''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグマッグ''' ''Magmag'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Magcargo}} starting at [[level]] 38.

==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Slugma is a limbless {{wp|gastropoda|gastropod}} {{wp|mollusk}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of {{wp|magma}}. Its body is bright red, fading to a duller red along its extremities. It has large, round, yellow eyes with small pupils. Slugma's head is ovoid with flame-like extensions spreading upward from its eyes and round, stable drops of magma dangling from its upper jaw. Its lower body is irregular in shape, and occasionally emits bubbles.
Slugma are fiery Pokémon that appear to consist entirely out of magma. They appear to resemble slugs, with a pair of bright yellow eyes on short stalks and a small mouth. The magma inside its body acts as a circulatory system, transferring vital nutrients and oxygen throughout their bodies. These Pokémon have to constantly keep moving to keep the magma in a liquid state - if it cooled the magma would harden and turn to rock.
====Gender differences====
None.


===Special abilities===
Slugma's circulatory system is composed entirely of magma, which delivers vital nutrients and oxygen to its organs. To prevent its body from cooling and hardening, Slugma neither sleeps nor ever stops moving. If its body does begin to cool, it will become brittle and may break apart. Slugma constantly seeks warm places and gathers with other members of its species in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}} and volcanoes. Slugma takes magma baths to heal itself. It is believed that when volcanoes were more active in ancient times, Slugma were seen more often.


===Behavior===
===Evolution===
Slugma have to keep moving in order to keep warm; if they stopped moving, the magma would cool and become rock, which would eventually break off and reduce this Pokémon's size. For this reason they never sleep.
Slugma evolves into {{p|Magcargo}}.


===Habitat===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
[[Image:Mountain.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
Naturally, Slugma prefer warmer regions where they can keep their magma hot, so they are often found in volcanic regions.

===Diet===

===NPC appearances===
*{{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: In the Special Episode [[Today's "Oh My Gosh"]], two Slugma are summoned by {{p|Haunter}} to fight {{mdc|Sunflora|2}} at the [[Spring Cave]].
It is not known what these Pokémon eat, presumably they consume soil and rocks to both keep the volume of their magma and collect vital nutrients for their bodies.
 
==In the anime==
[[Image:Slugma in anime.PNG|thumb|right|210px|[[Flannery]] with her Slugma]]
 
Slugma made its debut in the anime as one of [[Macey]]'s Pokémon in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'' and was used in her battle against Ash in the Silver Conference. At the end of the episode it had evolved into {{p|Magcargo}}.
 
A Slumga also appeared in ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]''.
 
[[Flannery]] had two Slugma named Mag and Meg, one of which evolved to Magcargo in ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion!]]''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Slugma and {{p|Magcargo}} are the only Fire-type Pokémon that are in the {{egg3|Indeterminate}}.
* Despite being a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, Slugma was actually native to [[Kanto]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. The same is true for {{p|Murkrow}} and {{p|Houndour}}.
* It is one of the only two non-{{type2|Rock}} Pokémon to learn {{m|Rock Slide}} via level-up (the other being {{p|Camerupt}}). However, it does evolve ''into'' a Rock-type.
** Additionally, while Murkrow and Houndour are catchable in [[Johto]] via the {{safari|Johto}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the only possible way to get a Slugma before obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver is to receive it from [[Primo]] as an {{pkmn|Egg}}; it must otherwise be [[trade]]d in or [[transfer]]red from a [[Pokéwalker]] linked to a game that has already unlocked the National Pokédex.
* Despite multiple Pokédex entries claiming that it never sleeps and is on the move constantly, it can learn {{m|Rest}}, and is perfectly capable of {{status|sleep}}ing.
* Slugma has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
** Its {{game|Emerald}} Pokédex entry contradicts its other Pokédex entries by stating it has to sleep near magma, instead of stating that it doesn't sleep at all.
** Slugma also has the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Fire-type Pokémon.
* Slugma's shiny form seems to depict it as cooled and hardened magma.
** Slugma is tied with {{p|Torkoal}}, {{p|Litwick}}, and {{me|Camerupt}} for the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Fire-type Pokémon.
* Slugma's {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} sprite shows its eyes as parts of its "ears," but in later generations the eyes were moved to the top of its head.
* Slugma and its evolved form, {{p|Magcargo}}, are the only Fire-type {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with serpentine bodies}}.

Slugma's {{shiny}} form may be based on cooled, hardened magma, which becomes a dark, metallic color. The form may also be based on {{wp|solder}}, a liquid metal that is extremely hot and hardens when it cools, similarly to lava.

Slugma (Japanese: マグマッグ Magmag) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into Magcargo starting at level 38.

Biology

Slugma is a limbless gastropod mollusk Pokémon composed of magma. Its body is bright red, fading to a duller red along its extremities. It has large, round, yellow eyes with small pupils. Slugma's head is ovoid with flame-like extensions spreading upward from its eyes and round, stable drops of magma dangling from its upper jaw. Its lower body is irregular in shape, and occasionally emits bubbles.

Slugma's circulatory system is composed entirely of magma, which delivers vital nutrients and oxygen to its organs. To prevent its body from cooling and hardening, Slugma neither sleeps nor ever stops moving. If its body does begin to cool, it will become brittle and may break apart. Slugma constantly seeks warm places and gathers with other members of its species in mountains and volcanoes. Slugma takes magma baths to heal itself. It is believed that when volcanoes were more active in ancient times, Slugma were seen more often.

Evolution

Slugma evolves into Magcargo.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Slugma stays near the lava because if its magma body ever cools, it will harden and make this Pokémon unable to move. It often burns its food with its own heat, so eating can be a tricky task for it.

Trivia

Origin

Slugma appears to be based on a slug with a body of lava. It may also be based on the Cherufe, evil creatures of rock and magma that inhabit the magma pools found deep within Chilean volcanoes. Slugma's Shiny form may be based on cooled, hardened magma, which becomes a dark, metallic color. The form may also be based on solder, a liquid metal that is extremely hot and hardens when it cools, similarly to lava.

Name origin

Slugma may be a combination of slug and magma.

Magmag may be a combination of magma and slug.
