Magby can breathe out 1100-degree Fahrenheit flames, and hot embers drip from its mouth. It is also able to use the move Smog.
Behavior
A Magby's health is determined by the flames that it spews from its mouth. Yellow flames show that a Magby is in good health while a Magby that is spewing flames that are mixed with a lot of smoke show that it is fatigued. However, Magby is able to intentionally expel such obscuring smoke, as to lower the accuracy of the opponent.

Magby's state of health is determined by observing the fire it breathes. If the Pokémon is spouting yellow flames from its mouth, it is in good health. When it is fatigued, black smoke will be mixed in with the flames.
