Magmortar (Japanese: ブーバーン Booburn) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Magmar when traded holding a Magmarizer. It is the final form of Magby.
Biology
Physiology
Magmortar is the evolved form of Magmar. It looks like a buffed up humanoid creature with characteristics of a duck and salamander.
Its legs are similar to Magmar's except that Magmortar has pink thighs and its legs are smaller in proportion to its body than Magmar's, whose legs are in proportion to its own body (which is why Magmortar moves slower than Magmar). Instead of a beak and two flame-like horns it had as a Magmar, Magmortar has pink lips and one singular flame on its head. Its other notable features are the two rows of pink spikes running down its back, red and yellow flame stripes on its body and a tail that is entirely covered in flames.
Magmortar also has orange shoulder pads that resemble flames and yellow, tubular arms with a black band and three claws on each one. When Magmortar prepares to attack with its hands, the claws may disappear into its skin, forming something similar to a cannon.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Magmortar can use any attack its pre-evolutions do, but obviously stronger. Magmortar can also use Thunderbolt, Earthquake, SolarBeam, and Rock Slide, all which can be useful in taking down foes with an advantage over it.
Behavior
It blasts fireballs of over 3,600 degrees F from the ends of its arms, its body taking on a whitish hue from the heat.
Habitat
Magmortar live in the deep, boiling-hot craters of volcanoes.

Trivia
- Magmortar, along with Electivire, Gliscor, and Tangrowth, are the only Generation IV Pokémon that explicitly required the use of a Generation III game in order to be available until the release of Pokémon Platinum. In this case, both the Magmarizer and Magby are only available through dual-slot mode with Pokémon LeafGreen.
- Magmortar can learn ThunderPunch, a move not of its type, in three different ways: as a starting move, by tutoring, and as an egg move. It shares this trait with its counterpart, Electivire, who learns Fire Punch in this manner.
- Magmortar and Electivire's relation is reminiscent of that of Reshiram and Zekrom, since both are oppositions between fire and electricity.
Origin
Magmortar seems to be a buffed-up combination of a duck or booby with a mythical salamander of fire.
Name origin
Magmortar comes from magma and mortar, probably referring to how it shoots fireballs from its cannon-like arms. Booburn is based on the names of its pre-evolutions and the words booby and burn.
