Magby (Japanese: ブビィ Buby) is a Fire-type baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into Magmar starting at level 30, which evolves into Magmortar when traded holding a Magmarizer.

Biology

Magby is a bipedal Pokémon that has a red body with a yellow, flame-shaped marking on its stomach. Its head is covered with large lumps, and it has a rounded, yellow beak. There is a single spike on its back and it has a tapered tail. Its short arms have three clawed fingers, while its feet have only two clawed toes.

Magby can breathe 1100 °F (600 °C) flames, and hot embers drip from its mouth. Its health is determined by these flames. Yellow flames show that a Magby is in good health, while flames mixed with a lot of smoke is symptomatic of fatigue, and flames dripping from its nose is a sign of a cold. Magby's volcanic habitat ensures its health. However, it can be seen living in towns. Magby is known to be rather small and timing. It leaks out flames when excited or surprised. It prefers to soak in the magma of volcano in order to recover from the day's fatigue.
