Slugma (Japanese: マグマッグ Magmag) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Slugma are fiery Pokémon that appear to consist entirely of magma. They 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.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
As a Fire-type Pokémon composed of magma, Slugma is proficient at using attacks such as Lava Plume and Flamethrower.
Because of Slugma's abilities, Flame Body and Magma Armor, its body heat causes Pokémon eggs to hatch more quickly in its presence.
Behavior
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.
Habitat
Naturally, Slugma prefer warmer regions where they can keep their magma hot, so they are often found in volcanic regions.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
It is not known what these Pokémon eat, but they presumably consume soil and rocks to both keep the volume of their magma and collect vital nutrients for their bodies.
In the anime

Trivia
- Despite multiple Pokédex entries claiming that it never sleeps and is on the move constantly, it can learn Rest, and is perfectly capable of sleeping.
- Its Pokémon 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.
- Though it is supposedly made of magma, it appears that most Trainers can touch it without being badly burned.
- Despite being a Generation II Pokémon, it was actually native to Kanto in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. The same is true for Murkrow and Houndour.
- Additionally, while Murkrow and Houndour are catchable in Johto via the Safari Zone in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, 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 egg - it must otherwise be traded in or transferred from a Pokéwalker linked to a game which has already unlocked the National Pokédex.
- Slugma is tied with Torkoal and Hitomoshi for the lowest Speed of all Fire-types.
Origin
It is based on a slug, made of lava.
Slugma's Shiny form may be based on cooled, hardened magma, which becomes a dark metallic color.
Name origin
Slugma's name is a combination of slug and magma. Its Japanese name is also a combination magma and slug.
In other languages
- German: Schneckmag - From Schnecke (snail or slug) and magma.
- French: Limagma - From limace (slug) and magma.
- Korean: 마그마그 Mageumageu
- Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong): 熔岩蟲 Róng Yán Chóng - "Lava worm".
