Magcargo is a Fire, Rock-type Pokémon from the Johto region. It evolves from Slugma when fed 50 candies.

Pokédex description

Magcargo - Lava Pokémon
Magcargo's shell is actually its skin that hardened as a result of cooling. Its shell is very brittle and fragile—just touching it causes it to crumble apart. This Pokémon returns to its original size by dipping itself in magma.
