Overview |
Magby have internal body temperatures of over 1100°F (600°C) and can spit flames with similar heat. They can evaporate small puddles merely by standing near them. Their blood is magma-like; as they breathe, they let out tiny embers from their mouths and nostrils. Their health can be gauged from the color of their flames. Magby that spit out yellow or orange fire are healthy and in good shape. Those that exhale flames that are dull or are mixed with black smoke, however, are likely fatigued or ill. Magby that can only spew out smoke are critically hurt and should be taken to Pokémon Centers immediately. They make their homes directly in the craters of active volcanoes, right at the edges of lava pools. It is widely believed that if many Magby begin to cluster in the same crater within a short period of time, then the volcano in question will erupt very soon. While this has not yet been proven, scientists are currently looking into this phenomenon as a possible way to predict eruptions in densely-populated areas before they occur. Magby are also known for their use in ceramics; a famous Johto potter uses a Magby to fire his kiln.
