Magcargo is a Fire-type Pokémon with 120 HP, featuring a retreat cost of four Colorless energy. It appears in the XY series' Primal Clash set, released on February 4, 2015, and is classified as Uncommon rarity. The card’s artwork is by artist Shigenori Negishi, and its flavor text describes a creature whose body radiates intense heat, with flames frequently erupting from its shell. Magcargo possesses two attacks: Flame Burst, which costs a single Fire energy to deal 20 damage to two of the opponent’s Benched Pokémon, bypassing their Weakness and Resistance, and Flamethrower, requiring Fire and two Colorless energies to deal 90 damage while discarding an attached Energy. The Pokémon has no resistances and is weak to Water-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its design aligns with the Fire-type theme, emphasizing its fiery nature and destructive potential. The card’s set includes other Pokémon from the XY series, reflecting the competitive and strategic gameplay of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
