> Lava Pokemon
> fire type.
Ughh Lava is just molten rock not actually liquid fire. It should be pure rock type.

Oops

That is just a thing that caught fire next to the lava pokemon.
I'm sure you are hilarious, OP.
Torkoal, Numel/Camerupt, and Heatran are also melted material Pokémon, and they are fire-types.
I hope Magcargo gets a new evolution

Is magcargo the most unfortunate pokemon /vp/?
>very poor stat distribution and overall low bst
>terrible defensive typing (although pretty cool offensively, if special rock moves were a thing)
>meh abilities
>usually available either mid-late game when superior options have already been made available
>gets fun stuff like shell smash but is probably the worst user of it
>mega prospects grim and unlikely to help it much even if it got one
It's a shame too because its a very cool pokemon design; one of my favorites

Who care about Pokémon competitively and Pokémon is not a fighting game.
I'll still collect it and use it.
>>26686331
His design is great and he's a shitmon. That's a great combination, and feels great to slap on your team in a game with shit variety.

I'd like one of my favorite pokémon to be useful in battles, since it's the fucking main point of the gameplay. Collecting stuff without battles would be boring as shit. Always import from previous games and only catch new shit to fill your dex, otherwise it's tedious as fuck.

It's autistic as hell but it actually annoys me a little that magma and lava are always associated with fire desu. There's no reason why it shouldn't be ground or rock.
It doesn't help that a lot of people seem to really think that lava/magma are related to fire.

magma is weak to water IRL and turns into stone, which is weak to water as well, it's hot so it burns which is a fire associated stat, it could be used to smother like rock moves but that's death by suffocation so it's more like consumption of fire than just bashing with a boulder. It's not the only umbrella typing in Pokemon, look at Steel and technological shit.
