Showing my boi Magcargo some love! ( Magcargo Buff)
As the title suggests, I'll be trying to buff the very underused Magcargo. Before I start, I'll be going over some things I'll be keeping In my mind when buffing Magcargo:
- Original ideas
- No unnecessary or crazy Stat buffs
- Buffs should make sense thematically
Without further Ado Here are the buffs:
Magcargo buffs:
Type: Fire/Rock
Stats:
HP: 60
Atk: 50>30(-20)
Def: 120
Sp.Atk: 90>100(+10)
Sp.Def: 80>105(+15)
Speed: 30
BST: 430>445(+15)
Abilities: Magma Armor / Flame body / HA: Weak Armor
My first idea for abilities was an ability called Granite Sheath, which halved all Super effective dmg.
It was based on the granite rock, the strongest igneous rock known to man, and was also inspired by this dex entry,
"The shell on its back is made of hardened magma. Tens of thousands of years spent living in volcanic craters have turned Macargo's bodies into magma."
Until I read this-
"The shell on its back is just skin that has cooled and hardened. It breaks easily with a slight touch."
So, there goes that...
Anyways, I'll be reworking Magma Armor, and turning it into a signature ability for Magcargo( bye camerupt!)
Magma Armor rework:
- This pokemon does not take any damage from Water and Fire moves.
- it's Fire type moves are unaffected by the Rain
Emerald: "Magcargo's body temperature is approximately 18,000 degrees F. Water is vaporized on contact. If this POKéMON is caught in the rain, the raindrops instantly turn into steam, cloaking the area in a thick fog."
The ability rework is based on this dex entry. Didn't really know what to do for the thick fog mentioned in the entry without making it toi complicated or overdoing it.
Notable Moves:
Heat wave, Tera blast, Over heat, Recover, Power Gem, Earth Power, Protect, Stealth rocks
Eruption ( New added move)
This is gonna be so busted in Trick Room, VGC 😭, while just having 445 BST! Reliable recovery + Eruption go boom!
What do you guys think?
