Slugma • Generation IV Pokédex

Scarlet/Violet support is in the works!

Thank you for your interest in having the Marriland Pokédex updated to support Pokémon Scarlet & Violet! This has been something that I've been wanting to update for awhile, and it is my current project to implement support for the new games and The Teal Mask DLC. Thank you for your patience as I work on this over the coming week or two!

Slugma's Moves

Below is a list of all of the moves that Slugma can learn, along with what level it learns the move, the TM or TR number, and what egg moves it can learn, if any. Hover over a move (desktop/laptop) or click the ? button next to the move (mobile/tablet) to find out more about the move.

Slugma's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Slugma's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Slugma's Nature.

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Slugma is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.

Pokédex Entries for Slugma

Generation 4 Pokédex Entries

Diamond Pearl Platinum
Its body is made of magma. If it doesn't keep moving, its body will cool and harden.
HeartGold
It never sleeps. It has to keep moving because if it stopped, its magma body would cool and harden.
SoulSilver
A common sight in volcanic areas, it slowly slithers around in a constant search for warm places.

Generation 3 Pokédex Entries

Ruby
Molten magma courses throughout SLUGMA's circulatory system. If this POKéMON is chilled, the magma cools and hardens. Its body turns brittle and chunks fall off, reducing its size.
Sapphire
SLUGMA does not have any blood in its body. Instead, intensely hot magma circulates throughout this POKéMON's body, carrying essential nutrients and oxygen to its organs.
Emerald
It is a species of POKéMON that lives in volcanic areas. If its body cools, its skin hardens and immobilizes it. To avoid that, it sleeps near magma.
FireRed
A common sight in volcanic areas, it slowly slithers around in a constant search for warm places.
