Pokemon Farming: Magby
September 26, 2007
Today in Pokemon Farming we present: Magby, the ‘live coal Pokemon!’
Magby, and it’s evolutions Magmar and Magmortar are all tricky to get in-game, to get Magby you have to go to Stark Mountain with Leafgreen inserted into your DS and hunt one down. Too bad if you don’t have Leafgreen, because you can’t get it! If you do manage to get one, you can level it up to Lv. 30 and it will evolve into Magmar, a throwback to first generation games. To get the final Evolution, Magmortar is tricky yet again, you have to not only trade it, but trade it with the item Magmarizer attached, which you can pick off a wild Magby. How extremely complicated!
Well today, I intend to help you with one of the steps, by handing out Magby! But this is no run-of-the-mill fire starter Magby, this is a mind-reading, future-telling, Psychic Magby!
Looking in on Magby’s beefy movepool, I see that it can learn the rather powerful Psychic move, well, Psychic! Here the whole cool move set I gave it:
- Psychic
- Thunderpunch (to deal with those pesky water types)
- Fire Blast (Powerful STAB)
- Fire Punch (STAB)
Magby and its evolutions all have the ability Flame Body, which will burn the opponent if they come in contact with the user. This is also the ability which, when using these Pokes in your party, can half the time to hatch eggs! You can read all about it in our article, Hatching Eggs The Fast and Easy Way.
I looked into seeing if I could hand out the item with it, but I can’t! I have Diamond, which Magbys found in the wild have a much lower chance of having of the wild-held item (5%!), Pearl having a 50% chance. Also, I don’t even have Leafgreen! So I can NOT give out Magmarizers!
So you want one of my crystal-ball-gazing Psychic Magbys?
- Comment with your Name and Friend Code
- Even if we have traded before, I need your information again!
- Get a Pokemon to trade (preferably non-Sinnoh, though I will take anything, items are always appreciated. If anyone has a Slakoth to spare though, I’ll gladly take one! Not required though, of course!)
- Be in the Wi-Fi zone at 7pm EDT on September 27 (Thursday)
- Make yourself available to Trade (Invite–>Trade) I will come to you when I’m ready.
- I am only giving out Magbys tonight, sorry!

a slakoth is hatched but no special moves. after reading all the post, i think you’ll have lots of Slakoth. So instead i’ll just give you a surprise pokemon.
Sorry about the confusion I didn’t have it written down that you wanted a male, and how generous of you to trade me that! I really appreciate it!
I’d like to get a Female Mabgy please.

I will be going in and out of the wifi to restock the magbys, don’t worry, I will be right back!
One more thing, if you post asking for a Magby after this one, it will take me a couple extra minutes to get to you, My Pal Pad is completely full! But dont worry, I will get you one.
