Special abilities[]
As a Fire-type Pokémon composed of magma, Slugma is proficient at using attacks such as Lava Plume and Flamethrower.
Behavior[]
Slugma have to keep moving in order to keep warm; if they stopped moving, the magma would cool and become rock, which would eventually break off and reduce this Pokémon's size. For this reason, they never sleep.
Habitat[]
Naturally, Slugma prefer warmer regions where they can keep their magma hot, so they are often found in volcanic regions, such as Mt. Chimney.
Diet[]
