How to Evolve Magmar into Magmortar in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

We've put together a guide for trainers looking to evolve their Magmar into a Magmortar in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

Magmar was originally introduced within Generation I alongside its electric-type "cousin," Electabuzz. These two Pokemon became irrevocably intertwined with the advent of Generation II when they both received pre-evolved "baby" forms: Magby and Elekid. Later, in Generation IV, the two added another branch to their evolutionary tree in the form of Magmortar and Electivire.

In this piece, we'll be talking about Magmortar and how trainers can evolve their Magmar in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

How to Evolve Magmar into Magmortar

Trainers can evolve their Magmar into a Magmortar by showing it a Magmarizer item.

This item, often paired with its electric-type counterpart, the Electirizer, was originally introduced in Generation IV alongside the two new evolutionary forms of Magmar and Electabuzz, Magmortar and Electivire, respectively. For more information about how to get a Magmarizer, we recommend checking out our Evolutionary Item guide.

Also known as the "Spitfire" Pokemon, Magmar is said to have originated from a volanco. When injured, this Pokemon bathes directly in volcanic hot lava as a human would soak in a hot spring. This allows it to relax and heal. Its Hisuian PokeDex number is #175.

Magmortar, the "Blast" Pokemon, can melt metals such as iron with a single fireball. It shoots fire from the cannons built into its arms and makes its home inside volcanos. According to researchers, a single volcano often contains a male and female pair of this species. Its Hisuian PokeDex number is #176.
