Magcargo - Lava Pokémon
MAGCARGO's shell is actually its skin that hardened as a result of cooling. Its shell is very brittle and fragile - just touching it causes it to crumble apart. This POKéMON returns to its original size by dipping itself in magma.
French
Volcaropod - Pokémon Lave
La carapace de VOLCAROPOD est en fait constituée de sa peau, qui s'est durcie après un refroidissement. Elle est très cassante et fragile. Il suffit de la toucher pour qu'elle casse. Il reprend sa forme en plongeant dans le magma.
German
Magcargo - Lava
MAGCARGOs Schale ist eigentlich seine Haut, die erhärtet ist, als es auskühlte. Seine Schale ist sehr spröde und zerbrechlich. Schon bei einer leichten Berührung bricht sie auseinander. Dann muss es ein Bad in Magma nehmen.
Spanish
