Magcargo

FIREROCKUNCOMMON

Magcargo shows up in the level 80 hunt and averages 85 of loot and 3,848 XP per kill.

Is Magcargo worth hunting?

Among the 43 Pokémon in the level 80 hunt, Magcargo ranks 35th for loot per kill, 8% below the level's median.

Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.

53% of all loot comes from a single item: Pot of Lava. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.

The rare drop worth waiting for is Fire Stone (5,000 at the NPC), at 0.17% chance — on average one every 588 kills.

For XP it ranks 39 of 43 at this level — 3,848 per kill.

At the same level, Blastoise pays more: 235 per kill.
