CARDEX BACKGROUND
About the species
Slugma constantly travels through volcanic regions to stay close to heat. Magma circulates through its body, filling the role blood plays in other species by supplying what its organs need. If it stops moving or cools down, this material solidifies and its body becomes brittle. Fragments may then break off. Its incessant movement is therefore more than restlessness: it responds to a vital constraint imposed by its own composition.
This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.A detail worth noticing
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire explains that Slugma’s veins contain magma rather than blood. Pokémon Omega Ruby states that cooling can cause pieces to fall off. The heat of its habitat therefore directly preserves the integrity of its body.
