Magmortar

Magmortar's trivia

Magmortar, along with Electivire, Gliscor, and Tangrowth, were the only Generation IV Pokémon that explicitly required a Generation III game to be available until Pokémon Platinum released, with both the Magmarizer and Magby only obtainable through dual-slot mode with Pokémon LeafGreen. Magmortar was designed by Hironobu Yoshida, and it is one of four Pokémon capable of having every non-event Ribbon, alongside Magmar, Magneton, and Magnezone.
