Magmar

Magmar, known as Boober (ブーバー, Būbā?) in Japan, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Magmar first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue (though only readily available in Blue) and subsequent sequels, later appearing in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated and printed adaptations of the franchise. It was given a pre-evolution called Magby in Pokémon Gold and Silver, and an evolution called Magmortar in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

Known as the Spitfire Pokémon, Magmar is a Fire type Pokémon that is born in an active volcano. It utilizes its heat and flames regularly such as adapting its environment to a comfortable temperature by blowing scorching flames around. It can also utilize lava to heal its wounds. According to IGN, its English name is derived from the word "magma". It is commonly associated with fellow Red and Blue Pokémon Jynx and Electabuzz.

Since it appeared in Red and Blue, Magmar has received mixed reception from critics. It was criticized for its appearance by GamesRadar and Destructoid which both wrote that its head resembled a butt. The Escapist used it as an example of weird-looking Pokémon from Red and Blue while IGN found it to be inferior to its counterpart Electabuzz. IGN found it to be a good Pokémon in its own right while Official Nintendo Magazine's readers named it the eighth best Fire type Pokémon.
