Basics
Magby is a Fire-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 756 at level 20 (raids, eggs and research), 945 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 1,496 at level 50. It is weak to Water/Ground/Rock attacks (1.6×). It resists Fire/Grass/Ice/Bug/Steel/Fairy attacks. In raids, Ember + Flamethrower is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). It evolves into Magmar with 25 Candy. As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 5 km you walk together.

Magby's state of health is determined by observing the fire it breathes. If the Pokémon is spouting yellow flames from its mouth, it is in good health. When it is fatigued, black smoke will be mixed in with the flames.
