To evolve Magmar into Magmortar, you need to use a Magmarizer item, which can be obtained through various methods, and then trade the Magmar while it is holding the Magmarizer, or in Pokémon Go, you can use a Sinnoh Stone and 100 Magmar Candy to evolve it without trading. The evolution process is straightforward, but the methods to obtain the required items and the evolution process itself can vary depending on the Pokémon game you are playing.
Evolution Methods
The evolution of Magmar into Magmortar is a significant step in strengthening your team, especially considering Magmortar‘s powerful Special Attack stats.
Trading with Magmarizer
In the main series games, Magmar evolves into Magmortar when it is traded while holding a Magmarizer. This method requires two players and ensures that the evolution occurs immediately after the trade is completed.
Using Sinnoh Stone in Pokémon Go
In Pokémon Go, the evolution process is simplified, and you don’t need to trade. Instead, you can use a Sinnoh Stone along with 100 Magmar Candy to evolve Magmar into Magmortar directly.
