The Pokémon Magmar is one of the original fire-types, being part of an esteemed group that also includes Charizard, Ninetales, and Arcanine - Kanto is home to some fantastic walking flamethrowers. Magmar is also synonymous with the Pokémon Manor, being more of a late-game beast, but that just means it's combat-ready when you get it. As long as you understand its strengths and weaknesses, you'll be unstoppable.
Beyond the aforementioned Kanto fire-types, there are plenty more great examples in the Pokédex, so make sure you check it out if you want to see what firestarters await you in other regions. You can also consult our Pokémon Go codes list if you're running low on balls and berries.
