Magmar was later used in Paul's battle with Brandon, fighting against Regirock, but quickly being recalled. He was sent out again to battle Registeel and hit it with its Flamethrower, but Registeel lands an Iron Head, which caused it to flinch. Unlike Paul's other Pokémon, who'd he given up on, he recalled Magmar. But, he had to recall it when his other Pokémon were beaten, he sent it out against Regirock. It blocked Flamethrower and defeated Magmar with Shock Wave.DP128: A Pyramiding Rage!

Pikachu planted an Iron Tail, but Ash substituted him for Buizel due to the burn damage. Magmortar was able to continue after a direct hit from Aqua Jet and blocked Water Pulse with Rock Tomb.
