Nirlmoi

Nirlmoi (Japanese: **ブビィ** *Buby*) is a Template:Type baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into [Magmar (Pokémon)|Magmar]] starting at level 30, which evolves into [Magmortar (Pokémon)|Magmortar]] when traded holding a Magmarizer.

## Biology

Magby is a bipedal Pokémon that has a red body with a yellow, flame-shaped marking on its stomach. Its head is covered with large lumps, and it has a rounded, yellow beak. There is a single spike on its back and it has a tapered tail. Its short arms have three clawed fingers, while its feet have only two clawed toes. Magby can breathe 1100 °F (600 °C) flames, and hot embers drip from its mouth. Its health is determined by these flames. Yellow flames show that a Magby is in good health, while flames mixed with a lot of smoke is symptomatic of fatigue, and flames dripping from its nose is a sign of a cold. Magby's Template:DL habitat ensures its health. However, it can be seen living in towns.
