How to Get Magmortar
Since Magmortar is an exclusive Pokémon in Shining Pearl, the only way to obtain it is if you own a Brilliant Diamond and perform a trade.
The first thing you’ll need to get Magmortar is a Magby. You can’t encounter a Magmortar in the wild, you must capture its base Pokémon and evolve it.
You will also need to have a special hold item known as Magmarizer, and you can get this item from a Magby and if you’re lucky, you could get both items at once.
In finding the Magby, it’s worth noting that it is a rare spawn that can be seen in caves and caverns in the Grand Underground. Below are the three places where you can encounter a Magby:
Volcanic Cave – 30% chance
Sandsear Cave – 20% chance
Typhlo Cavern – 20% chance
However, not every Magby you encounter will be carrying a Magmarizer. There’s only about 5% chance that a Magby will be carrying a Magmarizer. It might take a while and several tries but if you really wish to get a Magmortar, then it’s worth it.
Once you’ve gotten a Magby and a Magmarizer, then you have to reach level 30 with the Magby and evolve it into a Magmar. Yep, that’s right. There are three stages to this. First a Magby, Magmar, then Magmortar.
So after having a Magmar, you can now evolve into a Magmortar. But you’ll need to have a trade partner for this next step. It could be another Switch unit you already own or a different player entirely, it’s your choice.
You can then trade your Magmar whilst holding a Magmarizer and it will evolve into a Magmortar.
