MAGCARGO

Marcargo is an interesting Pokemon.  He evolves from Slugma.  Basically, Magcargo is a snail with a body made of molten lava.  This is a request from a customer on Etsy.  I must admit that I would not have made Magcargo without this request.  This pattern includes the color lists for both Magcargo and Shiny Magcargo.
