Trivia

• Unlike most Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving, Magcargo's base stat total does not increase by 100 points upon Mega Evolution, instead increasing by 110 points.
  • The only other Mega Evolved Pokémon that do not receive a base stat total increase of 100 are Mega Eevee and Mega Alakazam (prior to Generation VII).
