How to Get Shiny Magmar in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee
In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, the strongest route to a Shiny Magmar is Catch Combo, which reaches about 1 in 274 at full boosts. Pick a method and tune your setup below to see live odds. Compare Shiny Magmar odds across every game
Shiny Magmar Evolution
Does Not EvolveLet's Go Pikachu & Eevee Shiny Magmar Calculator
2 MethodsThe best route is Catch Combo at full boosts, about 1 in 274 on each try. Tune it below.
Catch Combo: Catch one species back-to-back. A Lure stacks on top of a 31-plus combo.
Full Odds: Walk through grass, surf, or fish. Every encounter is its own independent shiny roll.
How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters |
|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 29 |
| 25%one in four | 79 |
| 50%coin flip | 190 |
| 90%very likely | 630 |
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.

Magmar Weakness
Type-wise, Magmar takes extra damage from Water, Ground, and Rock. 6 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Magmar's special bulk (base 85 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Water, Ground, Rock |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Grass, Ice, Bug, Steel, Fairy |

Magmar Evolutions
Magmar doesn't evolve, so what you catch is the final form. Its Fire typing comes with 495 total stats. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Let's Go Magmar Best Moveset
100 Sp. Atk at 93 Speed behind Fire TermStab. No Magmortar evolution exists here, so this is the final form. The moveset runs special Fire at decent power but the stat ceiling is lower than what other Fire-types like Arcanine and Charizard offer. 65/57/85 bulk collapses to any super-effective hit.
Best Build
Magmar Candy
Smart Candy+SPAMild raises Sp. Atk and lowers Defense. Madam Celadon sets this nature when you pick Blue, then Yellow. It costs 10,000 Pokedollars and lasts for the rest of the day.
Candy for Magmar

Master Trainer

Moves List
TMs define Magmar's movepool. The natural moves cover basics with Fire Blast and Flamethrower, but the real versatility comes from technical machines giving it Poison and Fighting coverage and more. That's where the options open up.
