Notoriously protective of its community, Magroplex will go so far as to collapse mines approaching its nests. Its durable body allows it to dig miles underground.
Magroplex is the heaviest non-Legendary Pokémon in the Sage Pokédex.
Design origin[]
Magroplex and it’s pre-evolved forms may be based on the evolution of snakes, starting as a legged reptile like Orett, that evolved into one with less defined legs such as Anvelid and finally into a fully serpentine creature.
Magroplex may have also been inspired by prehistoric snakes such as the infamous Titanoboa.
Name origin[]
Magroplex's name is a combination of maggot, magnetic, macro, meaning "large", and -plex (meaning "comprised of several parts).
