Pokédex entries
| Ruby | NUMEL is extremely dull witted - it doesn’t notice being hit. However, it can’t stand hunger for even a second. This POKéMON’s body is a seething cauldron of boiling magma. |
|---|---|
| Sapphire | NUMEL stores magma of almost 2,200 degrees F within its body. If it gets wet, the magma cools and hardens. In that event, the POKéMON’s body grows heavy and its movements become sluggish. |
| FireRed LeafGreen | Magma of almost 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit courses through its body. When it grows cold, the magma hardens and slows it. |
| Emerald | A NUMEL stores boiling magma in the hump on its back. It is a hardy POKéMON that can transport a 220-pound load. It has served humans at work since long ago. |
| Diamond Pearl Platinum | Its humped back stores intensely hot magma. In rain, the magma cools, slowing its movement. |
| HeartGold SoulSilver | The flaming magma it stores in the hump on its back is the source of its tremendous power. |
| Black White | Its humped back stores intensely hot magma. In rain, the magma cools, slowing its movement. |
