    K. My leafgreen Magmar:

    Magmar (M) @ Nothing
    Docile Nature - T_T

    - Flamethrower
    - Substitute
    - Focus Punch
    - ?

    What should the fourth move be? I was thinking Confuse Ray, but I'm not sure.
     
    ~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

    Thunderpunch please.

    You can get it from Emerald or breed with a Electabuzz/Medicham.

    ~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~
     
    Don't have Emerald.

    And Electabuzz and Meditite aren't available in Leaf Green.
     
    Substitute isn't great in-game in my opinion but whatever. You don't need Substitute to Focus Punch. Confuse Ray isn't the best way to go in-game either. You can try to get Thunderpunch on it if you trade it to your FireRed with the Sapphire so you can trade it to Emerald and try to get Thunderpunch, but that might be too much trouble for you. Psychic if you can't find anything else. There are probably a lot more good choices for Magmar but I can't think of any right now. :(
     
    Ingame, you really need Substitute to Focus Punch as the AI usually uses stupid moves, but attack moves nevertheless.

    MAGMAR @ Leftovers
    Flame Body

    - Fire Blast
    - Focus Punch/Cross Chop
    - Substitute/Thunderpunch
    - Thunderpunch/Confuse Ray

    You can lose Focus Punch for Cross Chop, if you could breed with a Machamp. But you do need Thunderpunch. Well...kind of, Thunderpunch won't do too much damage to a water type, and Surf is a OHKO on Magmar anyway...Sadly, Confuse Ray would be the best choice...
     
    This is in-game so yes Thunderpunch will do much to a Water-type. You're probably refering to the metagame because Surf hardly appears in FR/LG and probably won't OHKO unless if its used by Lapras in the Elite Four.
     
    Yea, I wish I could get Thunderpunch.

    I'd try to get Cross Chop, but I have a Female Machoke and Magmar is Male, sucky part is Magmars are hard to find.
    >.<
     
    Actually Focus Punch got 20 PP while Brick Break got 15.

    Both at 100% accuracy.
     
    ~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

    Focus Punch or Cross Chop are usually better choices than Brick Break, not just for Magmar, but for most Pokemon in general. Especially since Magmar's Attack isn't stellar and it gets no STAB from Fighting moves.

    Yh iv got the standerd

    Magmar (M) @ Lefties
    Mild Nature

    - Flamethrower
    - Substitute
    - Focus Punch
    - Thunderpunch

    Works pretty good ingame :) And not bad for competitive battling with friends.
     
    Sigh. More useless posts. Towlie has already stated that he (I assume Towlie=he) doesn't have Emerald. No Emerald means no Thunderpunch.

    Towlie, what you can do is breed Magmar with Ditto to get a female Magby and then breed Machoke with Ditto to get a male Machop. You can even keep breeding until you get the correct Nature that you want. Then, level up Machop to get CC and then breed it with female Magby to get Magby with CC.

    BTW - Sub works great in-game since the horrid AI can only use calculations to determine what move it will attack with. If not Sub, use Confuse Ray.
     
    Yea, I'll try the Ditto thing.

    And Sub is funny vs AI.
    Especially when they keep using Thunder Wave and stuff on it.
    I kept a Sub a whole battle before, just from stupid AI.
     
    Why do ya'll keep doin' the useless posts? Cut it out.

    Subpunch/Flamethrower/Confuse Ray end of story.
     
    Dawson, you're the one making useless posts.

    You're just repeating what people are stating.
     
    Do u no who ur talkin' 2? I'm Dawson123. I'm helpin' u and u r ungrateful so I'm not makin' useless posts u r.
     
    Do you know I don't care?

    See you're just taking my moveset, adding Confuse Ray as 4th, since other people said use it if I can't get thunderpunch.
     
    B quiet Towlie or wat ever ur name iz cuz I'm not takin' this anymore I work hard everyday and I still help u people and u r ungrateful b grateful.

    Fire Punch can go sumwhere in their.
