Evolves into Magcargo at level 38.

Evolve now or wait

from the game's learnsets and the relearner rule

Slugma evolves at level 38. Nothing is lost by evolving straight away: every move Slugma learns after that, Magcargo learns too.

Rule the game applies: the Move Relearner in Fallarbor Town (he takes a Heart Scale) teaches only the level-up moves of the form you hand him, at or below its current level. Delaying an evolution costs the evolved form's higher base stats for every level you wait; a move you barely use is not worth that.
