Summary

Magikarp is a Water-type Pokémon known for its notoriety as one of the weakest and most easily underestimated Pokémon in the franchise. While it appears to be almost useless in battles due to its limited move set and poor stats, it is well-known for its potential to evolve into the powerful and revered Pokémon, Gyarados.

Type: Water

Abilities: - Swift Swim: This ability doubles Magikarp's Speed stat during rain. - Hidden Ability (Rattled): This ability increases the Speed stat by one stage when the Pokémon is hit by a Bug, Ghost, or Dark-type move.

Interesting Facts: - Magikarp is inspired by the Asian myth about carp that leap over dragon gates and turn into dragons, symbolized in its evolution into Gyarados, a powerful dragon-like Pokémon. - In the games, Magikarp is typically caught using a fishing rod, and it is known for only knowing the move Splash upon being

  • Blue: In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.

  • Crystal: This weak and pathetic Pokémon gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.
  • Ruby: MAGIKARP is a pathetic excuse for a Pokémon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.

  • Leafgreen: In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
  • Diamond: It is said to be the world’s weakest Pokémon. No one knows why it has managed to survive.
