Pokédex Description



- In the distant past, the Magikarp was somewhat stronger than the weaker descendants that exist today.

- Famous for being very unreliable. It can be found swimming in seas, lakes, rivers and shallow puddles.


- An underpowered, pathetic Pokemon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.

- For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like Pidgeotto to catch it in mid-jump.

- This weak and pathetic Pokemon gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.


- Magikarp is a pathetic excuse for a Pokemon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.

- Magikarp is virtually useless in battle as it can only splash around. As a result, it is considered to be weak. However, it is actually a very hardy Pokemon that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is.

- Its swimming muscles are weak, so it is easily washed away by currents. In places where water pools, you can see many Magikarp deposited there by the flow.

- It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world.

- In the distant past, the Magikarp was somewhat stronger than the weaker descendants that exist today.


- It is said to be the world’s weakest Pokémon. No one knows why it has managed to survive.

- It is unable to swim against even slow-moving currents. It always splashes about for some reason.

- A MAGIKARP living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash. The move remains useless, though.

- An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but usually not more than seven feet.

- For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like PIDGEOTTO to catch it mid-jump.
