Descriptions
  • Red

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

  • Blue

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

  • Yellow

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

  • Gold

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

  • Silver

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

  • 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.

  • Sapphire

    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 POKéMON that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is.

  • Emerald

    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.

  • FireRed

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

  • 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.

  • Pearl

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

  • Platinum

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

  • HeartGold

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

  • SoulSilver

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

  • Black

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

  • White

  • Sun

    Although weak and helpless, this Pokémon is incredibly fertile. They exist in such multitudes, you’ll soon grow tired of seeing them.

  • Moon

    Its reckless leaps make it easy pickings for predators. On the bright side, many Pokémon enjoy longer life spans, thanks to Magikarp.

  • Ultra Sun

    In the distant past, they were fairly strong, but they have become gradually weaker over time.

  • Ultra Moon

    Thanks to their strong hold on life, dirty water doesn’t bother them at all. They live in waters all over the world!

  • Let's Go, Pikachu!

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

  • Let's Go, Eevee!

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

  • Legends: Arceus

    A feeble, pitiful imbecile of a Pokémon that is nonetheless very hardy. Unperturbed by turbid water, it can be found living in all sorts of places.
