About Magikarp

Magikarp is a Water-type Pokémon known as the Fish Pokémon. It is one of the most well-known and infamous Pokémon due to its seemingly weak and helpless appearance. Magikarp has a small, orange body with large, vacant eyes and prominent whisker-like structures. Despite its unimposing appearance, Magikarp’s true strength lies in its ability to endure and survive in various aquatic environments. It is a highly resilient Pokémon that can adapt to both fresh and saltwater habitats. However, Magikarp’s physical abilities are limited, and its most notable move is “Splash,” which is generally regarded as ineffective in battle. Despite this, Magikarp has the potential to evolve into a powerful and majestic Pokémon.

Evolution

Magikarp evolves into Gyarados starting at level 20.

Training and Experience Gain

Training Magikarp can be a challenging but rewarding experience. While its offensive capabilities are limited, training it can be achieved through patience and perseverance. Participating in battles and gaining experience points can eventually lead to its evolution into the powerful Gyarados. Engaging in battles against Electric and Grass-type Pokémon can be particularly beneficial for Magikarp’s training and experience growth.
