Pokédex Entries for Magikarp
Generation 8 Pokédex Entries
Sword It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world. Shield This weak and pathetic Pokémon gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.
Generation 7 Pokédex Entries
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!
Generation 6 Pokédex Entries
X It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world. Y In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today. Omega 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. Alpha 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.
Generation 5 Pokédex Entries

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.
Generation 3 Pokédex Entries
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.
