Description: An orange fish Pokémon that resembles a koi, Magikarp is known for its constantly vacant expression and inability to do much of anything aside from flop about. It has white fins on its side and tail, and yellow fins on top and bottom. It also has a pair of long barbels or whiskers that are yellow for males and white for females. Scientists believe that Magikarp used to be much stronger but the only evidence that remains of this are their hardiness and the ability of some especially old Magikarp to leap incredibly high. However, this weak little fish is not without potential. A dedicated Trainer will be rewarded for spending the time and care it takes to raise a Magikarp.

Magikarp in Pokémon Go
Pokédex: 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.
