Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| LegendsArceus | 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| OmegaRuby | 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. |
| AlphaSapphire | 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. |
| 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. |
| UltraSun | In the distant past, they were fairly strong, but they have become gradually weaker over time. |
| UltraMoon | Thanks to their strong hold on life, dirty water doesn’t bother them at all. They live in waters all over the world! |
| 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. |
| BrilliantDiamond | It is said to be the world’s weakest Pokémon. No one knows why it has managed to survive. |
| ShiningPearl | It is unable to swim against even slow-moving currents. It always splashes about for some reason. |
| Scarlet | An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions but never more than seven feet. |
| Violet | In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today. |
