Magikarp is a Water-type Pokémon found in most bodies of water. It evolves into Gyarados at level 20.

Although Magikarp is capable of surviving in even the most polluted ponds, it is usually overlooked by trainers because it is pathetically weak; even in the heat of battle it will do nothing but flop around. It is not a strong swimmer, and currents in the water will sweep it downstream. They are normally seen using Splash to leap out of the water, which is strange, as it makes them easy targets to predators such as Pidgeot. Before the species multiplied, it is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than the Magikarp seen today, and this belief has led scientists to research this species. Magikarp shares little resemblance to its evolution.

Magikarp have an easter egg: a "Roasted Magikarp" skin if they have been set on fire. The skin is a paler color that implies being "cooked" and has crosses for eyes. If a roasted Magikarp is evolved, the resulting Gyarados will have a special "Zombie Gyarados" skin. Shiny Magikarp cannot get this skin nor evolve into zombie Gyarados.
