From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Magikarp is a Pokémon considered by most to be the most useless Pokémon in the series of the game. It is number 129 in the original games Pokédex and evolves into Gyarados at level 20. It is a water type Pokémon.
As said above, Magikarp is typically considered to be a very useless Pokémon. This is because it had no real physical attacks. The original move it had is called Splash, which does nothing. The only move it originally had that even did some damage was Tackle. Since Gold and Silver is also has had the move Flail, but it would be worthless if you stuck with Magikarp long enough to get the move (instead of evolving it into Gyarados).
The evolved form of Magikarp, Gyarados, is a complete change from this worthless Pokémon. Gyarados is instead a fearsome dragon-like Pokémon with some very strong attacks. This makes training a young Magikarp worth it in the long run.
