Collector Insights

Magikarp is a Water-type Pokémon with 30 HP. It features two attacks: Tackle, which costs one Colorless energy and deals 10 damage, and Flail, requiring one Water energy to deal 10× damage based on the number of damage counters on Magikarp. The card has no resistances and is weak to Lightning, which deals double damage. Its retreat cost is one Colorless energy. The artwork was created by artist Mitsuhiro Arita. This card belongs to the Base set, released in 1999, and is part of the Base series. The flavor text reflects a historical context, suggesting Magikarp was once stronger than its current, weaker form. The card’s theme emphasizes its evolutionary legacy and combat dynamics.

In the distant past, it was stronger than its horribly weak descendants that exist today.
