Collector Insights

Magikarp is a Water-type Pokémon with 30 HP. It requires one Colorless energy to retreat and has a retreat cost of one Colorless. The card features two attacks: Tackle, which deals 10 damage with a single Colorless energy cost, and Flail, a Water energy-powered move that inflicts 10 times damage based on the number of damage counters on Magikarp. Flail’s effect is tied to the presence of damage counters, emphasizing a recursive damage mechanic. The card’s flavor text reflects a historical narrative, suggesting a connection to a stronger lineage of Pokémon. It was released in the Legendary Collection set on May 24, 2002, and is illustrated by artist Mitsuhiro Arita. The card’s theme color is a muted green, matching its Water typing. Its rarity is listed as Uncommon, positioning it as a moderately uncommon card in the collection.

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