Collector Insights
Giovanni's Magikarp is a Water-type Pokémon with 30 HP, requiring one Colorless Energy to retreat. It features two attacks: Ancestral Memory, which costs a single Water Energy and deals 40 damage, but has a 50% chance to fail, with the caveat that it cannot be used again while Giovanni's Magikarp remains in play. The second attack, Flail Around, demands one Water and one Colorless Energy, dealing 10 damage multiplied by the number of heads from three flipped coins. The card has no resistances but is weak to Lightning, taking double damage from such attacks. It belongs to the Gym series, released in October 2000 as part of the Gym Challenge set. The card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori and is classified as a Common rarity. Its design aligns with the Gym theme, reflecting its role in competitive play.
