Collector Insights

Magikarp is a Water-type Pokémon with 30 HP. It features a single retreat cost of one Colorless energy and a converted retreat cost of one. The card’s attack, Splashing Dodge, requires one Water energy to deal 10 damage and grants a defensive effect by flipping a coin; if heads, it prevents all attack effects, including damage, during the opponent’s next turn. The Pokémon’s National Pokédex number is 129, and it is part of the Sun & Moon series, released in the Burning Shadows set on August 5, 2017. Designed by artist Yukiko Baba, the card carries a flavor text emphasizing its role as a prolific, if weak, species. It has no resistances and is weak to Lightning attacks, which deal double damage. This Common rarity card reflects Magikarp’s basic status in the Pokémon TCG.

Although weak and helpless, this Pokémon is incredibly fertile. They exist in such multitudes, you'll soon grow tired of seeing them.
