Collector Insights

Magikarp is a Pokémon card from the Rocket Gang set, released in November 1997. It features a theme color of #93a28a and is illustrated by artist Kagemaru Himeno. The card has 30 HP and is classified as a Common rarity, with the card number 20. It possesses two attacks: "Flop" and "Rapid Evolution." The "Flop" attack costs one Colorless energy and deals 10 damage. The "Rapid Evolution" attack requires three Water energies and allows the player to search their deck for an Evolution card named Gyarados or Dark Gyarados, placing it on Magikarp as an evolution. This action also counts as evolving Magikarp, and the deck is shuffled afterward. The card's design and mechanics reflect its role in the Pokémon TCG's evolution mechanics.
