Magikarp (Japanese: コイキング Koiking) is a Water-blazon Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Information technology evolves into Gyarados starting at level 20.

Biology

The variety of Magikarp known as the "Blueish Raindrops"

Magikarp is a fishlike Pokémon with large, heavy reddish-orange scales. It has large, vacant eyes and pink lips. Its pectoral and tail fins are white. On its back is a stiff, three-peaked yellow fin, resembling a crown; at that place is an identical fin on its underside. It also has long barbels. The barbels are white on a female and pale-yellowish on a male. A long-lived Magikarp is able to utilize its immense splashing power to leap high plenty to scale mountains. It too has a strong plenty allowed system to survive in the most polluted of waters. Nevertheless, it is usually overlooked by Trainers because of its perceived weakness: fifty-fifty in the heat of battle, it will do cypher but flop effectually. It is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than modern Magikarp, and this led scientists to research this species.

Magikarp is found in many bodies of h2o, such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. Yet, due to its weak swimming ability, it normally lives downstream of the water's menses. It is normally seen using its sometime signature move, Splash, to leap out of the water, which makes it an easy target for predators such as Pidgeotto and Pidgeot. Frillish as well preys on Magikarp.

In Hoppy Town, in that location are at least 31 unique pattern varieties of Magikarp, with their scales coming in colors such as grayness, black, white, purple, pinkish, violet, apricot, and chocolate-brown. These patterns tin exist classified by groups, depending on how the Magikarp looks while it is still small; a specific pattern arises when it becomes bigger. Which patterns tin be caught depend on the type of Sometime Rod; the better the rod, the more groups of patterns can be fished. The people in Hoppy Town train their Magikarp to jump the highest in order to compete in a series of Leagues to win prizes.

Magikarp and its evolved class'due south Egg Group combination (Water ii and Dragon) is unique.
Magikarp is i of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect foreign Pokédex entries for in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
Magikarp shares several notable similarities to Feebas:
- Its level-upwards moves are exactly the same equally those of Feebas.
  - Yet, Feebas can learn multiple moves from TMs and HMs, hatch from an Egg with Egg Moves, and larn new moves via Movement Tutors, making it slightly more than useful in battle.
- Magikarp shares its category name with Feebas. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.

Magikarp appears in Pokémon Battle Chess. It doesn't carry like any traditional piece in chess. When damaged, it reveals Gyarados.
Although Magikarp is stated by multiple Pokédex entries to be "the weakest Pokémon", at that place are several Pokémon with lower base stat totals, such as Sunkern, or even admission to fewer feasible moves, similar Unown being only able to employ Hidden Power.

Origin

Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

Magikarp is based on the Asian carp, which are easily frightened by disturbances in water and can jump 8–10 feet (2.5–three m.) in the air.

Magikarp's evolution into Gyarados is based on a legend about how carp that leaped over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles. This may take inspired an element in Pokémon Snap where, after sure steps are taken, a Magikarp will splash its mode into a waterfall where it evolves.

Name origin

Magikarp's name is a combination of magic and carp, possibly mocking the Magikarp as a species, as someone with "magic" powers is generally thought to exist quite powerful, which Magikarp is not (though carp are said to exist able to transform into dragons, which is magical in its own way).

Koiking is a combination of 鯉 koi (carp) and rex, giving its name an ironic slant like to its English language proper noun - though its dorsal fin does resemble a crown.
