Pokédex Entries

Generation I
Red:
In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
Yellow:
Famous for being very unreliable. It can be found swimming in seas, lakes, rivers and shallow puddles.
Generation II
Gold:
An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.
Silver:
For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like PIDGEOTTO to catch it mid-jump.
Crystal:
This weak and pathetic Pokémon gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.
Generation III
Ruby:
MAGIKARP is a pathetic excuse for a Pokémon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.
Sapphire:
MAGIKARP is virtually useless in battle as it can only splash around. As a result, it is considered to be weak. However, it is actually a very hardy Pokémon that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is.
Emerald:
Its swimming muscles are weak, so it is easily washed away by currents. In places where water pools, you can see many MAGIKARP deposited there by the flow.
FireRed:
It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world.
LeafGreen:
In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
Generation IV
Diamond:
It is said to be the world’s weakest Pokémon. No one knows why it has managed to survive.
Pearl:
It is unable to swim against even slow-moving currents. It always splashes about for some reason.
Platinum:
A MAGIKARP living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash. The move remains useless, though.
HeartGold:
An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but usually not more than seven feet.
SoulSilver:
For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like PIDGEOTTO to catch it mid-jump.
Generation V
Black:
A Magikarp living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash. The move remains useless, though.

Omega Ruby:

Alpha Sapphire:
Magikarp is virtually useless in battle as it can only splash around. As a result, it is considered to be weak. However, it is actually a very hardy Pokémon that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is.
Generation VII
Sun:
Although weak and helpless, this Pokémon is incredibly fertile. They exist in such multitudes, you’ll soon grow tired of seeing them.
Moon:
Its reckless leaps make it easy pickings for predators. On the bright side, many Pokémon enjoy longer life spans, thanks to Magikarp.
Ultra Sun:
In the distant past, they were fairly strong, but they have become gradually weaker over time.
Ultra Moon:
Thanks to their strong hold on life, dirty water doesn’t bother them at all. They live in waters all over the world!
Let's Go Pikachu:
