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.

BLACK

A Magikarp living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash. The move remains useless, though.

BLACK 2

A Magikarp living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash. The move remains useless, though.
