The '''Magikarp salesman''' (Japanese: '''コイキング売り''' ''Koiking salesman'') is a con man who is always getting people, usually [[James]], to buy one of his worthless {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
The '''Magikarp salesman''' (Japanese: '''コイキング売り''' ''Koiking salesman'') is a character who sells various Pokémon, usually {{p|Magikarp}}, at outrageous prices.

[[File:Magikarp salesman FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The Magikarp salesman in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}]]
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as the [[remake]]s {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, the Magikarp salesman appears in {{rt|4|Kanto}}'s [[Pokémon Center]] and sells the {{player}} a Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500.
 
Though he does not make an appearance, the Magikarp salesman is briefly alluded to in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, as well as the remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In the [[Poké Mart]] in [[Pewter City]], a boy will offer to show his {{p|Gyarados}} to anyone who speaks to him. Speaking to the other boy nearby causes him to remark how the boy had purchased a Magikarp from a "weird old man" three years prior, and trained it until it evolved into a Gyarados.
 
In {{game4|Black|White|Black|White}}, the Magikarp salesman appears again on [[Marvelous Bridge]] to sell a Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500. However, unlike in Kanto, Magikarp are not native to [[Unova]] and can only be found in the [[Nature Preserve]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}. It always has a {{stat|Speed}} [[Individual values|IV]] of 31 in these games.

====History====
====History====
His first appearance in the anime was on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' selling {{p|Magikarp}} to anyone foolish enough to buy one. He would tell them that they would reproduce and make the buyer rich. [[James]] was foolish enough to buy one which later [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|James|Gyarados}}. Some time after he appeared with the same "selling strategy" in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'' and ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]''. Later, in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', he would trade his [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio#Victreebel|Weepinbell]] for [[James's Victreebel]]. He has also appeared in [[Hoenn]], selling {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Hoppip}} disguised as {{p|Chimecho}} when James was searching for a Chimecho. He was also selling Magikarp disguised as {{p|Feebas}} for a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Spoink}}'s [[Valuable item#Pearl and Big Pearl|pearl]] which {{TRT}} stole. Both of them were successfully sold to Team Rocket.
=====[[Original series]]=====
The Magikarp salesman is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He usually appears as a traveling con man who is always getting people, usually [[James]], to buy one of his worthless {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
 
He debuted in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', where he was selling {{p|Magikarp}} to anyone on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] foolish enough to buy one. He would tell them that they would reproduce at a rapid rate and make the buyer rich. James was foolish enough to buy one, which later [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|James|Gyarados}}.
 
In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', he was partially responsible for [[Jessie]] obtaining her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. The Magikarp salesman was again trying to sell Magikarp to James, but he recognized him from the St. Anne and chased after him. During the pursuit, the Magikarp salesman bumped into [[Jessie]], which sent her flying over to a nearby [[trade machine]]. When she bumped into it, the {{i|Poké Ball}} containing her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} fell into the machine, trading it for {{OBP|Benny|EP146}}'s Wobbuffet, which he had been trying to [[trade]] off throughout the episode.
 
Some time after, he reappeared with the same selling strategy in ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]''. Later, in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', he traded his {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Victreebel|Weepinbell}} for [[James's Victreebel]].
 
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', the Magikarp salesman tried his golden Magikarp scam on {{Tracey}}, claiming that the Magikarp could lay golden {{pkmn|Egg}}s. However, unlike Team Rocket, Tracey was too smart to fall for this trick. The Magikarp salesman ran off when he discovered that he had knocked on the door of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].
 
In the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], the Magikarp salesman had changed his operation; now, he was attempting to sell Pokémon disguised as rare Pokémon. In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', he sold a Magikarp disguised as {{p|Feebas}} to {{TRT}} for a stolen {{OBP|Spoink|recurring}}'s pearl. After placing her new Pokémon into some water, Jessie realized she had been conned as the paint washed away, revealing Feebas to be a Magikarp. Ash and {{ashfr}} were able to reunite Spoink with its pearl, but the Magikarp salesman was able to escape.

However, unlike Team Rocket, Tracey was too smart to fall for this trick. The Magikarp Salesman ran off when he discovered that he had knocked on the door of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].
In ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]'', he was selling a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Hoppip}} disguised as a {{p|Chimecho}} at [[Fortree City]]'s [[Feather Carnival]]. James came across him while searching for a Chimecho and attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. However, its real identity was revealed and a gust of wind blew it away.


He made a cameo when {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} {{AP|Aipom}} in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]''.
He made a cameo appearance when Ash caught {{AP|Aipom}} in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]''.


His latest major appearance was in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]''. He sold an Evolution machine/Mecha-bot to Team Rocket. While he did inform Team Rocket that the machine must warm up for at least a week before use, Team Rocket forgot to follow his instructions, which resulted in failure in evolving Pokémon and sustaining its Mecha-bot form. Therefore, it is unknown if this was another one of his scams, or if the machine would truly have worked. However, considering he ran off after telling them, it may have been another lie to keep them from following him.
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
In ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]'', he sold a dual evolution machine/mecha-bot to Team Rocket. While he did inform Team Rocket that the machine must warm up for at least a week before use, Team Rocket forgot to follow his instructions, which resulted in its failure to [[Evolution|evolve]] Pokémon and sustain its mecha-bot form. Therefore, it is unknown if this was another one of his scams, or if the machine would truly have worked. However, considering the fact that he ran off after telling them this information, it may have been another lie to keep them from following him.


He made a cameo appearance in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', being one of the many people seen at the [[Kanto Fair]] that Ash and his friends were visiting.
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', he had his own table at the [[Kanto Fair]]. There, he was once again trying to sell Magikarp to people.


====Personality and charasteristics====
=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
The Magikarp salesman is a con man; as such, he isn't afraid to lie to or mislead his costumers in order to sell his goods.
The Magikarp Salesman reappeared in ''[[JNS01|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1)]]'', trying to sell a Magikarp to a visitor at the [[Sinnoh Festival]] in [[Canalave City]].


He is one of the main reasons why Jessie has a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', he tries to sell a Magikarp to James, but James recognizes him as the one who tricked him into buying a Magikarp on the St. Anne and chases after him, causing him to bump into Jessie, which sends her flying over to the trading machine. When she bumped into it, the Poké Ball containing her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} fell onto the trading machine, trading it with {{OBP|Benny|EP146}}'s Wobbuffet, which he was trying to trade throughout the episode.
====Character====
The Magikarp salesman is a con man; as such, he isn't afraid to lie to or mislead his customers in order to sell his goods. He prefers to travel the world, likely to remain undetected by the authorities and any disgruntled clientele like [[James]].

History

Original series

The Magikarp salesman is a recurring character who appeared in the Pokémon anime. He usually appears as a traveling con man who is always getting people, usually James, to buy one of his worthless Pokémon.

He debuted in Battle Aboard the St. Anne, where he was selling Magikarp to anyone on the St. Anne foolish enough to buy one. He would tell them that they would reproduce at a rapid rate and make the buyer rich. James was foolish enough to buy one, which later evolved into a Gyarados.

In Tricks of the Trade, he was partially responsible for Jessie obtaining her Wobbuffet. The Magikarp salesman was again trying to sell Magikarp to James, but he recognized him from the St. Anne and chased after him. During the pursuit, the Magikarp salesman bumped into Jessie, which sent her flying over to a nearby trade machine. When she bumped into it, the Poké Ball containing her Lickitung fell into the machine, trading it for Benny's Wobbuffet, which he had been trying to trade off throughout the episode.

Some time after, he reappeared with the same selling strategy in Doin' What Comes Natu-rally. Later, in Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid, he traded his Weepinbell for James's Victreebel.

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

In Showdown at the Oak Corral, the Magikarp salesman tried his golden Magikarp scam on Tracey, claiming that the Magikarp could lay golden Eggs. However, unlike Team Rocket, Tracey was too smart to fall for this trick. The Magikarp salesman ran off when he discovered that he had knocked on the door of Professor Oak's Laboratory.

In the Hoenn region, the Magikarp salesman had changed his operation; now, he was attempting to sell Pokémon disguised as rare Pokémon. In Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend, he sold a Magikarp disguised as Feebas to Team Rocket for a stolen Spoink's pearl. After placing her new Pokémon into some water, Jessie realized she had been conned as the paint washed away, revealing Feebas to be a Magikarp. Ash and his friends were able to reunite Spoink with its pearl, but the Magikarp salesman was able to escape.

In Who's Flying Now?, he was selling a Hoppip disguised as a Chimecho at Fortree City's Feather Carnival. James came across him while searching for a Chimecho and attempted to catch it. However, its real identity was revealed and a gust of wind blew it away.

He made a cameo appearance when Ash caught Aipom in Channeling the Battle Zone.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

In Ya See We Want An Evolution!, he sold a dual evolution machine/mecha-bot to Team Rocket. While he did inform Team Rocket that the machine must warm up for at least a week before use, Team Rocket forgot to follow his instructions, which resulted in its failure to evolve Pokémon and sustain its mecha-bot form. Therefore, it is unknown if this was another one of his scams, or if the machine would truly have worked. However, considering the fact that he ran off after telling them this information, it may have been another lie to keep them from following him.

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

In The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!, he had his own table at the Kanto Fair. There, he was once again trying to sell Magikarp to people.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

The Magikarp Salesman reappeared in The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1), trying to sell a Magikarp to a visitor at the Sinnoh Festival in Canalave City.

Character

The Magikarp salesman is a con man; as such, he isn't afraid to lie to or mislead his customers in order to sell his goods. He prefers to travel the world, likely to remain undetected by the authorities and any disgruntled clientele like James.

The Magikarp salesman, as his title implies, has a large amount of these Magikarp to sell to customers for ridiculously high prices. He usually manages to sell them by telling the customer that they could sell the Magikarp hatched from this Magikarp's Eggs, as well as Magikarp hatched from those Magikarp's eggs and so forth, resulting in the potential customer getting rich. In reality, however, Magikarp is a completely useless Pokémon which cannot provide riches to anyone except for the Magikarp salesman himself, due to the ridiculous prices at which he sells his Magikarp.

Sometimes, the Magikarp salesman has also tried to sell his Magikarp by disguising them as Feebas and telling to the customer that it would evolve into Milotic, the most beautiful Pokémon in the world. Oddly, he has never tried any sort of similar tactic with selling Magikarp as is, by informing the customer that it would evolve into the powerful Gyarados. In Ya See We Want an Evolution!, he also tried to offer some special gifts for the customer if they bought a Magikarp.

But after it bit Jessie's hair, Jessie used her Arbok to send it away. Later, James's new Victreebel met his old Victreebel, fell in love with it and disappeared to a forest along with it.
