Talk:Magikarp (Pokémon)
Does the Magikarp from the Magikarp salesman in the Pokémon Center by Mt. Moon have any advantages over a regular Magikarp? File:Ani164MS.gifShinyTalk | ContribsFile:Ani408MS.gifFile:Ani410MS.gif 00:50, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, you don't need to bother fishing? :P --Vladek
- Yeah, and by fishing you waste $200, while an estimate (to me) the idiot sells you Magikarp for $500...File:Ani475MS.gif Agent 448δ | DP | ☆File:Ani282MS.gif 10:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- But does it have any other advantages, besides not having to fish? File:Ani164MS.gifShinyTalk | ContribsFile:Ani408MS.gifFile:Ani410MS.gif 12:20, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- I really doubt that, and I think that the scammer shown in the anime that keeps on selling Magikarp is based on that guy. TheBlazikenMaster 21:03, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- Well, that Magikarp really doesn't have any advantages both in the animé and in the game, as far as I tested. The stats are the same
uselessones, and the animé one is useless, as far as James is concerned. XD Sang'gre Habagat- Well, remember. You can't get the Old Rod until Vermilion, you spend at least $200 on Poké Balls, which don't have a sure chance of nabbing it, and then you have to train that Magikarp while training for an upcoming match with a Template:Type2 Gym Leader. So yes, there is an advantage. You get all of the extra time to train the Karp. TTEchidna 04:40, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- Haha. You've got a point, TTEchidna. ^^ Sang'gre Habagat 07:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- It is done so you can get Gardados before getting the fishing rod. File:Ani493MS.gifZanderFile:Ani493MS.gif 12:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- But what's the use? You know Magikarp's useless. It takes a while to train it. So just wait for the fishing rod, I say! You get the rod for free, go and fish! The Pokemon near the Magikarp salesmen are too tough for training a Magikarp. FireHazard 01:58, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
- Magikarp does suck, but it evolves into a Gyarados which is a powerful Pokémon. TheBlazikenMaster 12:06, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

" How do you need that cited? It's the very first foreign dex entry you get."
This is how: There is no specific information about which game this trivia is referring to. Trivia sections should have useful information, and I don't really find this useful if we don't include where whoever posted that trivia got that information from. No I don't mean cite it like they do on Wikipedia, I just want mention of the game this foreign etnry is from. And I also believe this trivia is misleading. Germans dub movies, so why not rewrite the video games? TheBlazikenMaster 20:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Question about the German Magikarp.
Is it possible to get a German entry of Gyarados when I evolve it? TheBlazikenMaster 19:51, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think so D: Sorry Takoto タコト| サソデイ = 愛 19:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Why don't you try to evolve that Magikarp? Palkia38 06:14, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Really
Swift Swim is the ability of Magikarp in every Generation. But it never rains in Gen I! Was there another ability in Gen I? - Hazardous FIRE! 04:05, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
