Because Pokemon needs to do something, anyway you could always put a Exp Share on it and level it up. You can also go to the Daycare and let them level it up to 19 and you can do the final level with the previously explained action.

What does splash attack in Pokemon do?

Splash is a move that is completely useless (with the exception of it in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, where it deals 5 damage to the opponent and the Pokemon that used it), and is Magikarp's signature move.


What level does magicarp learn a water move?

Well, to be honest, i don't know when it learns water moves. In Ruby, Emerald and Sapphire, Magikarp learns Tackle around level 15. My Magikarp is level 16, and only knows Splash and Tackle. And for everyone who doesnt understand Magikarps existance, it evolves into an extremly powerful pokemon- GYARADOS!


Why does Magikarp's splash do nothing?

"If I remember correctly, in crystal, a guy said ages ago magikarps were very strong, but these days they are very weak. So i guesss they learned the move splash, and it don't do anything, because magikarp is too weak. I think I read somewhere that the creators wanted to make magikarp be the weakest pokemon. So that's probably why splash does nothing: to emphasize the weakness of magikarp." EDIT: You're actually wrong. Magikarp is a very powerful Pokemon; the reason why splash does nothing is because the creators needed to give it a type of Nerf Splash can also be used to leap mountains, and create great devastation. They also had to give it another Nerf; which of course is it's TERRIBLE evolution, Gyrados. Source: http://i.imgur.com/Jgxp4.jpg As you can see, its power is unlimited.

What is the purpose of splash on a Magikarp?

There is no purpose for it. Pokemon wanted to make magikarp the weakest Pokemon in the world but all Pokemon still need to have at least one move so they designed splash. The move does exactly nothing exept wastes a turn. Use an exp. share on magikarp if you want to level it up.

What is the weakest attack in Pokemon Diamond?

ANSWER:The weakest attack is splash. It does absolutly nothing. But i think it is a good move for a cute contest. I will have to check again. p.s. the Pokemon most likely to have this attack is magikarp. If you want to get a magikarp with this move you should use an old rod at any body of water. The Pokemon You reel in will definitly be a magikarp only knowing splash until it gets to a certaint level (I'm not sure which) it will learn tackle. MAGIKARP LEARNS SPLASH AT LV 1, TACKLE AT LV 15, AND FLAIL AT LV 30.


What is the dumbest Pokemon move?

What moves does the level 100 Magikarp know in platinum?

Magikarp is a useless Pokemon. The only way to get it to move is to evolve it into Gyarados. I recommend finding the scientist in the entrance to Cerulean City, I believe... He gives you an Exp. Share. Give it to Magikarp and train other pokemon. Eventually Magikarps level will go up and he will evolve
