Is magikarp strong

Answer 1

Magikarp is a water-type carp Pokemon from the Pokemon games. It is a red fish with long whiskers. Magikarp are unlike other Pokemon in that it cannot learn any moves beyond three of them and is almost entirely useless in Pokemon battles. Magikarp are also nothing but bones and gills, making them inedible, as well.

Magikarp is considered to be the weakest Pokemon of all, however, it evolves into a powerful water-dragon called Gyarados, which was known to arrive in packs and cause destruction to ancient civilizations during times of war in the Pokemon universe.

It evolves into Gyarados at level 20, however, since it is too weak to battle, trainers must often have it first in battle, then switch out to another Pokemon, so that it levels up by "participant experience." Once it evolves, it becomes powerful enough to use in actual battles.

Answer 2

It's a Magikarp with a different colour. In the case of Magikarp, it is gold. All Pokemon can be Shiny, but it is extremely rare (a 1 in 63 000ish chance). This does not make the Pokemon any more powerful, and only affects its appearance.

Answer 3

By world's opinion, it is considered one of the weakest Pokemon in the games. It only knows Splash, Tackle, and Flail, regardless being a Water-type. It has critically low stats with Speed being its highest. (80) Fortunately, after a nightmare of training the Magikarp, it can evolve at level 20 into Gyarados, which has higher stats and a lot better moveset than Magikarp.

Answer 4

No, it can only learn 4 moves* (Splash, Tackle, Flail and by Move Tutor or Dream World, Bounce). However, Magikarp evolves into Gyarados at level 20 which is quite strong.

Answer 5

Depends what you think of it. Basically, sorry to break it to you, but if you're not planning to evolve it - it's basically useless.

Answer 6

Nothing, the NPC that sells it to you is a conartist, it has been a running joke since first gen.
