Magikarp in battle

Magikarp has 20 HP, 10 Attack, 55 Defense and 15 Speed, which adds up to 100. That is the #1025 highest total of the 1,025 Pokémon in the Pokédex. Its Speed beats 2% of the Pokédex, and its best stat is Defense at 55.

It has no damaging moves of its own type in its level-up or TM lists, so it leans on coverage moves.

Strongest coverage moves: Bounce (85 power, 85% accuracy), Tackle (50 power, 100% accuracy).

Moves are ranked by power, then accuracy, from the level-up and TM lists above. That is a starting point, not a recommended moveset: check accuracy, PP and how the rest of your team covers other types before you commit.

Where to find Magikarp

Magikarp is not a wild encounter on any of the standard maps.

Magikarp can hatch from a River Egg, a Common Egg or a Mystery Egg. Now and then an encounter on a map turns up an egg instead of a wild Pokémon, and which eggs a map can drop depends on its types. The River Egg can drop on Frozen Cave, River Rafting, 0* Temperature, Desert Beach, and Wild Desert. The Common Egg can drop on Black Forest, 0* Temperature, Jungle, Leaf Town, Reborn Surface, and Legend of Dawn. The Mystery Egg can drop on 0* Temperature, Desert Beach, Jungle, Foggy Wastelands, Wild Desert, Reborn Surface, and Legend of Dawn. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it.
