Magikarp's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Magikarp's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Magikarp's Nature.

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Magikarp is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.

It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world.

Shield

This weak and pathetic Pokémon gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.

Generation 7 Pokédex Entries

Sun

Although weak and helpless, this Pokémon is incredibly fertile. They exist in such multitudes, you'll soon grow tired of seeing them.

Moon

Its reckless leaps make it easy pickings for predators. On the bright side, many Pokémon enjoy longer life spans, thanks to Magikarp.

Ultra Sun

In the distant past, they were fairly strong, but they have become gradually weaker over time.

Ultra Moon

Thanks to their strong hold on life, dirty water doesn't bother them at all. They live in waters all over the world!

X

It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world.

Y

In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.

Omega Ruby

Magikarp is a pathetic excuse for a Pokémon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.

Alpha Sapphire

Magikarp is virtually useless in battle as it can only splash around. As a result, it is considered to be weak. However, it is actually a very hardy Pokémon that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is.
