⚠ Scarlet/Violet support is in the works! ⚠

Thank you for your interest in having the Marriland Pokédex updated to support Pokémon Scarlet & Violet!

Thank you for your patience as I work on this over the coming week or two!

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.
