Pokédex Flavour (description)
- Red/Blue
- In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
- Yellow
- Famous for being very unreliable. It can be found swimming in seas, lakes, rivers and shallow puddles.
- Gold
- An underpowered, pathetic POKéMON. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.
- Silver
- For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like PIDGEOTTO to catch it mid-jump.
- Crystal
- This weak and pathetic POKéMON gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.
- 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.
- 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.
- Emerald
- Its swimming muscles are weak, so it is easily washed away by currents. In places where water pools, you can see many MAGIKARP deposited there by the flow.
- Fire Red
- It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic POKéMON in the world.
- Leaf Green
- In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
- Diamond
- It is said to be the world’s weakest Pokémon. No one knows why it has managed to survive.
- Pearl
- It is unable to swim against even slow-moving currents. It always splashes about for some reason.
