Line 38:
The Pokédex also states that Magikarp used to be a much more powerful Pokémon in the past, but has grown weaker over time. They have very weak attacks; their primary attack does nothing whatsoever. It is so weak that it cannot even swim and is very easily washed about by ocean currents and tides. Because it is so weak, Magikarp tend to live at the bottom of the sea where there is less of a current. However, Magikarp will come up to a higher level to feed. They may jump high on certain occasions, but never more than seven feet.
==In the video games==
The only move all Magikarp know by nature is Splash, an attack which does nothing. At level 15, they learn Tackle, a weak attack learned naturally by many Pokémon. Since [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|''Pokémon Gold'' and ''Silver'']], Magikarp has also been able to learn the move Flail, an attack varying in power depending on how damaged the user is.
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'']], as well as in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|''Pokémon FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'']], a Magikarp salesman in the Pokémon Center outside of Mt. Moon will offer to sell the player a Magikarp. In every Pokemon game (except Ranger, Mystery Dungeon, Trozei and Dash) Magikarp can be obtained by using an old fishing rod in any body of water.
Magikarp are found in the [[Nintendo 64]] game ''[[Pokémon Snap]]'' in all six of the game’s main courses. In the Valley Course in particular, a Magikarp can be hurled by a [[Mankey]] and then shot into a waterfall by a Pester Ball in order to evolve into a [[Gyarados]].
In ''[[Pokémon Channel]]'', Magikarp can be found by fishing at Secret Cove, along with many other Pokémon.
