It’s Super Effective!
Magikarp is one of a handful of lackluster pokemon who are relatively useless in battle until they evolve into bigger and better forms. It splashes and flails around with its fixed, lifeless stare and gaping mouth, earning trainers the dreaded “, but nothing happened” dialogue if they use any of its moves.
These special Magikarp may not be ready to evolve into a powerful Gyarados yet. Still, their fashion has leveled up into something strangely enticing that we haven’t seen in the pokemon universe or our own. They might only be able to splash, but they’re determined to look good doing it.
