Every Magikarp card

The short version

Magikarp has nine printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across six expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Promo B. It is a Basic Water-type Pokémon with 30 HP, weak to Lightning, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to three rarities — seven Commons, one Art Rare and one Shiny. The hardest to pull is the Shiny from Wisdom of Sea and Sky, at about 1 in 559 packs, or 1,000 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 1,285 packs, which is about 1.8 years at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of six different packs. The most recent is Magikarp #014, from an expansion that shipped in October 2025. That printing attacks with Expert Splasher for 10+. The card’s own words: “In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.” It has been drawn by seven artists, Mitsuhiro Arita more than anyone else with three cards.
