Black 2A Magikarp living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash. The move remains useless, though.
White 2
Black
White
DiamondIt is said to be the world's weakest Pokemon. No one knows why it has managed to survive.
Pearl
Platinum
HeartGoldAn underpowered, pathetic Pokemon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but usually not more than seven feet.
SoulSilverFor no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like PIDGEOTTO to catch it mid-jump.
RubyMAGIKARP is a pathetic excuse for a POKeMON that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.
Sapphire
Emerald
FireRedIt is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic POKeMON in the world.
LeafGreenIn the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
GoldAn underpowered, pathetic POKeMON. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.
SilverFor no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like PIDGEOTTO to catch it mid-jump.
CrystalThis weak and pathetic POKeMON gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.
RedIn the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
Blue
YellowFamous for being very unreliable. It can be found swimming in seas, lakes, rivers and shallow puddles.
