Well… Even though I do like Magikarp, that doesn’t change the fact that it isn’t very good, even in LC. Magikarp only gets five moves; Splash, Tackle, Hydro Pump, Flail and Bounce.

Since Splash doesnt do anything, that should be removed.So now your moveset will be-Tackle-Hydro Pump/Splash-Flail-Bounce

Magikarp could be used to finish off low-health opponents. Giving it a choice scarf and speed EVs can help you with that. Attack/Special Attack EVs can help you do some more damage too.Thisis Smogon’s Strategy guide for Magikarp.

Well since this was brought up, I’ll answer it. Format: gen 7 lcMagikarp@normalium zAbility: swift swimEVs: 196atk/196spe/36hpMoves:SplashTackleFlailBounce
