==Trivia==
* Splash is the only move that has been introduced that does nothing to either the opponent or the user. In {{g|Mystery Dungeon}}, however, a Pokémon using Splash will deal 5 damage to itself and its opponent if it comes in contact with any other Pokémon.
* Every Pokémon that can learn Splash by leveling up learns it as a starting move.
* No [[Generation V]] Pokémon are able to learn Splash.
* While the English name suggests an association with water, the Japanese name, はねる ''(haneru)'', can mean both "splash" and "hop" (although usually the latter). This explains why the move can be learned naturally by Pokémon such as {{p|Spoink}} and {{p|Hoppip}} — species who have no association with water but are known for hopping or jumping and why {{m|Gravity}} disables it. The translation as "Splash" was likely due to the fact that it was only available to Magikarp when it was introduced.
* In the anime, Splash has been the result of {{m|Metronome}} more than any other attack.

====Other====

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=water
|gen=1
|redbluedex=In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
|yellowdex=Famous for being very unreliable. It can be found swimming in seas, lakes, rivers and shallow puddles.
|golddex=An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.
|silverdex=For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like {{p|Pidgeotto}} to catch it mid-jump.
|stadiumdex=Whoever its opponent, and however horrible the attack it receives, all it does is {{m|Splash}} around.
|crystaldex=This weak and pathetic Pokémon gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.
|stadium2dex=An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.
|rubydex=Magikarp is a pathetic excuse for a Pokémon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.
|sapphiredex=Magikarp is virtually useless in battle as it can only splash around. As a result, it is considered to be weak. However, it is actually a very hardy Pokémon that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is.
|emeralddex=Its swimming muscles are weak, so it is easily washed away by currents. In places where water pools, you can see many Magikarp deposited there by the flow.
|firereddex=It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world.
|leafgreendex=In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
|diamonddex=It is said to be the world's weakest Pokémon. No one knows why it has managed to survive.
|pearldex=It is unable to swim against even slow-moving currents. It always splashes about for some reason.
|platinumdex=A Magikarp living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash. The move remains useless, though.
|heartgolddex=An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.
|soulsilverdex=For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like Pidgeotto to catch it mid-jump.
|bwdex=A Magikarp living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash. The move remains useless, though.

==Trivia==
* Excluding [[Battle Tower]]s', [[Battle Frontier]]s', and players' Pokémon, Magikarp is tied at the lowest (with {{p|Regigigas}}), and ironically, the highest level non-glitch Pokémon able to be encountered. After all, in {{v2|Platinum}}, Magikarp lured by a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}} range in levels anywhere from level 1 to 100.
* Even though Magikarp is said to be the weakest Pokémon in existence, {{p|Caterpie|there}} {{p|Weedle|are}} {{p|Sunkern|seven}} {{p|Wurmple|Pokémon}} {{p|Ralts|weaker}} {{p|Azurill|than}} {{p|Kricketot|it}} {{p|Feebas|and one equal to it}} in terms of [[List of Pokémon by base stats|base stat average]].
* Magikarp takes the shortest time to hatch out of all Pokémon that can be legitimately hatched, with 6 [[Egg cycles]].
* Magikarp is the only Pokémon that can learn attacking moves but cannot get [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] on any of them. This does not include {{m|Bubble}}, which was available via an event in [[Generation II]] only.
* From [[Generation III]] onward, Magikarp is the only {{type|Water}} Pokémon that cannot learn any Water-type moves, even not [[status move]]s.
* Magikarp is one of four Water types that cannot learn {{m|Surf}} (the others being {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Surskit}}, and {{p|Rotom|Wash Rotom}}{{tt|*|Generation V}})
* Magikarp was the first Pokémon featured in [[Professor Oak's lecture]].
* Magikarp and {{p|Gyarados|its evolution}}'s [[Egg group]] combination ({{egg|Water 2}} and {{egg|Dragon}}) is unique.
* Magikarp is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Magikarp shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Feebas}}. They are both known as Fish Pokémon.
* Every one of Magikarp's Pokédex entries talks about either its lack of strength, its tendency to {{m|Splash}}, or both.
* Magikarp's [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] Pokédex entry remarks on its lack of power and speed. While the power part is true, Magikarp in fact sports a base 80 {{stat|Speed}} stat, making it quite fast.
* The Pokédex entries for Magikarp in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold]] and Platinum contradict each other; Gold and HeartGold say that Magikarp never jumps more than seven feet, whereas Platinum version states that it may jump over a mountain after living many years.
* Together with {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Rattata}}, and {{p|Seedot}}, Magikarp is the easiest Pokémon to catch in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, with only one loop necessary.
* Magikarp is one of the most common Pokémon in the game, found everywhere it is possible to [[fishing|fish]] (except in [[Unova]], where it is not found in the wild at all, though is obtainable through the Magikarp Salesman).
* Magikarp is one of the only Pokémon that is obtainable in-game every main-series game, including expansion games and remakes.
* Both of Magikarp's [[Ability|Abilities]] raise its Speed in certain situations.
* In Generation III, Magikarp could not damage {{t|Ghost}} types due to its only moves being {{type|Normal}}; in [[Generation II]] it learned {{m|Bubble}} from an event, which could be traded back to [[Generation I]]; in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]] it learns {{m|Bounce}} from a [[Move Tutor]] and when derived from the {{dwa|Sparkling Sea}}.
* Magikarp [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appears in every regional Pokédex]] except the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]].

===Origin===
Magikarp is based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles. This may have inspired an element in [[Pokémon Snap]] where, after certain steps are taken, a Magikarp will splash its way into a waterfall where it evolves. Magikarp may also be based on {{wp|Asian carp}}s, which are easily frightened by disturbances in water and can jump 8–10 feet in the air.

====Name origin====
Magikarp's name is a combination of ''magic'' and ''{{wp|carp}}'', possibly mocking the Magikarp as a species, as someone with 'magic' powers is generally thought to be quite powerful, which Magikarp is not (though carp are said to be able to transform into dragons, which is magical in its own way). It may also the combination of ''Magi'' (the three kings from the story of the {{wp|Nativity of Jesus|Nativity}}) and ''carp''.

Koiking is a combination of 鯉 ''{{wp|koi}}'' (carp) and ''king'', giving its name an ironic slant similar to its English name.

|rubydex=Magikarp is a pathetic excuse for a Pokémon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.
|sapphiredex=Magikarp is virtually useless in battle as it can only splash around. As a result, it is considered to be weak. However, it is actually a very hardy Pokémon that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is.
|emeralddex=Its swimming muscles are weak, so it is easily washed away by currents. In places where water pools, you can see many Magikarp deposited there by the flow.
|firereddex=It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world.
|leafgreendex=In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.

==Trivia==
* Excluding [[Battle Tower]]s', [[Battle Frontier]]s', and players' Pokémon, Magikarp is tied at the lowest (with {{p|Regigigas}}), and ironically, the highest level non-glitch Pokémon able to be encountered. After all, in {{v2|Platinum}}, Magikarp lured by a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}} range in levels anywhere from level 1 to 100.
* Even though Magikarp is said to be the weakest Pokémon in existence, {{p|Caterpie|there}} {{p|Weedle|are}} {{p|Sunkern|seven}} {{p|Wurmple|Pokémon}} {{p|Ralts|weaker}} {{p|Azurill|than}} {{p|Kricketot|it}} {{p|Feebas|and one equal to it}} in terms of [[List of Pokémon by base stats|base stat average]].
* Magikarp takes the shortest time to hatch out of all Pokémon that can be legitimately hatched, with 6 [[Egg cycles]].
* Magikarp is the only Pokémon that can learn attacking moves but cannot get [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] on any of them. This does not include {{m|Bubble}}, which was available via an event in [[Generation II]] only.
* From [[Generation III]] onward, Magikarp is the only {{type|Water}} Pokémon that cannot learn any Water-type moves, even not [[status move]]s.
* Magikarp is one of four Water types that cannot learn {{m|Surf}} (the others being {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Surskit}}, and {{p|Rotom|Wash Rotom}}{{tt|*|Generation V}})
* Magikarp was the first Pokémon featured in [[Professor Oak's lecture]].
* Magikarp and {{p|Gyarados|its evolution}}'s [[Egg group]] combination ({{egg|Water 2}} and {{egg|Dragon}}) is unique.
* Magikarp is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Magikarp shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Feebas}}. They are both known as Fish Pokémon.
* Every one of Magikarp's Pokédex entries talks about either its lack of strength, its tendency to {{m|Splash}}, or both.
* Magikarp's [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] Pokédex entry remarks on its lack of power and speed. While the power part is true, Magikarp in fact sports a base 80 {{stat|Speed}} stat, making it quite fast.
* The Pokédex entries for Magikarp in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold]] and Platinum contradict each other; Gold and HeartGold say that Magikarp never jumps more than seven feet, whereas Platinum version states that it may jump over a mountain after living many years.
* Together with {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Rattata}}, and {{p|Seedot}}, Magikarp is the easiest Pokémon to catch in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, with only one loop necessary.
* Magikarp is one of the most common Pokémon in the game, found everywhere it is possible to [[fishing|fish]] (except in [[Unova]], where it is not found in the wild at all, though is obtainable through the Magikarp Salesman).
* Magikarp is one of the only Pokémon that is obtainable in-game every main-series game, including expansion games and remakes.
* Both of Magikarp's [[Ability|Abilities]] raise its Speed in certain situations.
* In Generation III, Magikarp could not damage {{t|Ghost}} types due to its only moves being {{type|Normal}}; in [[Generation II]] it learned {{m|Bubble}} from an event, which could be traded back to [[Generation I]]; in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]] it learns {{m|Bounce}} from a [[Move Tutor]] and when derived from the {{dwa|Sparkling Sea}}.

===Origin===
Magikarp is based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles. This may have inspired an element in [[Pokémon Snap]] where, after certain steps are taken, a Magikarp will splash its way into a waterfall where it evolves. Magikarp may also be based on {{wp|Asian carp}}s, which are easily frightened by disturbances in water and can jump 8–10 feet in the air.

====Name origin====
Magikarp's name is a combination of ''magic'' and ''{{wp|carp}}'', possibly mocking the Magikarp as a species, as someone with 'magic' powers is generally thought to be quite powerful, which Magikarp is not (though carp are said to be able to transform into dragons, which is magical in its own way). It may also the combination of ''Magi'' (the three kings from the story of the {{wp|Nativity of Jesus|Nativity}}) and ''carp''.

Koiking is a combination of 鯉 ''{{wp|koi}}'' (carp) and ''king'', giving its name an ironic slant similar to its English name.
