Magikarp (Japanese: コイキング Koiking) is a Water-type Pokémon found in nearly every body of water in the Pokémon universe.
Due to its low stats and the fact that it only has the move splash until level 15, Magikarp is often considered the weakest Pokémon in existence.
Magikarp has the Ability Swift Swim, which doubles the Pokémon's speed whenever it rains.
Magikarp evolves into Gyarados starting at Level 20.

Name origin
Magikarp's name is a combination of magic and carp. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鯉 koi, carp, and the English word king.
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.
