Location of Rind Island in the Orange Archipelago

Rind Island (Japanese: タンカン島 Tankan Island) is a tiny deserted island in the northern region of the Orange Archipelago. The waters around Rind Island are a Magikarp breeding ground.

In The Wacky Watcher!, Ash and his friends accompanied Pokémon Watcher Quincy T. Quackenpoker as he returned to the island to study the Magikarp's annual migration and mass evolution event. Once a year, Magikarp from all over the Orange Islands come back here to their birthplace and after strengthening themselves up by swimming everywhere, try swimming upstream to the top of the river. The school of Magikarp wait until nightfall, when only those strong enough actually evolve into Gyarados. Once the evolution process has ended, they all swim back downstream and return to the ocean.
