#50 Magikarp - Base Set 2 (base4)
Magikarp is a Water-type Pokémon from the Base Set 2, released in February 2000. It has 30 HP and requires one Colorless Energy to retreat. The card features two attacks: Tackle, which deals 10 damage with a single Colorless Energy, and Flail, a Water Energy-powered move that inflicts 10 damage multiplied by the number of damage counters on Magikarp. Its rarity is listed as Uncommon, and it is part of the Base series. The card’s flavor text reflects a historical narrative, suggesting Magikarp was once stronger than its current, weaker descendants. Artist Mitsuhiro Arita designed the card, and its color scheme aligns with the Water type’s themecolor of #8aaea6. Magikarp’s weakness to Lightning attacks is noted with a ×2 multiplier, making it vulnerable to certain strategies.
