#47 Magikarp - Team Rocket (base5)
Magikarp is a Water-type Pokémon with 30 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. Its attacks include "Flop," which deals 10 damage with a single Colorless energy cost, and "Rapid Evolution," requiring three Water energies to search the deck for an Evolution card named Gyarados or Dark Gyarados and evolve Magikarp. The card has no resistances but is weak to Lightning attacks multiplied by two. Designed by artist Kagemaru Himeno, it belongs to the Base series released in 2000 as part of the Team Rocket set. The card's flavor text hints at a connection to dragon DNA, suggesting hidden evolutionary potential. It carries the number 47 and is classified as a Uncommon rarity. The card’s theme color is a muted earth tone, reflecting its aquatic nature.
