#22 Shining Magikarp - Awakening Legends (awakening-legends)
Shining Magikarp is a Pokémon card with 30 HP, featuring a dual-type Water/Psychic composition. It belongs to the Awakening Legends set, released on November 23, 2000, and is illustrated by Ken Sugimori. The card’s rarity is Rare Holo, with a numbering of 22 in its Japanese edition. Its attacks include Gold Scale, which costs a single Water energy and allows both players to draw two cards, and Dragon Bond, which uses Psychic energy to search for specific Gyarados variants. The latter attack lets the player reveal a target card, add it to their hand, and shuffle their deck afterward. The card’s design emphasizes a connection between Magikarp and its evolved form, reflecting a thematic bond between the two Pokémon. As a staple in competitive play, it offers strategic flexibility through its dual mechanics.
