You can raise the ultimate Pokémon!
What is this world coming to?! It's a Pokémon game all about the weakest Pokémon ever—Magikarp! Anyone can play this simple game in their spare time to create the most majestic Magikarp ever in this official Pokémon app!
What kind of Pokémon is Magikarp?
- It's famous—for being pathetically weak, unreliable, and generally useless.
- It can't learn any powerful moves—all it does is flop around and splash!
- When it flops its way too high in the sky, it's sometimes snagged by the Bird Pokémon Pidgeotto—never to be seen again!
Many surprising events lie in store for this pathetic Pokémon. But don't worry—it'll just keep on jumping until it can jump no more!
What kind of game is this?
- Simple controls let anyone easily raise many generations of Magikarp
- Tap the food that appears on the screen to feed your Magikarp, or have it complete training to increase its Jump Power! It's easy to do, and with each generation you raise, the next generation grows even faster!
- Discover all kinds of Magikarp to show your friends
- In this app, you can fish up all kinds of Magikarp with unusual patterns like calico and polka dots! When you encounter a rare Magikarp, show it off to your friends on your social media networks!
- Pokémon like Pikachu and Piplup are here to help.
- A number of popular Pokémon can appear to help your Magikarp grow. Keep playing to find out which Pokémon you'll befriend!
- Spruce up your pond with Decorations!
- Spruce up the pond where you raise your Magikarp. You can make the pond of your dreams, and help your Magikarp grow faster, too!
Plot and gameplay
Pokémon: Magikarp Jump takes place in Hoppy Town, where people train Magikarp and compete to see whose can jump the highest. The player can train one Magikarp at a time; when it is lost, reaches its maximum level and retires, or is forced to retire, the player must fish for a new Magikarp.

Training
During a training session, a Magikarp can show good, great, or amazing effort. Good effort is the most common and awards the standard amount of JP. Great effort multiplies the gained JP by 1.5, while amazing effort has a multiplier of 3.5.
Friendship Items
When each of these Friendship Items is bought or obtained, the corresponding Pokémon will appear in the pond. When its skill can be used, a light bulb will appear above it, and the player may tap the Pokémon to use its skill. Each Pokémon then requires a certain amount of time to recover before its skill may be used again. The player may spend Support Candies to improve the Pokémon's skill.

- The effects of any Decorations you've gotten will always be active—even if they aren't placed in your pond!
- You can make a backup of your data just in case the worst should happen. Then you can continue your game, even on another device!
- There are lots of random encounters waiting for you! Whether they'll be good or bad, well, that's where the random part comes in!
- Support Pokémon might show up to cheer you on in league battles. Your Magikarp's JP will get a temporary boost.
- If you increase the rank of your food items or training regimens to a certain point, you can get Support Candies as an extra bonus!
- A Magikarp's pattern becomes clear when it has grown about two-thirds of the way to its max level!

Trivia
- All leagues, except for the Expert Leagues, are named after Poké Balls.
- The number "129" on the Jump Counter is Magikarp's number in the National Pokédex.
- The Jump Counter training option resembles one of the Pokémon Stadium mini-games, Magikarp's Splash.
- Despite the two-thirds claim in one Trainer Tip, a Magikarp's pattern does not become clear until reaching three-fourths of its max level.
- Although the Starmie Bubbler decoration was only added in version 1.1.0, it could be seen on the Decorations section, on the How to Play setting, since version 1.0.
