In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as the [[remake]]s {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, the Magikarp salesman appears in {{rt|4|Kanto}}'s [[Pokémon Center]] and sells the {{player}} a {{p|Magikarp}} for {{PDollar}}500. | |||
Though he does not make an appearance, the Magikarp salesman is briefly alluded to in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, as well as the remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In the [[Poké Mart]] in [[Pewter City]], a boy will offer to show his {{p|Gyarados}} to anyone who speaks to him. Speaking to a girl nearby causes her to remark how the boy had purchased a Magikarp from a "weird old man" three years prior, and trained it until it evolved into a Gyarados. | |||
In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, the Magikarp salesman appears again on [[Marvelous Bridge]] to sell a Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500. However, unlike in Kanto, Magikarp are not native to [[Unova]] and can only be found in the [[Nature Preserve]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}. It always has a [[Stats|speed]] [[IV]] of 31 in these games. | |||

The Magikarp Salesman appears as a con man who is always getting people, usually [[James]], to buy one of his worthless {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. | |||
His first appearance | His first appearance was on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' selling {{p|Magikarp}} to anyone foolish enough to buy one. He would tell them that they would reproduce and make the buyer rich. [[James]] was foolish enough to buy one which later [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|James|Gyarados}}. Some time after he appeared with the same "selling strategy" in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'' and ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]''. Later, in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', he would trade his [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio#Victreebel|Weepinbell]] for [[James's Victreebel]]. He has also appeared in [[Hoenn]], selling {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Hoppip}} disguised as {{p|Chimecho}} when James was searching for a Chimecho. He was also selling Magikarp disguised as {{p|Feebas}} for a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Spoink}}'s [[Valuable item#Pearl and Big Pearl|pearl]] which {{TRT}} stole. Both of them were successfully sold to Team Rocket. | ||
He tried his golden Magikarp scam on {{Tracey}} in ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' claiming that the Magikarp could lay golden {{pkmn|Egg}}s. However, unlike Team Rocket, Tracey was too smart to fall for this trick. The Magikarp Salesman ran off when he discovered that he had knocked on the door of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. | He tried his golden Magikarp scam on {{Tracey}} in ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' claiming that the Magikarp could lay golden {{pkmn|Egg}}s.

His latest major appearance was in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]''. He sold an Evolution machine/Mecha-bot to Team Rocket. While he did inform Team Rocket that the machine must warm up for at least a week before use, Team Rocket forgot to follow his instructions, which resulted in failure in evolving Pokémon and sustaining its Mecha-bot form. Therefore, it is unknown if this was another one of his scams, or if the machine would truly have worked. However, considering he ran off after telling them, it may have been another lie to keep them from following him. | His latest major appearance was in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]''.

He is one of the main reasons why Jessie has a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', he tries to sell a Magikarp to James, but James recognizes him as the one who tricked him into buying a Magikarp on the St. Anne and chases after him, causing him to bump into Jessie, which sends her flying over to the trading machine. When she bumped into it, the Poké Ball containing her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} fell onto the trading machine, trading it with {{OBP|Benny|EP146}}'s Wobbuffet, which he was trying to trade throughout the episode. | |||
