Magikarp is a {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with large, heavy reddish-orange scales. It has large, vacant eyes and pink lips. Its {{wp|fish fin|pectoral}} and tail fins are white. On its back is a stiff, three-peaked yellow fin, resembling a crown; there is an identical fin on its underside. It also has long {{wp|barbel (anatomy)|barbels}}. The barbels are white on a female and pale-yellow on a male. A long-lived Magikarp is able to utilize its immense splashing power to leap high enough to scale mountains. It also has a strong enough immune system to survive in the most polluted of waters. However, it is usually overlooked by Trainers because of its perceived weakness: even in the heat of battle, it will do nothing but flop around. It is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than modern Magikarp, and this led scientists to research this species. | Magikarp is a {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with large, heavy reddish-orange scales.
