The '''Magikarp salesman''' (Japanese: '''コイキング売り''' ''Koiking-uri'') is a tricky man who is always getting [[James]] to buy one of his [[Pokémon]]. He is voiced by 石塚運昇 ''[[Unshō Ishizuka]]'' in Japanese and by [[Eric Stuart]] in English. He seems to be a reference to the infamous man in the Mt. Moon Pokémon Center in [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow|Yellow]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], who would sell the player an ordinary {{p|Magikarp}} for {{PDollar}}500 (but of course, Magikarp is | The '''Magikarp salesman''' (Japanese: '''コイキング売り''' ''Koiking-uri'') is a tricky man who is always getting [[James]] to buy one of his [[Pokémon]].

However, the games' Magikarp salesman did serve some purpose, because a player could use him to get a Magikarp before receiving a rod, so they could get a Gyarados early on. | ||
His first appearance in the anime 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}}. Later he would trade his [[James's second Victreebel|Weepinbell]] for [[James's Victreebel]]. He has also appeared in [[Hoenn]], selling a {{TP|James|Hoppip}} disguised as {{p|Chimecho}} when James was searching for a Chimecho, and also selling Magikarp disguised as a [[Jessie's Magikarp|Feebas]] for a {{an|Spoink}} [[Valuable item#Pearl and Big Pearl|pearl]] which [[Team Rocket]] stole. Both of them were successfully sold to Team Rocket. | His first appearance in the anime was on the [[S.S.
