'''Rind Island''' (Japanese: '''タンカン島''' ''Tankan Island'') is a tiny deserted island in the northern region of the [[Orange Archipelago]]. The waters around Rind Island are a {{p|Magikarp}} breeding ground.

In ''[[EP109|The Wacky Watcher!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} accompanied [[Pokémon Watcher]] [[Quincy T. Quackenpoker]] as he returned to the island to study the Magikarp's annual migration and mass [[evolution]] event. Once a year, Magikarp from all over the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] come back here to their birthplace and after strengthening themselves up by swimming everywhere, try swimming upstream to the top of the river. The school of Magikarp wait until nightfall, when only those strong enough actually evolve into {{p|Gyarados}}. Once the evolution process has ended, they all swim back downstream and return to the ocean.
