Magikarp is Pokédex #129, generation 1 (Kanto). Magikarp is a Basic Water Pokémon with 30 HP.

Magikarp sits at 44/198 in Scarlet & Violet, position 44 of 258. Before it is 43 Slowbro, and after it is 45 Gyarados ex. The set belongs to the Scarlet & Violet series. It was released on March 31, 2023. The printed size is 198. This checklist is longer, at 258 cards. The listed rarity is Common.

The attack Jump lists no damage number. The cost is Water. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions but never more than seven feet." The regulation mark is G.

Magikarp (#129) has 44 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 39 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Magikarp 35/102 in Base (1999). Both list 30 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Common. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Magikarp list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA. I count 31 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Scarlet & Violet set binder is where a full Scarlet & Violet set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Magikarp can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
