Apropos of Nothing: Magikarp is the best Pokemon

In the classical evolutionary sense, We’re talking a creature with basically no natural defense mechanisms that has managed to have a booming population across the entire planet, save Unova. Its natural uselessness is the only defense it has and it’s a perfect one. It’s basically inedible for humans, meaning it’s probably mostly inedible for predatory Pokemon. Definitely not worth the effort of hunting and for how little it gives you. This even despite the fact that it lacks the gland that lets the majority of Pokemon produce toxins in their bodies (one of the few Pokemon that can’t learn Toxic). Its lack of combat abilities makes an an unappealing catch for all but the most dedicated trainers, meaning they, too, leave Magikarp alone. If anything, the evolution into Gyarados makes it significantly less viable in the wild by raising its aggression so high, meaning even if it has no natural predators it’s gonna run afoul of something that can defend itself eventually. Magikarp never would.

Magikarp is basically the koala of the Pokemon world. Not literally, of course, but because, like koalas, they’re pretty much inedible, so nothing wants to eat them. 

I love this dumb fish.

Hey you! Yeah, you! Have you ever wanted to be trapped, with no way out, with nothing but your favorite floppy boy? Well this enthralling video by Pikasprey Yellow will show you how!

This is super amazing. I actually completely forgot that Shadowless cards were a thing, so now I gotta add those to my list of cards I need for my own collection.

Only the very richest of trainers can afford terrariums big enough to allow their exotic magikarp strains to grow into full adults. Then again, making sure every fish swallows an everstone is a real pain, too.

GYARADOS IS IN DETECTIVE PIKACHU

Also I know Magikarp is in there too, because there’s a card of it in the DP TCG set, but I haven’t seen it in the trailers

Misty’s Gyarados is my favorite character from the anime

Pokémon #129 - Magikarp | Height: 3 Feet | Weight: 22 Lbs

Fish Pokémon

Magikarp is a pathetic excuse for a Pokémon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.

Again, f*ck the Pokédex.

Now that’s what I call a sword!

Hey guys I just found out that an account called @magikarp-propaganda exists, and, as expected, they’re awesome. Go follow them

I found him!

It's really a shame that he's not a primary Spirit though

Just because your little buddy can’t swim doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a fun day on the water!

Edit: Full view, please. Tumblr ruined the quality. :(

Sorry I haven't been very active on this account, I don't really go out of my way to find content for this blog. I just sort of hope it shows up on my dash.
