mipeto2010 · 2011-09-07, 05:55 PM

jiang said he killed an arceus with a karp that had focus sash.

The Magikarp would be hacked then and probably had Endeavor and Quick Attack?

orboknown · 2011-09-07, 06:08 PM

it was on po so i doubt it was hacked

Oh i go on PO. A Magikarp can be used almost as a lvl 1 aron with Endeavor and a held item like leftover.

Magikarp is not a viable option for any competitive tier and jokes about it are not funny anymore. Jiang might have used a max Speed Jolly Magikarp holding a Choice Scarf to revenge kill a low health Arceus. Magikarp cannot learn the moves Endeavor and Quick Attack and therefore cannot be used as a "Water-type Level 1 Aron" or something.

Magikarp Is awesome. It use to be an ancient pokemon in the old times and it use to be a stronger pokemon in the old times until a dumb magikarp and another dumb magikarp had a magikarp and well these magikarps kept spreading and became dumber and weaker.

[ SET COMMENTS]

Due to Self destruct and explosion being nerfed in gen 5 , magikarp lost the importance as a sacrifice to such attacks however it still reach a speed of 568 with swift swim which is even higher than a deoxys-s , he could probably kill a low hp focus sashed deoxys-s or something like that , he could also flail with 1 hp IT SWEEPS LIKE A EPIC POKEMON man
[Additional Comments]

Feebas does a much better job

[Other Options]

Magikarp can also run choice band to kill a breloom with a super bounce or a jumpuff

[Checks and Counters]

None so far as i checked , every pokemon with 1 hp got killed by a super tackle and no pokemon can outspeed him , thus making him the best pokemon in the pokemon history

Clearly all of you have never learned the necessities in Pokemon School. In MY day, we had teachers who could knew that what was important was the heart in the Pokemon, not their stats. EVERY Pokemon can be a champion, if only you treat them well. Magikarp is no exception; some trainers have recognized the potential of even this poor, underestimated piece of trash overpopulating derpfish wonder of the seas and with great care unlocked the potential hidden within. These trainers are the true winners, using the unstoppable power of their love to great effect; their Magikarp would go to any lengths to provide them aid, even if they only have 1 HP left. Facing against enemies such as Champion Red and a whole team of legendaries, they were nearly beaten into the ground, surviving with only the last sliver of HP...but their dedication provided a comeback, and ultimately earned victory. Never underestimate anything--friendship can overcome any obstacle.

But yeah, it's possible to use Magikarp competitively. It usually involves Baton Pass chains with Smeargle, a Focus Sash with Flail, and possibly infinite Rain.
Although, TBH, using Baton Pass you can literally beat anything with anything. Unown sweeps, Happiny sweeps, Caterpie sweeps, they're all possible...with Baton Pass.

That sounds like Old Spice. >_>
