Splash is Magikarp’s hallmark attack in combat, and it knows no other attack. Magikarp can barely endure one or two attacks from even the most powerful opponents since it has little attack power and poor HP and defensive numbers. It also has poor precision, which means it seldom strikes its opponents, even when they are vulnerable to water attacks.
Fortunately, Magikarp’s splash attack creates wave motion energy, which fuels up Gyarados’ Hyper Beam and, when employed appropriately, drags any opponent into surrender.
