Attacks & rules

Ancestral Memory

Water 40

Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. Either way, you can't use this attack again as long as Giovanni's Magikarp stays in play (even putting Giovanni's Magikarp on the Bench won't let you use it again).

Flail Around

Water Colorless 10×

Flip 3 coins. This attack does 10 damage times the number of heads.

Frequently asked questions

Is a Giovanni's Magikarp common worth anything?

This was printed into almost every booster, so one copy is bulk. Printed 73 of 132 in Gym Challenge, it carries the Common marking, drawn by Ken Sugimori. Giovanni's Magikarp is a Basic Water Pokémon with 30 HP. The line continues from it into Giovanni's Gyarados. It matters only when it fills a gap in a set or an evolution line, which is where the small premium comes from.
