Magikarp
Gold

An underpowered, pathetic POKéMON. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.

Silver

For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like PIDGEOTTO to catch it mid-jump.

Crystal

This weak and pathetic POKéMON gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.
