Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Houndoom for Catgirl_1990
« on: March 11, 2014, 05:16:43 PM »
Pokemon #229, Houndoom, Dark/Fire type, Dark Pokemon.

Houndoom is a dark, canine pokemon of the night that strikes fear into the hearts of friends and foes alike. It has a smooth, black body with four legs. It has an orange mouth and belly, and a black, devil-like tail. Its head is decorated with two curled, bone-like horns, and similar decorations resembling ribs are found arounds its neck and on its back. It also has two bone-like rings on each of its three-toed paws. A small skull-like decoration on its chest is a finishing touch.

Habitat: Houndoom may be rarely found leading packs of Houndour in volcanic regions, as well as the suburbs of Goldenrod City.

Diet: Houndoom has a strict diet of meat, which it hunts on its own or in a pack. It will also eat common pokemon food such as berries.

Biology: Houndoom’s howl is known to spread fear into the hearts of all that know it. When an alpha Houndoom howls, the rest of the pack is typically intimidated as a side-effect.
Houndoom has several toxins residing in its body, which are expelled when it breathes fire. As a result, Houndoom’s flame will permanently damage the target and the pain of the flame will never go away. Scientists have traced the effect of the toxins, and they were found to have a severely damaging effect on neurons. Due to the severity of the damage, the pain cannot be removed with a single medicine, and limb amputation is also pointless due to phantom pains. New developments in neuron transplantation have been shown to be an effective cure for the pain, but it should be noted that this is an expensive treatment. A pokemon that is damaged by this move can simply be cured in a Pokemon center to full recovery.
Although Houndoom is typically known to be a fierce and ruthless pokemon, especially in a pack, individual specimens were shown to have a protective attitude towards small, helpless pokemon. This behavior is shown more often in Houndoom which have a trainer, rather than wild specimens.
After a close bond has been forged with the trainer, Houndoom has the ability to Mega-Evolve using Houndoominite. Mega-Houndoom is covered in bone-like armor, which is shaped like two tusks on the side, and has two blade-like extensions pointing up and two pointing to the side of its neck. The bones on its back now fully resemble a spine, and the rings on its hind legs have vanished. Houndooms horns now have an upturned, demonic appearance. It’s tail has split into two. Formerly a night-dweller, Mega-Houndoom is now fully able to make use of the Sun’s energy, resulting in the ability Solar Power.

Pokemon League Commission notes:
Class B: Houndoom is a pokemon that is rarely found in the wild, and most of the wild pokemon have an alpha-role in packs of Houndour. Although sometimes local authorities may put out a bounty for catching the leader of a particularly troublesome pack of Houndour, catching of Houndoom is usually restricted to prevent escalation of pack quarrels. Lone Houndoom may be caught restrictedly.

Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Castform
« on: March 10, 2014, 10:17:34 PM »
Pokemon #351, Castform, Normal type, Weather pokemon.

Intro: Castform is a man-made pokemon that reacts to and changes with the weather. In its natural form, it looks like a grey head with a single upstanding tuft of hair on its head. It has two eyes encircled by a white sunglasses-shaped patch. It has a small tail and two, uhm, spherical appendages resembling, uhm, clouds.

Habitat: Castform is not naturally seen in most environment, due to its synthetic nature. However, since several trainers have released Castform into the wild after breeding for natures, small packs of Castform may be seen roaming around in random places.

Food: Castform was designed not to need food. It sustains its own molecular structure by generating ATP between form changes. It is able to metabolize food such as poffins, pokeblocks and rare candies for added characteristics and properties, but it is not necessary.

Biology: Castform is able to change into three forms depending on the weather. The Sunny form is a fire-type and exists during sunny weather. The Rainy form is a water type and exists during rain. The Snowy form exists during hail or snow and is an ice type. The Sunny form transforms Castform’s head into a bright orange sun shape and turns the body white. The Rainy form transforms the head into a blue raindrop and turns the body dark grey slightly reminiscent of a storm cloud. The Snowy form turns Castform’s head purplish and transforms the body into a grey/green cumulunimbus cloud, surrounding the head in its entirety. The different forms have different moods and personalities, which are a reflection of the weather.
The creation of Castform was an arduous task, that started with a temperature-dependent polymer-lipid multilayer that varied in density as temperature changed. This multilayer compound was grafted onto pokemon-cells using genetic modification, that allowed the cells to create the compound by itself. Additionally, several experimental phases were passed in order to give Castform definite forms during different weather conditions. Initial prototypes had a gradient progression between weather forms, which allowed the existence of a multi-weather form Castform. This form was however found to be unstable, and the research team moved on from this design. After several months of investigation, the team was at a breakthrough after the idea was had to have the cells behave as water. The natural behavior of the bilayer compound was supported by several multi-active proteins and enzymes, and the prototype for Castform’s cellular makeup was generated. After another half a year the final, genetically stable Castform was generated and was granted the title of pokemon.
Additional promising metabolic grafts were designed to allow Castform to generate energy from changing forms in order to sustain itself, as well as create a proof-of-concept for energy-generating tissue that is more efficient than solar cells.
A sandstorm-sensitive genetic addition was omitted from the design after initial experiments, as the rock-like structure the cells took was fundamentally incompatible with the cloud-like composition of Castform’s tissue. The increased density obtained by the rock-type Castform would ultimately become heavier than air and lose altitude rapidly, until it was immobilized by its own weight, often leaving a small crater upon impact.
Thanks to its specific design, Castform is able to learn the most powerful moves (omitting legendary-only moves such as V-create) of its three types, Fire Blast, Blizzard and Hydro Pump. In the specific weather types, Castform is able to use these moves to great effect thanks to added power from its own type and the weather. It is also able to learn other weather related moves such as Solar Beam and its signature move Weather Ball, whose type changes with the weather. Since the creation of Castform, other pokemon such as Raikou and Roserade have shown aptitude with the move Weather Ball and have added it to their arsenal. Traces from Castform's original design are still visible in the move Weather Ball, as the move turns into a Rock-type move during Sandstorms.

Pokemon League Commision notes:
Class F: Castform is typically only obtainable through contact with the Weather Institute that distributes them, and grants trainers a licence to use them. Exceptional trainers may obtain breeding permits. The institute claims all ownership for any newly bred Castform or those caught in the wild. The institute must be notified of any new Castform obtained by trainers in any way in order to register them and check for genetic instabilities, as that specific aspect has not been covered by multi-generation investigations yet.

Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Corsola for Triloog
« on: March 10, 2014, 08:51:40 PM »
Pokemon #222, Corsola, Water/Rock type, Coral Pokemon

Corsola is a gentle pokemon that is known for its prized coral growths, and for harboring the town of Pacifidlog. Corsola is a pink, round pokemon with a white underside and some white spots on the sides. Corsola has 4 large, branched growths on its back, and a single smaller horn-like stump on its forehead. It has two small arms and four small white legs. It is typically seen with a cheerful demeanor.

Habitat: Corsola typically lives in the oceanic regions with shallow water, slow currents and a warm environment. Large populations of Corsola thrive in these environments, while smaller populations may be found in cooler areas. Corsola colonies are an indication of a healthy environment, as it is unable to live in polluted areas.

Food: Corsola is able to sift plankton and algea from the currents of the ocean water. It feeds on these microscopic organisms.

Biology: As mentioned before, Corsola are unable to live in polluted environments. Corsola’s branches decolorate and lose their structural integrity due to pollution, and often crumble off.
Corsola are able to grow and expand in the right conditions. Their branches grow quickly and Corsola sheds these several times in the course of weeks. In the case of a very healthy environment, the shed branches may aggregate on the ocean floor and create large piles that may be used as settlements for other pokemon and even humans. Pacifidlog Town is the best-known settlement of this type. Pacifidlog Town was long thought to be built solely on living Corsola, but deep probing revealed that the inside of the colony was actually a collection of Corsola sheddings. The quick regeneration of the branches has allowed Corsola to develop the move recover, as well as the ability natural cure.
Corsola has evolved its ability to quickly regrow its branches in order to deal with erosion from the currents. Naturally, a Corsola will retain roughly the same size, though environments with slow currents will allow it to grow quickly
Corsola’s branches are very valuable and treasured by many as gems of the ocean. Since healthy Corsola grow quickly and shed their branches many times, Corsola farms have arisen in certain areas. The PLC and the Pokemon Health Organisation do not allow farmers to keep large populations in order to protect the well-being of the pokemon. Additionally, the farms are self-regulating, since a farm that abuses Corsola will quickly find out that the lack of coral growth will severely kill profits. Additionally, any such a farm will be heavily fined, but the general trend is that Corsola farmers treat their pokemon exceptionally well.

Pokemon League Commission notes:
Class D.
Corsola is a pokemon that multiplies quickly in healthy environments, so catching is usually unrestricted. The people of Pacifidlog have specifically requested a restriction of Corsola over-fishing in the region, since a lack of Corsola may cause instabilities of the village. In areas with less beneficial conditions for Corsola, catching may be restricted.

Pokedex Entries / Re: [Pokedex Entry] Regigigas
« on: March 09, 2014, 02:23:10 AM »
I could go on and on about choices in style, but after thoroughly reviewing your text, I came to the conclusiont that your grammar is actually very good :) Your style is a bit stale and static (and I REALLY want to add that that's FINE for scientific literature), but it works. If you change the first paragraph to this:


Regigigas are powerful, bipedal and humanoid Legendary Pokemon that are said to have moved the continents in ancient times. Although this isn't true, they do have extremely large amounts of strength. Regigigas are capable of creating the Legendary Golems: Regirock, Regice, and Registeel and can control them even after they have been captured by a trainer. It is thought Regigigas controls the Legendary Golems by using telepathy and then either issuing commands or controlling them directly. While under the control of Regigigas, the Legendary Golems will not listen to any other command. Regigigas are naturally calm and gentle but will go on a rampage if awoken from sleep. They appear to have been locked away in ancient times with a set of Legendary Golems being the keys that awaken them. They were once thought to be intricate statues.


Then It's flawless as far as grammar is concerned :)

Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Gardevoir for xhizor8201
« on: March 08, 2014, 10:03:32 AM »
Pokemon #282, Gardevoir, Psychic/Fairy type, Embrace pokemon.

Intro: Gardevoir is a pokemon that is known for its extremely protective behavior towards its trainer, and the ability to form a deep emotional bond with him or her.
Gardevoir is a tall, green and white pokemon that looks somewhat humanoid. It has long green hair that curls from the back of its head towards its neck and a grows towards a single spike on the forehead. Gardevoir has feminine features, a face that extends in three spikes on the side of its head and red irises. Gardevoir has a long, slim and elegant body that extends into a white dress, hiding its two slim legs. Its arms are thin but wide and end in three soft spikes. Its chest and back are decorated with a red horn, which is round on its back and spiky on its chest.

Habitat: Although Gardevoir are extremely rare in the wild, and populations of its family typically consist of Ralts, it is sometimes seen roaming populated areas such as towns and urban environments, since it longs to be in the vicinity of people.

Diet: Although Gardevoir can sustain itself for a long time using its psychic powers, it is known to restore its powers with berries and other herbal food. It may eat human food when on the brink of starvation, but it prefers not to.

Biology: Gardevoir is known as the embrace pokemon, because it is able to form a strong emotional bond with its trainer. The bond is unlike any other pokemon, since a Gardevoir will stop at nothing to protect its trainer, even if it has to sacrifice its own life. Gardevoir’s abilities synchronise and trace allow it to freely convert its feelings and unravel what its trainer is feeling and thinking at the moment.
The evolution of Gardevoir’s spike is actually somewhat problematic for Gardevoir, since it severely complicates hugging with the trainer, which it loves to do. Since Gardevoir is very careful, no trainers have yet to be hurt by a Gardevoir’s embrace, but the danger is always there. In practice, this problem is usually solved by turning it sideways.
Gardevoirs powers are great enough to bend time and space, and create a small black hole. Creating such a singularity has attracted lots of attention from companies using advanced technology to produce energy. The process has been replicated, and tremendous progress has been made towards fusion technology thanks to the opportunity to recreate Gardevoir’s powers.
Gardevoir’s cellular structure is very peculiar. With a humanshape build, one would expect similarities with other humanshape pokemon. However, Gardevoir’s cellular structure is more like those of ghost-type pokemon and other pokemon with which it shares the Amorphous egg-group. Gardevoir also controls its own body with its psychic abilities, managing its own chemical household, healing itself when necessary with the move wish, and negating any pull from gravity, giving itself even more of a graceful appearance.
Gardevoir also has the ability to predict the future. Many scientists have tried, and failed, to recreate this ability. It appears Gardevoir only actively uses this ability to protect their loved ones.
Gardevoir has the ability to Mega-evolve during battle, if a deep connection between the pokemon and its trainer have been formed. Mega-Gardevoir looks like Gardevoir, but has a ballroom-gown rather than a slim dress, and its arms are white. The entire ensemble looks like a wedding-dress. Indeed, trainers which are able to have Gardevoir bring forth this form, can be sure that the Gardevoir is willing to spend the rest of her life with the trainer.

Pokemon League Commission notes:
Class D: Although Gardevoir is an extremely rare pokemon in the wild, it is also an extremely social pokemon that craves friends and family. Due to this need, the PLC has made an exception towards the catching of wild Gardevoir. Catching is recommended, since a lone wild Gardevoir will get lonely, sad and may die due to sorrow.

This is pretty good :) The grammar needs just a little bit of improvement here and there, but on the whole I really like this entry. You managed to make something nice of the Regi-cycle and I also like the way you worked with slow start and Regigigas' huge stats. good job :)

If you'd like some help with the grammar and flow of the sentences, you can tell me and I'll make what I would consider to be a corrected version. Of course, if Xetroc is fine with this version, I'll consider myself to be overruled.

Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Rattata
« on: March 06, 2014, 09:29:27 PM »
Pokemon #19. Rattata, normal type, Rat pokemon.

Intro: Rattata is one of the most wide-spread pokemon known. It’s a small purple rodent with two big front teeth, or fangs, and a curled tail, and a white underside, most people will instantly recognise a Rattata. It has three toes on each of its four paws and two whiskers on its nose, one on each side. It uses its fangs as its primary weapon.

Habitat: Rattata is very widespread and can be found all over the world. In open plains, forests, near mountainous regions, sometimes even in caves, there are few pokemon that have so many territories.

Diet: Rattata likes to eat nuts, fruits, cheese and berries. It will take any opportunity it can to scavenge food from travelers.

Biology: Rattata is a small pokemon that is mostly known for the fact that every starting trainer has one. Rattata is not particularly strong, smart or fast, but it has some very powerful moves, for which it uses its fangs. It also has some ability to charge its fur with static electricity, which allows it to use electrical moves. Additionally, Rattata can use some other elemental attacks such as Ice Beam, but Rattata is less talented at elemental attacks compared to other normal-type pokemon.
Rattata’s fangs grow continuously, so it has the need to constantly chew on everything in order to whittle them down. If it does not have the opportunity to do so, the length of the teeth will cause injuries to itself.
Rattata is a very cautious and quick pokemon, fleeing from most predators and trainers with ease.
Although the variation in power between Rattata is not any different from any other pokemon, new trainers will overestimate the power of a slightly more powerful Rattata. There is some unique terminology used only by Rattata trainers, one particular term being ‘top percentage’.

Pokemon League Commission notes:
Class D: Rattata are plentiful and may be caught without restriction.

Hi everyone,

Since there's really not any specific order in which the pokedex needs to be filled, and I'd like to have some more interaction with people on this site, I'd like to take requests for pokedex entries :)

It's really simple. Just comment here which pokemon you want me to do, and I'll make an entry. If you have any specific info, inspiration of imagination that you want me to use, please tell me :) If there's anything you want me to leave out, you may also mention it and I'll see what I can do (for instance, I've avoided writing about fugu fish being a delicacy as the plague when writing about Qwilfish, since I don't want to write that people would even think about eating my favorite pokemon ;) )

Please let me do work for you! I'll continue to make posts on my own tempo, but being motivated by others will probably help me to do more in the same amount of time.

Rules: one pokemon per requester in queue at a time. I process requests in order of commenting. I don't do Ludicolo since I hate that pokemon and I don't want an entry to be filled with hate.

Thanx Xetroc, I really, really appreciate it. There's a huge difference between thinking you probably did a good job and someone telling you you did a good job. It's really the kind of comment I need to keep going.

Honestly, although writing entries like this does not practically take a lot of time, it puts a lot of strain on me mentally. Getting back comments and appreciation, or really any form of interaction just makes it all worth while.
As a matter of fact, doing these entries really makes me get why you guys really needed outside motivation to continue working on PU at all. So let's do our best to keep each other motivated!

Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Celebi
« on: March 06, 2014, 08:51:48 PM »
Pokemon #251, Celebi, Grass/Psychic type, Time Travel pokemon

Intro: Celebi is the coveted guardian of Ilex forest, and said to be an envoy of peaceful era’s. Celebi is a small, fairy-like, light green pokemon. It has small wings and a droplet-shaped head with two light-green antenna with blue tips. It has large, bright blue eyes with black circles and a cheerful demeanor. The end of its head appears to consist from several strands with bright green highlights. It has a small, bright green body and two light-green arms with three small claw-like fingers.

Habitat: Although Celebi has no officially registered habitat, it is known to typically dwell in forests. Especially Ilex forest is apparently a choice location, since one of the few recorded sightings of Celebi have been here.

Diet: Celebi is known to crave certain types of berries. It will go as far as to hasten the flowering, pollination and ripening of the fruit using temporal manipulation in order to eat these.

Celebi has the power to control plants and nature, restructuring it and ripening fruit to fulfil its own needs. Celebi’s presence causes plants to flourish and nature to be restored completely.
Celebi’s ability to travel through time has caused the research on its origin to reach a dead end, and escalate into philosophical debate. There exists the possibility that Celebi originates in the future, where eons of evolution allowed it to reach a pinnacle of existence in the abilty to travel through time. This ability would then allow it to travel to any era and spread its influence through history. It may also have originated alongside the original pokemon mew and Arceus.
In one report, a Celebi was caught and exploited by a team Rocket executive. Reports mention that this led to severe physical abuse of the Celebi, which eventually led to its demise. The Celebi was then resurrected thanks to the summoning of many of its kin, which reversed the flow of time and the demise of the Celebi. The appearance of many Celebi was also the topic of much debate. Next to the possibility that many Celebi were summoned from many periods of time, or from a parallel dimension that exists outside our time, it is also possible that only a single Celebi exists, infinitely interacting with itself in many eras, and extending its own life indefinitely. Since there is no way to prove any of these theories, the debate will continue.
Celebi’s ability to travel through time was shown to be transferrable with specialized equipment. The transfer of this ability to a human vessel allowed the human to see into the future until the power ran out. The transfer of this power completely stripped the surrounding environment of all life and the act was branded as a crime against nature, pokemon and humanity.
In direct combat, Celebi is able to reverse time and heal its own injuries. It’s signature move is Future Sight.

Pokemon League Commission notes:
Class A: Since the use of a Celebi has proven to possibly have destructive consequences for entire environments, catching of Celebi is strictly prohibited. Additionally, the prime directive states that no human interference in timelines is allowed, in order to secure the existence of the present, and a trainer using a Celebi to travel through time is in direct conflict with this law.
Celebi is known to sometimes choose a trainer to follow in a quest of great significance. Using temporal anomaly tracking, it was recorded that the hero Gold used Celebi's power to travel to the past and prevent the uprising of Team Rocket's Giovanni. Since this involved a matter of national safety, the PLC has retroactively juged this use of Celebi's power as admissable.

Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Lugia
« on: March 06, 2014, 08:16:28 PM »
Pokemon #249, Lugia, Psychic/Flying type, Diving pokemon.

Lugia. Guardian of the Seas, Balancer of the Elements, Bringer of Storms and Dweller under the Waves. Lugia is known by many titles, and many of these tell a tale about its awesome powers. Lugia is a large silver-white, blue and dark purple pokemon. It has a streamlined body, made for aero- and hydrodynamic movement. Lugia has two large, white wings with appendages that are similar to fingers. It has 10 black, platelike protrusions on its back which it can withdraw or extend depending on the situation. Lugia has a beak-like mouth, two dark purple extensions from its eyes, and two dark purple spikes on its long white tail.

Habitat: Rarely observed, no particular population of Lugia was ever discovered to dwell anywhere. Individual Lugia are rarely found in oceanic caverns by blessed trainers.

Diet: Although no records of Lugia’s diet exist, it is hypothesized that Lugia consumes fish, as it is the only viable source of protein available on the ocean-floor.

Biology: Lugia has tremendous power and control over the weather. It is able to summon hurricanes with a flap of its wings. These storms are said to last for 40 days according to legends. When it focuses its wind-power, it can produce the move Aeroblast, which is a unique move only possessed by Lugia. Lugia has a great sense of responsibility, and thus hides in caverns on the ocean-floor to protect the world from its power. It is thus known as the Guardian of the Oceans. It is unknown if there is any link with the oceanic legendary pokemon Kyogre.
Although Lugia has large, powerful wings, it uses its psychic power to fly rather than use its wings. This is mostly to prevent itself from flapping its wings and unintentionally causing storms.
Lugia is an extremely intelligent pokemon, capable of human speech and possessing a keen sense with which it judges passing trainers. It hides its presence from unworthy trainers that would happen to stumble upon it. Only in exceptional occasions will it show itself to a trainer, allowing the trainer for a chance to create a bond and make use of its power.
An individual Lugia is also known to be the guardian of the Orange Islands, and the only force able to stop a quarrel between the resident legendary birds Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. Great calamity is said to befall the region should Lugia fail in its task of balancing their elemental powers.
Lugia’s expertise in balancing elemental powers also shows in its own mastery of elemental moves. Apart from its own psychic moves, Lugia is also able to use powerful water, electrical, ice and ghost-type moves.
Lugia is a spectacular exception amongst legendary pokemon, in that a parent and child were observed by several trainers and Team Rocket. The parent was fiercely protective of the child, but the actual process of reproduction was not observed. It is speculated that Lugia meet for reproductive purposes in extremely rare occasions, but it has also been hypothesized that Lugia reproduces asexually. In any case, records of Lugia breeding in captivity by a trainer are non-existant. Due to its ability to reproduce, it is speculated that a population of Lugia may exist hidden from humanity.

Pokemon League Commission notes:
Class A: Due to its tremendous power and ability to cause storms with ease, capture and use of Lugia is strictly prohibited.
Should calamity befall the world, a chosen trainer may be granted permission to temporarily catch and use Lugia. Afterwards, the trainer will be urged to release Lugia again or hand it over to the Pokemon League. Trainers have yet to choose the second option.

Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Magikarp
« on: March 05, 2014, 07:11:20 PM »
Pokemon #129, Magikarp, water type, Fish Pokemon.

Intro: Magikarp is a ubiquitous fish pokemon that is mostly known for its absolute lack of any skills whatsoever. Magikarp is mostly red, with yellow, crown-shaped pelvic and dorsal fins. It has two yellow whiskers on its face, and its gaze is typically set to infinity.
Magikarp's sole redeeming feature is its ability to evolve into Gyarados.

Habitat: Magikarp's presence is ubiquitous in all bodies of water. Any trainer with an old rod will undoubtebly encounter one anywhere, be it in salt or sweet water.

Diet: Magikarp eats mostly algea. It may sometimes snack upon the worm at the end of a fishing hook.

Biology: Evolution has left Magikarp as a pokemon that is utterly useless. Magikarp has a tremendous splashing ability that allows it to scale waterfalls and even mountains, but due to its inferior swimming ability, it tends to end up downstream again, unable to swim against the current. In the course of battle, any regular Magikarp will not do anything but splash around. After rigorous training, a Magikarp will learn the ability to use the move tackle, but it is typically unable to KO any opponent with it, due to its lack of power, defence and endurance.
Magikarp’s reproduction is the fastest of all pokemon. A Magikarp egg also hatches the quickest. This has allowed trainers to quickly and efficiently breed Magikarp in order to have the strongest Gyarados.
Magikarp as a prey may splash out of the water several feet, which allows predators such as Pidgeot to simply pick them out of the air. However, since Magikarp are made mostly of bones and scales, they are inedible for most pokemon, and often dropped and released again.
Magikarp is a very hardy pokemon with a terrific immune system, that allows it to live in virtually any body of water. This, in combination with their breeding rates and status as an inedible prey, has led to their omnipresence.
There have been reports of Magikarp that grew huge and were able to inflict some damage on opponents thanks to their increased physical power. These cases are very rare.
Although Magikarp are usually docile, constant pummeling and physical abuse may force it into evolution, leaving the abuser with an enraged Gyarados to deal with.
Magikarp is able to learn the move Flail at level 30. Although Magikarp's own power is too low to be of any significant use, Magikarp enthousiasts have been able to boost Magikarp's power to tremendous levels with certain battle techniques. In combination with Flail's incredible power when the user is at 1 HP, this power has wiped out entire parties. The opponents of the Magikarp were left flabberghasted and doubting their own eyes. In some cases, the shame of a Magikarp sweep will urge trainers to rethink their trainer career. Magikarp that were able to accomplish such a feat are usually dubbed Kriticarp.

Pokemon League Commission notes:
Class D: Magikarp is ubiquitous, and even unplanned disasters that made other pokemon populations dwindle, such as pollution, have yet to have an effect on the Magikarp population.
