Provenance

Where it came from

The Pokémon GO expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game was released in July 2022, serving as a collaborative tie-in to the popular mobile game developed by Niantic. The set was designed to bridge the aesthetic of the augmented reality mobile experience with the physical card game, featuring artwork that often depicts Pokémon in real-world settings or through the stylized interface of the app.

This specific Magikarp card was illustrated by the artist otumami. Consistent with the Pokémon's long-standing lore as a notoriously weak and splashing fish, the card depicts the creature in a simple, earnest style that highlights its characteristic behavior. It was released as a common card, ensuring wide availability for players looking to complete the set or build thematic water-type decks.
