Provenance

Where it came from

The Magikarp card numbered 042/193 was released as part of the Paldea Evolved expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in mid-2023. This set serves as a centerpiece for the Scarlet and Violet series, focusing heavily on the creatures and landscapes introduced in the Paldea region of the mainline video games.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is known for his whimsical and expressive character depictions. His approach for this particular Magikarp focuses on the Pokémon's signature helpless demeanor, capturing it mid-flop in a style that emphasizes its humorous and unassuming nature, which has long been the hallmark of Magikarp's design throughout the franchise.
