Strategy & play

How Magikarp & Wailord-GX plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
  • Its main attack (Super Splash) needs 5 Energy — a turn-5 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Hits for 180 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
  • Needs Water Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Water type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥150 effectively one-shots it.
  • A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.

How to beat Magikarp & Wailord-GX

  • Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥150 damage one-shots it.
  • Trap it Active — 4 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
  • It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
