Magikarp
A fragile starter that relies entirely on luck to become useful.
What this card does
Magikarp has very low health and is weak to lightning attacks.
It can evolve into a random Pokémon from your deck using three energy cards.
Waterfall Evolution
Put a random card from your deck that evolves from this Pokémon onto this Pokémon to evolve it.
The Waterfall Evolution attack lets you search your deck for any card that evolves from Magikarp and attach it directly. This bypasses the normal stage evolution rules but gives you no control over which powerful creature you get.
