Collector’s notes

Magikarp & Wailord-GX 161/181 (Team Up)
Magikarp & Wailord-GX turns the Tag Team concept into a joke, with a huge, wide-eyed Magikarp leaping out of the frame while Wailord, the giant of the pair, sits tiny in the corner spouting water. Art by OOYAMA uses thick outlines and flat color for a cartoonish, almost comic-strip feel. Collectors chase this full art Rare Ultra from Team Up for its humor and its oddball scale reversal.
Shining Magikarp 66/64 (Neo Revelation)
Shining Magikarp shows a golden Magikarp gliding underwater above a rippling seabed, with three ordinary red Magikarp drifting around it in muted tones so the gold one pops against the holo sparkle. Art by Ken Sugimori gives it a clean, simple look. As a secret Rare Shining from Neo Revelation and the first shiny Magikarp on a card, it draws both Neo collectors and Gyarados fans.
Magikarp 203/193 (Paldea Evolved)
Magikarp leaps up a glittering waterfall set against a dark, densely etched jungle of plants and sparkles, with a shadowy Gyarados lurking among the lightning bolts in the upper corner. Art by Shinji Kanda, the scratchy, hand-drawn texture makes the whole scene feel like a woodcut at night. Collectors chase this Illustration Rare from Paldea Evolved for that hidden evolution story and its striking, unusual style.
