In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today. - Red/Blue

For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like Pidgeotto to catch it mid-jump. - Silver

Magikarp is virtually useless in battle as it can only splash around. As a result, it is considered to be weak. However, it is actually a very hardy Pokémon that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is. - Sapphire

Although weak and helpless, this Pokémon is incredibly fertile. They exist in such multitudes, you'll soon grow tired of seeing them. - Sun

A feeble, pitiful imbecile of a Pokémon that is nonetheless very hardy. Unperturbed by turbid water, it can be found living in all sorts of places. - Legends: Arceus
