At least with a Sunkern you can get a couple of super effective hits in before you flop over uselessly

In that video, the guy just kept buffing magikarp's stats and magikarp was 41 levels higher than the 1 pokemon, and he was still getting ****ed up.
so i hope you know that you did not defend magikarp at all, you just futher proven he is the weakest

But when it comes down just to a terrible move pool, yeah, I guess Magikarp wins that one. One move that does absolutely nothing, and Tackle. Not what you're going to win a battle with, especially considering its stats are horrible too, and Swift Swim downright fails in that situation.

and Flail, which has value, if you keep it from evolving, at Lv 30, it learns Flail.
You dont wanna rely on that either.
Jerry:
I put Caterpie... with only Tackle and String Shot... It doesn't get far...
Even the Flail of Magikarp (if you allow it to get that), can be a quite 'powerful move'
LeoReborn:
Flail is a move that is stronger with less Hp, If you rely on that only, Magikarp doesnt last long.
Jerry:
I know, but say Caterpie against Magikarp. With each subsequent flail from Magikarp, and each subsequent tackle from Caterpie, you'll see Caterpie's HP going down more each turn.
Say tackle takes 5 HP/turn, and flail starts at 1 HP, then 2, then 3, then 5, etc.
Setting us a simple equation;
y = 5x
y = x(x+1)/2
Solving for y, you get y = 9. Which means if after 9 turns Caterpie hasn't taken Magikarp down, Magikarp will take Caterpie down. Of course, this is only a simulation.
