A user completes the Game Freak game for Nintendo Switch using only this iconic Pokémon from the Kanto region.
Every time a new generation of Pokémon is put up for sale, new challenges, self-imposed challenges and new creatures arise with which to complete the adventure. In Pokémon Sword and Shield there are a total of 400 species scattered throughout the Galar region; About a hundred are new, while the rest come from the previous seven generations, Magikarp included. And it is the latter who becomes the protagonist today: a player has completed the Pokémon League using only Magikarp.
The YouTube channel PokéTips, a content creator accustomed to such challenges as the well-known Nuzlocke – a variant where weakened Pokémon cannot be reused, as a survival mode – has shown in its latest video to be able to defeat Lionel, Galar League Champion, using a 100 level Magikarp; You can barely learn some MT like Hydro Pump and Boat.
This creature was not any one, however. The youtuber was responsible for raising him conscientiously; He raised the special attack EVs to the maximum and used the necessary Chapas to increase their individual genetic values (the IVs) accordingly. In short, a Magikarp maximized to be the best version of himself. And yes, he succeeded: he defeated Lionel in the confrontation, as we can see in the video.

Turn your Magikarp into a fearsome Pokémon too
You can also make your Magikarp shine in Galar if you use the advice of our guide. During these last days we have developed a step-by-step guide for raising Pokémon; We collect the key elements to upload the IVs, change Nature, how to get essential items such as the Iris Amulet – if you want shinys – or the Destination Loop and much more.
What PokéTips has achieved, beyond the funny thing that can be because it is a very weak Pokémon by nature, is one of the many self-imposed challenges of the players with each generation.
