Magikarp & Wailord GX Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Magikarp & Wailord-GX became one of Team Up’s signature chase cards because TAG TEAM Pokémon-GX debuted in that era, and this pair stood out immediately with a then-unprecedented 300 HP that made the card feel as gigantic as Wailord itself.
Artist
This specific Team Up #161 version is especially memorable to collectors because its Special Full Art artwork was illustrated by OOYAMA, giving the card a playful, offbeat personality that feels very different from standard powerhouse TAG TEAM cards.
Set Lore
Before collectors could pull it in Team Up, Magikarp & Wailord-GX first appeared as an SM Black Star Promo in the Towering Splash-GX Box, which helped build hype around the duo before the expansion’s release.
In-Game
The pairing is a perfect Pokémon-world contrast piece: Magikarp is famous in the video games for starting weak and needing patience to evolve, while Wailord is one of the franchise’s most famously enormous Water-types, making their TAG TEAM feel like a joke card and a monster card at the same time.
Cultural Impact
Pokémon’s own retrospective on Sun & Moon-era cards highlighted Magikarp & Wailord-GX as a standout early TAG TEAM, noting that it was initially released as a promo and briefly stood alone as the only TAG TEAM card in the game before Team Up launched.
