Magikarp [Shadowless] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Magikarp’s Base Set card is part of the original 102-card English Base Set, the release that introduced the Pokémon TCG to the U.S. on January 9, 1999, making the Shadowless version a true early-print piece of hobby history.
Set Lore
Collectors chase Shadowless Base Set cards because they come from the earliest English printings, identified by the missing drop shadow on the right side of the artwork frame.
In-Game
This card’s flavor text comes straight from Magikarp’s long-running Pokédex lore, which says it was stronger in the distant past than the famously weak descendants seen today.
Artist
Magikarp #35 was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the foundational artists of the Pokémon TCG who has contributed artwork since the game’s earliest era.
Cultural Impact
Magikarp’s charm has always been its underdog story: it debuted in Pokémon Red and Blue as a near-useless fish Pokémon, yet evolves into Gyarados, one of the franchise’s most iconic power transformations.
