Attacks
Ancestral Memory
Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. Either way, you can't use this attack again as long as Giovanni's Magikarp stays in play (even putting Giovanni's Magikarp on the Bench won't let you use it again).
Flail Around
Flip 3 coins. This attack does 10 damage times the number of heads.

Common questions
What rarity is Giovanni's Magikarp #73?
Giovanni's Magikarp is a Common. Gym Challenge contains 49 cards at that rarity out of 132 total.
Does condition change what Giovanni's Magikarp is worth?
The prices on this page are for raw, ungraded copies. Condition swings what a card fetches — a Near Mint copy can be worth several times a played one, and a PSA 9 or PSA 10 slab is a different market again. Scryda scans the card, reads the exact print and finish, and shows raw alongside graded comps.
