Whenever a Pokemon is highlighted every bit an official Community Day Pokemon, catching it will during that twenty-four hour period will permit it to learn a unique move. In some cases, as with Magikarp, that move will only be learned past a later on evolution. The Magikarp's unique move, Aqua Tail, probably won't land it in the best Dandy League teams, but only time will tell for certain.

There volition exist many Magikarp to catch come Community Day, and despite the Pokemon's less than stellar condition, lots to practise with them. Players often mail service shots of themselves with their Pokemon in interesting locations. While it might be best to stay at home as much as possible, at that place's notwithstanding plenty of room for fun Magikarp moments.
