The Magikarp Challenge™ [Platinum Resort Area]
I'm pretty sure this hasn't been done before, but if anyone's noticed, talk to the guy in the swimming pool in the resort area (Platinum only, sorry) He says the king of the pool is there or something like that. Once you go fishing in the resort area water (the one with the bridge crossing over it and the tree randomly in the middle of the pond), you can find various magikarp, level 1-100! :D Thus, I've come to a challenge: Make it on to the list by toppling off other members' scores and win userbars! My highest was 81 :] but my game shut off and it didn't save.. so technically, it's still 67 >_>' *Credits to Mooglizer for the idea below. To qualify, you must have CAUGHT it and must be sure of the level. No "I thinks" or anything of the sort. Read below for more details. TOP 3 NORMAL: Mooglizer - Level 100!!!* (That Sucks!!!*) KASEO - Level 99!!! (Perfect!!!) PlatinumDawnFtw- Level 94! (Great!) TOP 3 SHINY: ( )- Level __! ( ) ( )- Level __! ( ) ( )- Level __! ( ) How To Win A USERBAR: There's two "tier" lists for this challenge. "NORMAL" and "SHINY". To obtain a userbar for the Normal rank, you must catch a magikarp either level 99 or 100. The userbars will have a phrase for each achievement, respectively. For the Shiny rank, you have 4 chances of winning a userbar. Catching a shiny by fishing is an achievement worth celebrating itself, so you get a userbar for, in a way, "Participation". The level-specific challenges are much tougher. You must catch a magikarp either level 90-99, 100, or 1. The rankings above depict the level scores by the fishers. In no way does it convey the fact that Level 100 is the best score to aim for. In fact, if anything, it is most likely the worst... * to claim your userbar, you must provide proof !! photographic proof is the best, but you may provide statistics of the magikarp for last resort. Please try to send your magikarp to someone who can take the picture before posting the statistics in this thread. Thanks for your co-operation and taking "The Magikarp Challenge™" CURRENT USERBAR HOLDERS: Mooglizer (#1, Lv.100) Kaseo (#1, Lv.99) *If you see anyone else with these userbars that don't correspond with the number, level, or members listed above, please notify me! Thanks for reading! |
My highest was around level 84 I think.

:O -gasp- One rare candy = Lv.85 Gyarados.. [offtopic]And btw, Nintendo hates Canada not America. America always gets those events with those giant pikachu balloons and parades and they have a pokemon store and all this other stuff. Canada got lucky to get one event (out of the 5000 America had)[/offtopic] |
Mine was level seventy two

Gr. I thought it was a big catch when I saw the first Lv.66. And then I thoguht I was lucky when I caught the 67.. gahhh. Either way, I wish it were Feebas instead of Magikarp :D That would make EVERYONE's dreams come true. |
I never caught one, but my mouth DROPPED when I saw this level sixty-something Magikarp. That was so unexpected, and I CRACKED up! XDDDD;
|
First time I fished I saw an 87 I think it was.
Didn't bother catching it. |
Never noticed it. Never needed it anyway, I caught mine at level 3 on rout 204 or something and it does just fine, still neat. Are you sure it goes to lv 100?
|
My highest level was... 0! Haven't tried it yet but that sounds cool! Level 100 wow! Magikarp isn't worthless now! You can catch a Pokemon with a level higher then the god of all Pokemon and it's Magikarp! That's awesome! :) :) :) |
Mines was level 74...never found 100.... |
Lol, yeah I've noticed a couple weeks ago. I caught two level 75's, and a 79. I nicknamed them Alphakarp, Omegakarp, and Uberkarp. Btw, I think they have the best dex entry in Platinum. XD
|
There is just one thing. If you get a Lvl 100 Magikarp... can you evolve it? I think you need to get Lvl 99 or lower.
And, oh, I actually dont bother to get Magikarp, but thats cause I never heard of this xD |
Alright
-Rushes to the finish line with platinum- Nah, I wouldn't rush platinum just for the chance to get a level 100 magikarp. But the whole idea seems pretty cool. |
I haven't tried this yet, but I probably won't have to. I have a level 64 Gyarados that I'm happy with in my team as of now. ^_^
On second thought, maybe I'll try it for fun sometime. It would be rather humorous to reel in a level 100 Magikarp. |
My personal highest is 75, but I do hate it when you get a pretty high leveled Magikarp followed by a string of Magikarp that are in the 40s.
|
Personal high is level 84. Now a proud owner of a level 87 Gyarados.
|
The Almighty Magikarp
The highest level Magikarp I've ever caught was level 54ish.
How does one catch a wild level 100 Magikarp? :cer_eek: |
Quote:
Yeah that's annoying. After I caught my level 67, the rest were around 45 T-T Quote:
54? pretty low compared to the ones recorded here :P I'M not 100% sure if it goes up to level 100, but I looked around in the Plat. section of Serebii. At first, it seemed unbelievable to me as well, but once I first caught that 66 (The first time I ever used a rod in platinum ;) ), it became less dubious. Especially due to the fact that people are making claims of level 80s+ O_O' That would be awfully unfortunate if you caught a level 100 magikarp and the rest you find are in the 20s. It'll be a strong pokemon, Lv.100! But then again... it's a worthless magikarp with three moves. Especially due to the fact that a perfect level 100 Gyarados is taunting you... In actuality, I don't know how hard it is to catch a level 100. But it's still magikarp, keep that it mind. The catch ratio is still the same, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone caught it with a pokeball or a net ball on their first try.... |
I made a topic akin to this one, but I guess it died.
anyway I've actually got a Lv.98 Magikarp! I was hoping for 99, or 100 just to say I did, but IMO not unimpressive. ^^ |
Quote:
Oops didn't know.. At least it croaked before a new one was born. :P Well that's a ":(" for you, but anyway. Did you evolve it into a nice Lv.99 Gyarados? |
Not yet, and I'm not exactly sure why...
But it's fine about the topic. I am glad this came up afterward. I'd like to see if anyone could come up with a legit shiny in the 90s, of course that would be exceedingly difficult. I'll try tomorrow, maybe. |
I got mine at level 69, my Gyarados is sitting at about 82 now.
|
You could put the top 5 up on the first post and make a contest of it, waddya think?
|
Lvl. 99! XD Lmao no lies. So lucky. Perhaps better than the lvl 100.
|
I found a Magikarp level 72 :]
|
Added a Top 3 thanks to Mooglizer. Should I make this into a kind of challenge? Like reward a Level 100 Magikarp Userbar for your sig to the person who catches one? I'm also thinking about adding a top 3 for Shiny catches. This is EXTREMELY difficult to catch a shiny by fishing (no chaining) let alone getting a level 99 or 100. I might distribute Six kinds of userbars if the idea is accepted. And don't worry, I make nice userbars. If you don't believe me, look at the one in my sig [Made both] Anyway, the higher-ranked userbars might be animated, or normal rankings will stay flat and the Shiny catchers will get a special animated one, to reward there great capture ;P For the Normal Rankings: 1 - Level 100 Magikarp: It's useless now... Marvelous catch! 2 - Level 99 Magikarp: Perfect to get a mighty Gyarados!... Awesome catch! For the SHINY Ranking: 1 - Level 100 Shiny Magikarp: Useless, but shiny! UNBELIEVABLE! 2 - Level 90+ (99 is too difficult): Did your Super Rod break? LUCKY! 3 - Any Level Shiny: That must've been tough! RADICAL! (lmfao) 4 - Level 1 - Mama Gyarados ain't so happy.. THIEF! of course, those are just rough texts I came up with. They'll most likely be shorter. But yeah, I could seriously see some competition in the fishing world with some nice userbar prizes ;P Anyway, it's just a random recommendation. Now I'm off to try and catch a better magikarp! *reels in a shiny* |
I was fishing a few hours ago and got a level 94 one! Nice level 95 gyarados....
|
Most of you are lucky, level 90 something Gyrados in a day! That's just bulldonkeysh*t! |

Edit: Oh nevermind...you did read my post xD Edit #2 XP: Here's links to pics of the Magikarp summary http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/4351/cimg1535z.jpg http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/3866/cimg1536o.jpg |
Level... Well, Platinum freezes now, so I can't say. The highest I caught ever is lv. 19. Seen is lv. 21
|
^^ Um, yeah.. We're talking about the Magikarp in the Resort Area. If you're on the same page... well... Whoo boy.. Quote:
Well, you won't receive anything yet. No one voted if it was a good/bad idea yet :P Also, DawnFtw, i'll put you on. Btw, to any of you who are planning to lie, there's not really a point since it's just a top magikarp list :P |
Yeah, do the userbar thing.
'And you should make them have to give photo proof. |
Quote:
They could easily be hacked, though :L That's a problem I'm trying to foresee and counter. Especially with the shiny challenge... Oh well, if people are that desperate to make it look legit and be on the top list (and get one of my userbars! :D) then I guess there's nothing I can do if they have photographic proof, unless there's some way to check if it's been hacked or not and then proving it... and not hacking that proof. >_> Anyway, how bout they have to show proof if they want to apply for a spot in the rankings? For exanple, if they claim they caught a level 1 Shiny, they feel inclined to be rewarded the userbar, so they ask for there place on the top-list, and then show proof, otherwise just posting, saying that you caught whatever, won't get you anything. Sorry to the people who can't take a picture of it... Try to send it to someone trusthworthy who can take a picture. EDIT: Just beat my record (67) I caught a 73! Still puny, but meh. |
awesome! I'll get fishing! and, would it be all right if i post stats,poffin likes, etc.? I can't get screens...
My contest status is getting sigged. |
Quote:
Try to send it to someone who can take a picture. If not, then just list everything that's in the picutre above, posted by (insert person I forgot). Try to have it formatted the same way so it's easier to match-up... Anyway, I left my DS on when i went to the movies and didn't save. So now my record dropped back to 67... And I even caught a level 81 after it :( Shinies are hard for fishing. 1) No Chaining 2) No Indication if it's shiny or not so you won't know which magikarp not to reel in 3) basic 1/8000-something chance. 4) More buttons to press a.k.a - whipping out the fishing rod - pressing A at the right time As opposed to walking to a shiny patch of grass via P.Radar. Grrr. I'll make the U.Bs extra nice for anyone who manages to catch a shiny at the right level. |
Ooh...Magikarp Lv. 100...that would be awesome if someone found one! 8D I can just imagine the whole scene...
"A wild MAGIKARP appeared!" Aww, just a Magika-- OMGWTFBBQ LV. 100!?! *dies* XD I crack myself up sometimes. *shot* |
ok, let's see here...
MAGIKARP male, level 98 Rash Nature, Met at Resort Area at Lv.98, March 27th, 2009 Somewhat stubborn, likes dry food, HP:152 Attack:37 Defense:130 Special Attck: 46 Special Defense:60 Speed:180 |
Quote:
Well, when I actually decide to make the userbars, you can start giving the stats. Right now, it's kinda unnecessary :P |
Wootness max. I'm still in the lead, though I'd rather get the lvl 100 instead of a shiny
|
Quote:
are you high tall!??! Red Gyarados ftw!!!11!!. + Level100 magikarp = fail. You can't evolve it. You're stuck with the AMAZING moves called "Tackle, Flail" and.. *drumroll* S-P-L-A-S-H!!!!!! |
But...Splash attack is amazing. That's why it has it's own super awesome flash video
|
My friend got a level 1 the first time he fished. He was "happy". After a day or two, he got all the way up to catching a level 78.

And lol at the "are you tall!?" bit. It's the funny. |

I saw a level 70 something Magikarp and at first I though my game was extremely glitched until I went into my Pokemon guide book and it showed info about being able to catch a lv 100 magi, but Anyways is there only one level 100 magikarp or is there more then one?
:t354:TG |
Quote:
YOU A LIE! What level does it learn that!? With four moves... it might even make it into the exclusive Uber tier! :O! |
Cool I like the userbar idea a lot. Highest I caught was 69 :( saw a 70 but critical hit it and KO'd it. I'm gonna do more searching tomorrow though!
|
The biggest I caught was lv.85 and I saw a lv.97 but for some reason I didn't catch it >_<
|
Extra Extra!
I am now offically the pround owner of the stupidest level 100 pokemon on earth... You got it, a freshly caught, unevolved, untrained Lv100 Magikarp! Heck yes!
... ... ...aw, crap. Unevolved? :P |
Liez! Now I have to get shiny
|
lol I'm still looking for that l100 Magikarp...
(and I already bred the perfect Gyarados, so what's the point of fishing for a strong Magikarp?) |
Quote:
No one cares if you fish for a strong magikarp. they only care if you fishforastrongmagiakrpandbringprooftothisthread thatyoucaughtitsoyoucouldwinmyawesomeuserbars. _SIGH_ Anyway, great job mooglizer! I'll have to find the other person to replace your previous position now. joyyyy. ^_^' If you have proof ready, i'll be willing to start on the userbars (since, apparently, it's a good idea). By the way, the user bars might come a bit late since I have other stuff to do in the emulaton section.. But I'll try my best to multi-task. EDIT: It's now officially called "The Magikarp Challenge™" The ™ is just for aesthetics ;P Anyway, the post now details the actual rules and how to obtain the userbars, etc. Also, I have a solution for people who are going to just steal the userbars whence people wear them. I will add some kind of number code to each userbar I hand out, that way, they'll know if someone just copy-and-pasted it off someone ;) I have yet to figure out how to confirm if the Magikarp is hacked or not, however... |
Ok, I'll try something for the screens, but they'd still be pretty low quality... one moment...
|
Quote:
I'll hand you the UB as soon as you're ready. I'm done the Level 99 one. It looks really epic, but I don't know how to make it have a transparent background :S Every time I upload it onto PC, the background turns white. -sigh- any help? |
Uh, problemo.
How would one post a picture here? ^^''''' |
I just used imageshack and posted the links
|
the problem is I can't upload them from the desktop. I'm using Vista, if that makes much difference. (stupid Vista...)
I don't have an Imageshack or anything like that. Edit: when I hit Insert Image, it shows a box that says "webpage dialogue" but that's it. It's completely blank! |
Quote:
1) Go to Imageshack.us 2) Upload the file with "Browse..." 3) Check "Remove size resolution bar" and uncheck "resize image?" or whatever 4) Copy one of the links and paste it in yor browser 5) the image should be surrounded my ad's. Right click it and press "View Image" 6) Copy the URL and go back to PC and go to advanced post. 7) press the image icon (the mountains with the circle) and paste the link you got from "View Image" Also, i'm done level 99 and level 100. They're awfully nice :D But I still don't know how to do a transparent background when uploading them.. |
Ok, let's see...
http://img12.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=001jbi.jpg They're all low quality, I took them on my phone, but they should be legible. let's hope I'm not doing it wrong. :D |
I have received a Magikarp to the level 89 on the GTS, it was Hacked it had the IVs all to 31 and as trait Pure Power, is now a Gyarados level 100 that use for the Cheat Battle @ _ @
|
Quote:
*Ditto Transformed into Phoenix Wright! Phoenix Wright used OBJECTION!* 1) This is for CATCHING a Magikarp 2) Completely irrelevant, since this is biggest magiakrp ever CAUGHT, and it's a CHALLENGE, not the sinnoh journal v2. 3) This isn't the place to post that. 4) Cheat battle? 5) This isn't the GTS section T_T 6) Cheat battle? On a side note, Mooglizer and Kaseo, I'll give you the userbars tomorrow. They're complete.. Is it okay if it's kind of Circled like my Pokemon Saga: Umbra one (the borer)? I don't know how to do a transparent background and having a plain white rectangle is hideous. |
Yup yup anything is fine with me
|
Quote:
Sending it via PM to you and Mooglizer. You're lucky you're the first! :D Your UB's will proudly sport a nice "01". Uploading them to imageshack.. EDIT: Userbars sent to the winners (Mooglizer, Kaseo!) Congratiulations! |
Sweet action. Thanks so much. I'll try to figure out how to make transparency and than tell you
|
Quote:
Feel free to comment/rate/compliment it or make suggestions. :D Sorry for the no animation on the Normal userbars. Getting a shiny is a great feat by PokeRadar. Now put that into Fishing. Even tougher. Now put that into specific levels. near impossible. This is why I want to truly reward the dedicated fishers the best way I can. Animated userbars! But yeah, I hope the normal ranked ones are still appreciated and liked :D Thanks for participating Kaseo and Mooglizer! |
i caught a lvl 92 magikarp i thought it was pretty high but then i saw everyone elses so im fishing for a lvl 99 or even lvl 100
|
Alright, I love it!
Thank you, Penumbra! |
Quote:
Thanks :P The Userbar designer site and Paint program is all I need :) I'm sorry for the ugly border and background. I don't know how to make transparent background (yet... hopefully), so the box border was the best solution. Even if I tried a rounded rectangle, the edges would still be white, which is even uglier :X I'll try to find a way to make a transparent background and I'll re-send you it if I ever get the chance.. Also, if you think those are nice, just way for the shinies... P.S: Should I keep the back-frame pokemon? (ie: Gyarados and the back magikarp?) Is the slashed thing nice? any opinions or suggestions? This is the best time to do it so I can change it before any body else wins an award :P |
Quote:

Quote:
Yes, because you can get shot down for owning pokemon platinum! Good idea ;) Anyway, my friend is transparent-ifying the backgrounds (hopefully). so let's be wishful that it turns out all right :D |
What's a User Bar???
Well, you have a great idea in putting challenges... :) I'll try it! Still, I'm not yet at the resort... I had just started my game and in Jubilee City... (i recently bought my Platinum... I wish i had just ordered it)... but i promise I'm gonna be there before you can say "Fried Magikarp" :) P.S. = I think i would only catch a level 99... That sucks... |
Userbars are just small signatures that usually show you're a fan of something, but in this case, what kind of magikarp you caught for this contest.
And don't read my previous posts, there's nothin wrong with the lvl 99. It's awesome for an easy Gyarados, though I kept mine as magikarp. |
Quote:
I should have added "Winner" somewhere in there, but then the Magikarp/Gyarados would be pushed to the far side and extend the ugly boundaries + the uglier white background. I heard you could use that Paint.NET program for transparent background, but there's too many buttons O_O' Also, someone make this thread alive and catch a shiny! :P |
Mine was Lv. 69 Lol
|
Shiny And it's up for trade!! Level 69 (Don't ask how that happened but it did)
Shouldn't you ask for proof?? Seems just anyone could say 'Oooh eem effin Gee i caught a level 100 Shineee!1!!!1!!" no? Edit* Didn't notice the photo proof thing!! xD I will provide photos soon Here they are http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu99/IGavZI/10072009074.jpg http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu99/IGavZI/10072009076.jpg Sorry about the size eeep |
I've tried so many times to catch a high level magikarp, but all I ever get is levels 50s.
Its kinda dissapointing.. |
I caught one at level 80. It has horrible stats though unfortunately. It's still cool b/c if I evolve it I can trade it on wifi. ^_^
|
I found a lv 87 and caught it
I've seen a level 97 but it fainted |
2 XD i hate my self now!!!!
|
A week ago i found one at level 91 and i caught it but when i fished again i just found one at level 52
PS:Now i have a level 98 gyarados!!! |
I've been hunting for the ruler ever since I found this thread. XD Highest level so far has been 74. >_>
|
ive got one level 77 on my 5th try :)
