Magikarp is a Water-type Pokémon (National Dex #129) with a low stat total of 200. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Legends: Z-A, Sword & Shield, BDSP, Legends: Arceus and Let's Go, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Speed at 80, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. Attack and Special Attack sit close together, so it can run either a physical or a special set depending on what your team needs. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.

Defensively, Magikarp takes super-effective damage from Electric, Grass. It resists Fire, Water, Ice, Steel. Its ability options are Swift Swim, Rattled, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Magikarp evolves into Gyarados (20). You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.

In-game, Magikarp has 221 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (63), Legends: Z-A (16), Sword & Shield (36), BDSP (62), Legends: Arceus (6), Let's Go (38) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Scarlet & Violet, BDSP, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Magikarp ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
