I know what a lot of you guys are thinking. You don't have a lot of respect for a fish that does nothing but splash about. Even when it learns Tackle, it is still barely useful. Despite that, though, if you are able to put up with the orange pile of deadweight, it'll evolve into a vicious dragon that chews almost any opponent up and spits out the bones! That reason is enough for me to respect Magikarp.
Until about a year ago, I never raised a Gyarados from a Magikarp in any old school Pokémon game. I attempted to, but I never got a lot of success. Previous attempts to raise a Magikarp came from using the Magikarp I caught with an old rod, but the lucky fish that became a mighty beast was actually purchased from that shady guy in the Pokémon Center at the foot of Mt. Moon. I didn't want to at first, but since I heard that it would guarantee me a powerful ally early, I gave it as shot. It was tough to do, but I actually got my Magikarp to evolve after completing a battle with my rival on the Nugget Bridge. I gotta say that it was worth it!
Anyone else had the patience to obtain a Gyarados that way?
