Obligatory.
In all seriousness, if I'm going to raise a magikarp to a gyrados I might as well put my magikarp in the first slot of my party, have the rest of my party be all high leveled pokemon, and train against high leveled pokemon by switching magikarp out with something more powerful and rely on EXP sharing.
It's a hassle to just use magikarp... unless you want to waste time relying on splash for the first 15 or so levels so it can learn tackle. Just fish out a level 100 magikarp.
