Recommended Videos

The Pokémon Company previously teased a new smartphone game that’s all about Magikarp and with the game releasing tomorrow we now know a lot more about the title made for Magikarp lovers.

 

Splash! Magikarp is a game that features Magikarp as the protagonist, and your goal is to help it train so that it can “Splash” higher than any other Magikarp out there. As you train your Magikarp with Eye of the Tiger in loop, you’ll come across various events as well as some familiar Pokémon.

The game takes place in a place called “Hop Town,” a town where everyone loves Magikarps. Hop Town has a special league where Magikarps compete by seeing which one can Splash the highest.

Becoming the best Splasher requires serious training as well as serious eating to go for the Splash gains. You’ll need to make sure your Magikarp is eating and training well in order for it to be at the top of its Splash game.

This event is called “Old Rod” and it shows Magikarp encountering a snack with a message saying “It looks like eating this will provide an instant power-up, but I also have a bad feeling about it…”
