Magikarp, the 'Fish Pokémon,' has been a staple of internet humor since the early days of the Pokémon franchise. Known primarily for its signature move, Splash—which famously 'does nothing'—Magikarp represents the ultimate underdog. The meme typically plays on the irony of its perceived uselessness compared to its powerful evolution, Gyarados, or highlights the absurdity of its struggle. Whether it is being used to describe someone trying their best with zero results or a hidden powerhouse waiting to be unleashed, the Magikarp meme remains a beloved symbol of persistence and the humor found in futility.
