Magikarp

Diamond
It is said to be the world’s weakest Pokémon. No one knows why it has managed to survive.
Pearl
It is unable to swim against even slow-moving currents. It always splashes about for some reason.
Platinum
A MAGIKARP living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash. The move remains useless, though.
