As an ancient god that once walked this land, pokemon will tremble in fear from magikarps wrath. With assistance from geopass or smashpass smeargle, magikarp has sweeping potential like no other. After 3 geomancys magikarp has an astounding 564 special attack, and combined with a choice specs that's 846 special attack to crush those puny garchomps and talonflames. Of course magikarp does have a primal revision that game freak is too scared to release in fear that it may be game breaking, so strong that it would walk out of the DS and go on a rampage destroying downtown Tokyo. Magikarp is advised to also have some boosts in defense because of all the priority attacks running around in OU but this is not needed, as magikarp is actually a defensive monster with a base stat of 55, it's best only after it's lightning speed of 80. Here are some calculations thar are very relevant this meta

This is just a small peek of magikarps true potential as a sweeper. It's potential is meta breaking and tier defining, and the counters to that set are countered by the flail set. After a scolopiede dances with its blade 3 times and then baton passes away to out powerhouse, we are almost ready to go. Here is where we welcome a hit from the opponents pokemon, bringing us down to our focus sash, to unleash the true power of the ancient gods. Crushing its enemies with flail magikarp now has a base 200 attack with an astounding 520 in its attack stat. At this point magikarp is strong enough to sweep ubers teams,and punish any puny Chansey thrown in front of it, and you better not get in its way because this divine creature is looking for blood, and like indigo Montoya once said, prepare to die... That is, at the hands of the mighty and powerful magikarp.
