Why can't I pull off a magikarp sweep?

Jan. 25, 2017



Ive watched PIMPNITE’s videos and tried to imitate his magikarp sweep, so I bred for an adamant, 31 iv on attack and speed magikarp. I maxed out its attack and speed ev too.

Then on the battle I set up stealth rock and got smeargle to pass belly drum to my magikarp. So after getting hit and survivong with 1 hp because of focus sash I used flail. But the problem is the flail didnt do much damage. And wasn’t even able to OHKO anything, my opponent didn’t even set up defensively.

Am I missing something here?

Sadly magikarp just doesn’t have the stats or the move pool for a sweep. Its sad that such an awesome (and hated) Pokemon cant sweep. but hey at least the shiny is good
