Evolution
2 stages
Magikarp
GyaradosEvolves into Gyarados at level 20.
Evolve now or wait
from the game's learnsets and the relearner ruleMagikarp evolves at level 20. Evolving then forfeits 1 move that Magikarp would still learn: Flail at 30. Gyarados learns 7 moves of its own after that: Dragon Rage at 25, Leer at 30, Twister at 35, Hydro Pump at 40, Rain Dance at 45, Dragon Dance at 50, Hyper Beam at 55.
| Move you would forfeit | Level | Can you get it back? |
|---|---|---|
| Flail | 30 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Gyarados this move is gone. |
Rule the game applies: the Move Relearner on Two Island (he takes two Tiny Mushrooms or one Big Mushroom) teaches only the level-up moves of the form you hand him, at or below its current level. Delaying an evolution costs the evolved form's higher base stats for every level you wait; a move you barely use is not worth that.
