Hey Bill, do Magikarp have any Natural Predators in the Wild? I ask because I recently saw a Dragonair eating what i think were Smallmouth Bass and began wondering about Predator-Prey Relations in the pokemon world.

Magikarp’s natural predator is everything. Or nearly everything. Humans don’t eat it because there’s not much meat to it, and it takes a particularly strong set of claws, teeth, or attacks (or a particularly hard rock) to get past magikarp’s scales. But it can be done, and practically everything that considers itself a predator might eat magikarp if they’re looking for an easy meal.

It’s actually one of the reasons why gyarados are so notoriously angry and vicious when they evolve.
