Analysis

Splash is the crux of the set because, let's face it, if you wanted to actually do damage you would've picked a different Pokemon. With the given EV spread, Magikarp hits 18 Speed and outspeeds enough of the metagame to show off just how small its damage output is before promptly getting OHKOed. Bounce carries a paralysis chance, which works well with Bright Powder. Bright Powder is so your opponent misses all their attacks while slowly tearing their hair out which is funny because, hey, you're cooler than them. You, my friend, are using a Magikarp. Interestingly, this set sees little competitive use.
