The KARP

You will be given a HM magikarp from James in Petalburg Woods. He will not let you pass until you accept.

  • You are allowed to use the magikarp as a battle resource. Swapping is permitted.

  • Your main Pokemon must start each battle.

  • If you evolve your magikarp (lvl.20), you will be awarded 2x Large XP Candies.

  • HM moves are universally teachable to your HM friend (Magikarp or its evolutions); they can be used freely in battle by this mon.

  • HM moves cannot be taught to any other species directly.

  • HM moves are allowed if learned through other means, like the Forgetfulness curse.

  • HM moves are allowed to be used in battle if they have not been directly taught, such as through Metronome.

Revive note: Revives are treated as being in the other items category. You may only use one if you unlock from a prize roll. If you obtain a legal Revive, you use it by selecting your it in your bag after your mon has fainted, and your HM Karp has been swapped into battle. As such, your HM friend should always be with you if you have one. If your HM Karp is fainted, you will have forfeited your ability to use a Revive for that Segment. You are limited to ONE HM friend, and owning ONE revive item per run.
