Player Wins Pokémon League With a Single Magikarp

One guy just did, he defeated Gym Leaders, the Elite Four AND the rival character with a single Magikarp in the Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen game!


As seen in the video, s/he used a Lvl. 100 Magikarp with the moves Tackle and Flail in its arsenal. During the times the Magikarp lacked PP, the Pokémon used the move Struggle. Oh, and s/he used a lot of items to make the Magikarp stronger.

Even if that is the case, this guy did what most Pokémon trainers think is the impossible. Kudos to you Meikachuchu, you made us believe that this fish can do great things... aside from evolving into a Gyrados of course.
