[SET COMMENTS]
Well, the first serious magikarp set is born! With swift swim and hydro pump, magikarp is actually a decent rain sweeper. Although some pokemon can also do that, magikarp is the fastest among them, allowing it to spend more EVs on bulk. Since you will be always using hydro pump, specs is of course your best option. 36 Spe allow you to outspeed scarf diglett in the rain. Moreover, many LC pokemon such as vullaby and rhyhorn can learn rain dance, so it's not so hard to set up the rain. However, it's poor movepool makes it has no cover to dragons and grasses and other waters, so make sure your other team members can handle them. In addition your hydro pump may miss if your opponent is lucky, so keep that in mind. :3

Magikarp is not going to be approved. Note that this set is objectively inferior to a Goldeen running a set with 196 Def / 156 SpA / 92 Spe and a Timid nature to hit the exact same Defense, Special Attack, and Speed numbers alongside more HP and Special Defense plus the option to use a move other than Hydro Pump. Magikarp does not have a viable niche in LC.

Locking this.
