Source-derived summary

Pokémon: Magikarp Jump (Japanese: はねろ!コイキング, Hepburn: Hanero! Koiking; Splash! Magikarp) is a free-to-play mobile game developed by Select Button and published by the Pokémon Company. It was released in May 2017 for iOS and Android platforms. Players train Magikarp for competition in jumping contests.

To progress in the game, players must increase their Magikarp's jump height through several methods of training, upgrading training equipment, and eating berries. In total, there are ten different core leagues plus three additional Expert leagues with varied rewards as of August 2017.

Gameplay

In the game, trainers can raise their Magikarp's Jump Power (JP) to have more jumping height than other Magikarps to win special Battle Leagues. The higher the JP a Magikarp has, the higher the Magikarp can jump and win a battle.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Pokémon: Magikarp Jump”, the useful work is to connect “2017 video game” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30137651. None of the 3 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
