Your task as the player is to catch Magikarp and then train them to jump the highest. That involves feeding it berries, training it in a number of different ways and then having it compete at the jumping league.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z8dan7B1pFY?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s adorable and fun, and free to play (with in-app purchases), so check it out if you\u2019re a fan of the series.
