Magikarp. It's been the perennial punchline throughout the Pokémon series, but the buck stops now.

It was thought that the Pokémon that's weak AF and can't do much more than a "splash" attack; but its (unofficial) Twitter account is pretty excellent at throwing shade to all the haters out there.

Take a dude on Twitter complaining of getting a Magikarp from an egg on Pokémon Go, after walking for 2 kilometres trying to hatch it. He got burnt. Hard.

Yeah, Magikarp on Twitter isn't too happy about those jokes you've been having at its expense. You'd better watch out when it evolves.

When I evolve I swear to god I'm gonna kill you all — Magikarp The Fish (@Magikarp_Fish) July 31, 2016

Also you shouldn't flinch when it comes to catching a Magikarp. It wants all your Pokéballs.

But maybe in the end, it's just a Pokémon that wasn't destined for greatness.

Trying to evolve. It's not working out. — Magikarp The Fish (@Magikarp_Fish) August 2, 2016

That's why there is a Japanese song dedicated to how useless the Pokémon is.

Useless, but loveable. Right?

It's good to see Magikarp standing up for itself, even if it can't actually stand.
