the worst cards, hand down, are:
Magikarp (base set): Has the worst HP you could have, attacks were a waste as it got easily knocked out by almost every other Pokemon is base set and still this card was called an uncommon (that's like calling Supreme Victors Arcanine the rarest card ever).
Magikarp (Team Rocket): OK, you'd think that Pokemon might of made Magikarp at least a little better but no, this card is some how worse. It still has the worst HP and somehow, it's attacks suck even worse than the last. It's first attack is the same but it's second attack requires 3 energy just to search your deck for it's evolution. This attack couldn't and probably wouldn't be used because you'd either have a somewhat consistent deck or you got KOed before you even got close to that energy cost (probably you'd get KOed). Another bad thing is that this card, was again, uncommon.
Giovanni's Magikarp (Gym Challenge): This is messed up. Giovanni would NEVER be caught, dead with a Magikarp, especially one that sucks so bad. First attack is OK, since it does 40 damage, it might KO your opponent's active Pokemon but you get tails nothing happens and you use the attack, you can never use it again. It's second attack sucked as you had to flip 3 coins for 2 energy, just trying to get a maximum damage of 30.
Misty's Magikarp (Gym Challenge): Like Giovanni, Misty would either, evolve it to a Gyarados or, if it couldn't evolve, she would kill it. In a battle between Misty's and Giovanni's Magikarp, Giovanni's would splash it to death. It's first attack it probably won't ever get to use because it'll being doing the real version of it T2.It's second attack is the usual, horrible attack every Magikarp has that does 10 damage.
Shining Magikarp (Neo Revelation): This card was the best Magikarp released so far but it could only be really used in a deck that uses psychic energy, you could only play one of it and it was somehow a ultra rare instead of an uncommon. It's first attack is like celebrating with your opponent just before he kills your shiny Magikarp. It's second attack was actually, pretty good for a Magikarp but unfortunely, you needed a psychic energy to use it.
Magikarp (Expedition): OK nothing's different about this card other than the fact this card only has one attack that's exactly like Giovanni's Magikarps's second attack. Another bad thing about this card is the fact, it's an Ereader and that no one in their right mind would scan every Magikarp they got from their booster box (probably like something around 50 Magikarps) into their games.
Magikarp (Skyridge): I really like the art on this card as it shows what should of happened to Magikarp but unfortunely didn't happen. This Magikarp had the better version of the Magikarp from the Team Rocket's attack as it only needs one energy now but unfortunely you needed to flip. It's second attack is just amazing. Splash does nothing in the games but here, it decides to do 10 damage. Just amazing.
Magikarp (EXDragon): This card had the potential to be a playable card but like all Magikarp, it decided to fail instead. First attack seems hopeless but when looking at the second attack, you think, "if this attack was one energy less, it might be good to play". And now the sad, sad line of bad Magikarps continues.
Magikarp (EX FireRed & LeafGreen): OK, what the hell, most Magikarps could do 10 damage for 1 energy and no recoils but this one can do 10 damage for 1 energy but now, this card can fail doing a simple 10 damage attack. It's second attack is for evolving itself but this time, without the coins flips or messed up energy cost but they decided that since they weren't going to put the flip or messed up energy cost on it, they were going to up the cost, which makes it even worse.
Magikarp (EX Team Rocket Returns): This card was the best Magikarp ever made and if you put it in your water deck (yes this one was actually playable), you would want to start with it as it was a pretty good starter back then and it lived through your opponent's turn, you could easily retreat it to avoid giving your opponent a prize.
Magikarp (EX Deoxys): Nothing to say about this card as it sucked as bad as most Magikarp.
Magikarp (EX Holon Phantoms): What was the point of making this one a steel type if they didn't even change the weakness and it's not like this card is going to be able to attack a Pokemon with a steel weakness before it dies.
Magikarp (Mysterious Treasures) This card does the most damage of every Magikarp released but it was pretty much unusable as you had to get 2 heads, you needed 2 energy and it still had 30HP.
Magikarp (Storm Front): Another Magikarp that could be used as a started but was just that little bit worse. It costed no energy and you could end up drawing quite a few cards and the only thing that would happen when it got KOed is that you're opponent would take a prize.
Magikarp (Supreme Victors): This card would never make you a supreme victor because it was just another flailing Magikarp with 30HP.
Magikarp (HeartGold SoulSilver): This is pretty much the original version of Magikarp, only this time, this thing different is that this thing only has 10HP when up against an an electric type and started the line of T1 loss Magikarp.
Magikarp (Call of Legends): The fact that Pokemon decided to reprint this card means that they were desperate or the entire company decided to get drunk when deciding the last 2 cards they should reprint.
Magikarp (Dragons Exalted): This card would of been good 10 years ago.
These cards are the worst cards cards ever made as even their evolution, Gyarados, sucked. Lets hope Pokemon doesn't decide to continue the streak of having 2-3 different Magikarp per format.
