Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.
HP printed on the 44 Magikarp cards that carry one. The typical card is 30 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 30 and 30 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.

The largest printed damage number on each of the 35 Magikarp cards that print one. The typical card hits for 10. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.

Standard and Expanded are the two tournament formats. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year while the card itself does not change.
Each track is the whole of the 44 Magikarp cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.
The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.
| Group | Share | Value |

How Magikarp compares with the other Pokémon
"Which Pokémon is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.
Ranked by its single dearest card, Magikarp is number 22 of 206 Pokémon, on Team Up #161 at $861.78. By card count it is number 35, and by the price of an ordinary card number 78 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".
