Magikarp, known as the Pokémon franchise's least impressive Pocket Monster, has had a few chances to shine lately. A Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon player beat the game with a single Magikarp in November. The alternate-world carp also inspired its own official theme song last July.
Pokémon fans who love or loathe the monster can now chow down on a sweet version of Magikarp. The Yokohama Kurikoan taiyaki (fish-shaped cake) shop's Yokohama Nishiguchi, Minato Mirai, Akihabara, and Kichijōji locations are offering Magikarp taiyaki filled with "fluffy custard." The sweets debuted on Saturday and cost 191 yen (about US$2).
