Build Up Your JP
Jump Power, or JP as Magikarp Jump labels it, is the stat that players will need to pay attention to in Magikarp Jump. Basically, the amount of JP that your Magikarp has determines how high it can jump. Since the main goal of the game is to jump high, you’ll want to focus on building this JP up by feeding your Magikarp, completing random events, and training.

Get Support Pokemon
Magikarp isn’t the only Pokemon that makes an appearance in Magikarp Jump. In fact, early on in the game you’ll acquire another well-known Pokemon, Pikachu, which will introduce you to Support Pokemon. After a certain amount of time, these special Pokemon can help your Magikarp grow, by giving them more JP. You can build up your Support Pokemon by earning Friendship Items, which are obtained by winning leagues or by purchasing them from the Diamond Shop.
Know Your Currency
Like many other free to play games, Magikarp Jump offers quite a few different currencies for players to get used to. The first, and most basic currency, are Coins. These easy to obtain items are mostly used for purchasing new foods and training types. They’re usually awarded for taking part in jump battles (you get them when you win or lose) as well as for completing achievements, which are listed in the Menu.
Diamonds are a much harder to obtain item, and they’ll be used to specialty items like Decorations. While you can get Diamonds through normal gameplay, the best way to get them is to simply purchase them from the in-game store.
Support Candies are the final piece of currency you’ll need to be accustomed to. These items are most often awarded by winning leagues, like the Quick League, and they can be used to increase your Support Pokemon’s rank, allowing them to help your Magikarp out more.
