What is a High CP Magikarp?

A high CP Magikarp can be considered one with a CP value close to its maximum, which is 310 CP in Pokémon GO, and can be achieved when the Magikarp is at level 35 and weather boosted by Rainy weather, with perfect 15/15/15 IV values resulting in a 255 CP at level 35. To give a clearer picture, a level 30 Magikarp with perfect IVs can have a maximum CP of 235, indicating that any Magikarp with a CP approaching or exceeding this value can be considered high CP, especially when considering its potential for evolution into Gyarados.
