Pokemon Korea has just unveiled one of the most anticipated cards of its 30th-anniversary celebrations: the Magikarp promo 040/M-P, an exclusive promotional card given away only during the Pokemon Mega Festa 2026 in Seoul. Following in the footsteps of last year's Metamong Project phenomenon, the 040/M-P is shaping up to be the collector banger of the year for Korean TCG fans.
Magikarp promo 040/M-P: a card built for collectors
The Magikarp promo 040/M-P features Magikarp in a spectacular composition: the Pokemon leaps at the center of the artwork, surrounded by Gyarados, Psyduck, a shiny Magikarp, and Pikachu. The "MEGA" stamp printed on the illustration confirms its status as the official Mega Festa 2026 promo.
Details visible on the official artwork:
- Card number: 040/M-P
- Set: Promo (M-P) — Mega Festa 2026

Following the 2025 Metamong success story
If you followed last year's Metamong Project, you know how quickly these Korean promo cards become impossible to find. Mega Festa exclusives end up trading on the secondary market at several times their original value, driven by a fast-growing global community of Korean TCG collectors.
The Magikarp Mega Festa 2026 card ticks every collector's box:
- Geo-limited distribution (Seoul only)
- Time-limited distribution (May 2026)
- Unknown but restricted print run
- Event-specific MEGA stamp
- Exclusive artwork featuring multiple iconic Pokemon
Mega Festa 2026: a large-scale event
The Pokemon Mega Festa 2026 will take place in May 2026 across Seoul to celebrate the franchise's 30th anniversary. The event brings together seven official experiences:
- Pokemon Run 2026
- Pokemon Sports Day 2026
- Pokemon Secret Forest
- Metamong Playground
- Pokemon 30th Anniversary Party
- Pokemon GO Seoul Stamp Rally (Magikarp 040/M-P card distribution)
