The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
Okay. What are you looking for?
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.I think the sought trope is "A character with Magikarp Power, who when awakened, becomes a Game-Breaker."
My name is Freezer and my anti-drug is porn.Doesn't seem like a distinct trope as much as a combination of the two tropes already stated. No reason it can't be both.
^^Except there's basically a time limit on their Game-Breaker status. Because they max out lower, their rapid growth eventually ceases to be useful and they may even fall back behind.
A variant of Overrated and Underleveled (The Magikarp Power boost is eventually overcome), then?
My name is Freezer and my anti-drug is porn.
A character displays Magikarp Power, starting weak, but rocketing ahead of others, but plateaus lower than other characters, essentially becoming a Crutch Character late in the game. The clearest example I can think of is Donnel from Fire Emblem: Awakening
