Getting a red Gyarados in Pokemon GO might seem like a daunting task, but with the right know-how, you’re closer than you think to making that shiny splash in your Pokedex.
Spotting the Shiny Red Gyarados
First off, the red Gyarados is a special, shiny version of the regular Gyarados. Now, what’s the secret sauce to finding one? It’s all about the shiny Magikarp. Yes, you heard that right! Your journey to the red Gyarados starts with finding a shiny Magikarp.
Shiny Magikarp occasionally pops up in the wild. The key is to catch as many Magikarp as possible. Each catch carries a tiny chance of being shiny. Once you’ve got your shiny Magikarp, you just need to gather enough candies to evolve it into the majestic red Gyarados. Remember, it takes 400 Magikarp candies to evolve, so keep catching!
