How to Catch a Gyarados in Pokémon GO

Last updated
Ever wondered how to find a Gyarados in Pokémon GO? Let’s dive into that quest together!
Finding a Gyarados in Pokémon GO is not as straightforward as catching most other Pokémon, but with the right strategy, you can add this powerful Water/Flying-type Pokémon to your collection.
Quick Steps to Find Gyarados
To catch a Gyarados, your best bet is to look around water bodies like rivers, lakes, and oceans. Gyarados, being a Water-type Pokémon, often pops up in these areas. Also, keep an eye out for special events hosted by Niantic, as they frequently increase spawn rates for rare Pokémon, including Gyarados.
Another method involves evolving a Magikarp. Gyarados is the evolved form of Magikarp, which requires 400 Magikarp candies to evolve. This might sound daunting, but it’s entirely doable by catching lots of Magikarps, especially during events that increase their spawn or give double candy rewards.
