Last updated
Ever wondered how to snag that striking Red Gyarados in Pokemon GO? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into the world of shiny Pokemon and figure out how you can get your hands on one.
So, you want to catch a Red Gyarados in Pokemon GO? Well, you’ve come to the right place for tips on how to find one of these rare gems.
Spotting a Shiny Red Gyarados
First off, what’s the deal with a Red Gyarados? This Pokemon is a shiny variant of the regular Gyarados, which means it’s super rare and has a distinct red color instead of its usual blue. Catching a shiny Pokemon like this is a highlight for many players.
To catch a Red Gyarados, you’ll need patience and a bit of luck. Shiny Pokemon, including Gyarados, pop up randomly in the wild, during certain events, or in raids. There isn’t a guaranteed spot to find them, so you’ll have to keep an eye out whenever you’re playing. Remember, the thrill of the hunt is part of what makes catching a Red Gyarados so rewarding!
Boost Your Chances
While encountering a Red Gyarados is down to chance, you can boost your odds. Participate in events that increase shiny rates, focus on Gyarados raids, and always catch Magikarp (since they can evolve into Gyarados). Being active during Community Days or special events where shiny rates are boosted is a great strategy!
Another tip is to team up with friends. Not only does it make the hunt more fun, but you can also cover more ground and alert each other to any shiny sightings. Plus, battling in raids together increases your chances of encountering a shiny Gyarados.
