Catching a Shiny Magikarp in Pokémon Violet? It's all about patience and a bit of luck! First, you gotta keep an eye out for those sparkly swirls indicating a Pokémon encounter; that's where Shiny Magikarp can appear. Don't forget to use the Shiny Charm if you've got it, as it boosts your shiny encounter rates. Also, the Masuda Method is your friend when breeding for shinies. Get a Magikarp from a game language different from yours and breed away. The more you hatch, the higher your chances. Happy hunting!

Good news, shiny hunters! Caught my Shiny Magikarp yesterday after 1234 encounters. The key? Persistence and the Shiny Charm. Also, try chaining encounters; felt like it helped, even if it's just a placebo.

Honestly, just fish a lot. Shiny Magikarp is rare but pops up eventually if you keep trying.
