So, you’re on a quest to add the magnificent Red Gyarados to your collection in Pokemon GO. How exactly do you achieve this? Keep reading to find out!
Spotting the Shiny Red Gyarados
First off, the Red Gyarados is a shiny variant of the regular Gyarados, which means your main task is to find a shiny Magikarp and evolve it. Shiny Magikarps are caught just like any other Pokemon – by exploring the world around you and keeping your eyes peeled for that distinct golden hue that signifies a Magikarp is shiny.
Once you’ve caught a shiny Magikarp, you’ll need 400 Magikarp candies to evolve it into the majestic Red Gyarados. Patience is key, as finding a shiny Magikarp can be a game of luck, but persisting in areas where Magikarps are plentiful increases your chances.
