As players traverse their communities looking for Pokemon, they will come across a Magikarp like normal. So how do gamers catch a Shiny Magikarp or Shiny Gyarados? Here’s Game Rant’s guide to catching a Shiny Magikarp in Pokemon GO.Īt the moment, the only way to catch a Shiny Magikarp or Shiny Gyarados in Pokemon GO is to search out these Pokemon as players would for a normal Magikarp or Gyarados. It was the first Shiny Pokemon available in the series, so it makes sense that Niantic would choose to make Magikarp and Gyarados the first Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO. In Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, players could search out a special, shiny Magikarp at the Lake of Rage. Why wouldn’t Niantic opt for something a little more iconic, such as Charmander or Pikachu? Interestingly, the answer to that question comes from way back from the days of Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. The new shiny version of the water Pokemon hasn’t yet been officially acknowledged by Niantic, but multiple sightings from players, as well as pictures shared online by Pokemon GO players, confirm its existence.įor those new to Pokemon GO, it may be confusing why a random Pokemon like a Magikarp and its evolution, Gyarados, would be the first chosen for Shinies. Now that the March update for Pokemon GO is available, players are on the hunt for one of the most notable additions: a Shiny Magikarp.
