I only have 247 tiny Ratatas. I caught a lot more of those than Magicarp and don’t have that badge either.

Tiny Rat was the very last of the orgional medals to Gold and was only completed the same month Trading came in. I had heaps of friends that completed that one by Trading them and I had to do it the hard way still.

I never really paid attention as to whether my Magikarp or Ratata was big or little. Guess that might be why I still don’t have either badge.

Yes, there’s a canal that runs parallel to the town and a stream that runs through the town. I actually catch more water-type than normal-type.

The Silph Road did some studying that included big magikarp & also tiny rattata
The conclusion: The probability for getting a tiny Rattata is 11.7% and for large Magikarp it’s 14.6%.
I’m on this: 208 caught. 35 are big. That is 16.8%

I still don’t know how to do it… more than 100 CP to be big? Than they have count bad my captures.
You know those useless stats pokemon have? Like weight and height? Weight is the one for these. When a Magikarp is big a small and blue ‘xl’ is noted above the weight. It has nothing to do with cp/level.
SO the only thing you can do i catch em all. There is no way of knowing before hand, unless you let some1 else do the catching and checking

I’m pretty sure it goes by size of Magicarp caught.
