My first, too. I learn everything pokemon from my son. lol

Mega evolution is introduced in Gen 6. Basically, it’s like a temporary, super-power-up form. It can have different types than the base mon. So, for Gyarados, Mega Gyarados will be a dual dark-water type, thus, making bite and hydropump both STAB.

You can read more about Mega here (many other sites cover it as well):

Don’t know how to put Picts but I got 1( about time ) there were 3 in 1 spot and the 1st two were ok 154 cp 136 or close to that and both were strong good iv’s tapped the 3rd and there is was a 80cp 55% shiney carp I was bummed but I still evolved it to get a 1388 shiney with bite outrage , it still works as good as my 95% kinda but I am great full for it I was feeling left out when I have caught over 2000 magikarp and no jackpots but I won the lottery I guess ! I signed out and my son caught 3 also but no shiney just a 88.9% magikarp man I was close .

Still none for me…probably caught 600+ since they were released and still nothing

I’ve tried everything, just unlucky I guess.

Congrats, I haven’t even seen a pikachu since the increased spawns wearing the ash hat, so my odds of getting a shiny are pretty low I think.

That’s been my experience.

My wife caught hers after her first solo raid and barely enough to evolve a regular Gyarados, perfect IV also.

It is just luck I’m afraid.

From what I could work out Shiny Magikarp was released in the game March 24 during the Water Event.
I started a count down to catch my Shiny Magikarp April 25.
From April 25 to today its’s been 143 Days and I’d caught 563 Magikarp with no Shiny.
Finally #564 end up being a Shiny.

I hope the Shiny Yellow Turd is found quicker :smirk:

Jajajajaja, NO, I don’t think that this is the solution… you will have more money, maybe I have a shiny… but I think it’s better I wait for my lucky moment…

Your time will come, especially considering all these new special events over Europe and the Hallowe’en event coming soon.

That’s what I hope… The problem is that you will gain as well. So I will catch something to advance my position, but you as well, so at the end you will be as far of me as ytou are in this moments…

There will always be those ahead of you, just like @Thorend is ahead of me.
