You Can Now Catch Shiny Magikarp and Gyrados In Pokemon GO

Alongside The Water Festival which is now taking place in Pokemon GO, you can now catch a Shiny Magikarp and Shiny Gyrados.

During the festival which runs until March 29th, you’ll be able to see more spawns of Magikarp, Squirtle, Totodile and other water Pokemon. Johto water Pokemon are also more likely to appear where you’d expect them.

If that wasn’t enough for you, you can also get a brand new Magikarp hat for your avatar.
