If you evolve a Shiny Magikarp in Pokémon GO, the Gyarados it evolves into will also be Shiny. You can witness this phenomenon in the official clip below. Shiny Magikarp are extremely rare, so pay close attention to the Magikarp you encounter while you’re out exploring the world to make sure you don’t miss the opportunity to catch one. In addition, you can’t tell if a Magikarp is Shiny from the game map – so be sure to click on it to find out for sure.
