‘Pokemon GO’ Will Still Make Shiny Magikarp Available, Other Shiny Pokemon Could Likely Make Appearances As Well

The Water Festival of "Pokemon GO" has already come to an end, but fans who still haven't caught a shiny Magikarp or shiny Gyarados can still do so as Niantic is still making this Pokemon available. This development hints that more shiny Pokemon could be seen in the future.

According to a report from GameRant, the announcement that the shiny Pokemon is still around was made on "Pokemon GO's" official Twitter, so players should still keep an eye out for them. The developer didn't give any timeline as well on how long can players expect to see the shiny Pokemon.

The announcement is good news for a lot of players, considering that the golden Magikarp and the red Gyarados have a very rare spawn rate. There only a few players who were able to get their hands on this shiny Pokemon.

The report said that Niantic has not yet responded to fan's request of increasing the spawn rate of the shiny Pokemon to increase the chances of catching them. But the introduction of the golden Magikarp and red Gyarados is likely just the start for Niantic.

Forbes reports that if the shiny Pokemon will be part of the game, it's likely that more shiny Pokemon will make their way into the game as well. Niantic will likely introduce them one or two at a time, similar to what they did in the Water Festival.

Whether the shiny Pokemon becomes part of the game will probably be known in the next couple of weeks. This is especially since Easter is already near, and it likely means Niantic will be having another event for "Pokemon GO."

This time it's going to be something that's more egg-oriented and will probably include surprises as well. For people who has yet to catch a shiny Magikarp or a shiny Gyarados, check out the video below and learn how to increase your chances.
