Question

Will a level 100 Magikarp evolve into Gyarados using poke blocks in the poke oras?

Lugia2453

Top Answerer

A level 100 Magikarp will be unable to evolve in the first place, due to it evolving by level. You're also thinking of Feebas, who evolves by that method, not Magikarp.

How do I get a female Magikarp?

Natalie Tellechea

Top Answerer

Magikarp has a ratio of 1 male to 1 female (1:1). If you continue to fish up Magikarps, you will soon encounter one that is female.

Question

Where is the most common place to get Magikarp shinies?

Community Answer

There is no most common place to get any shiny (except for the Lake of Rage) as shinies are pretty rare to begin with, but if you complete your Pokedex (BW2 and up), you will be able to get a shiny charm, which increases your chance of finding shinies.

Question

I'm playing Pokemon blue and I have a level 22 Magikarp. I've completed 3 battles without him fainting, why isn't he evolving?

Jennifer Hallam

Community Answer

Just keep leveling it up. It will evolve eventually. You can give it an exp share which gives the holder a shared of experience points without battling, so it doesn't faint in battle.

Question

How do I know the Magikarp has stayed in daycare long enough?

HydraPorcuDuck

Community Answer

You can't, and will have to check every once in a while to see if it is there. You can estimate how long it will take, as every time you move a frame (take a step), your Magikarp will gain 1 exp.
