Pokemon Go: Find and catch Magikarp

In Pokemon Go, you will always find Magikarp near water. Once you have collected enough candies, you can evolve the fish into Gyarados.

Find and catch Magikarp in Pokemon Go

Magikarp belongs to the class of water Pokemon. For this reason, you will only find Magikarp near bodies of water.

  • The Pokemon's catch locations include rivers, canals, lakes, seas, reservoirs, shores, docks, and drainage ditches. Magikarp can be found in both salt and fresh water.
  • In most cases, Magikarps are quite easy to catch. If it doesn't work, a Razzberry is all you need.
  • If you catch a Magikarp, you will receive 3 Magikarp candies. If you send the Magikarp to the professor, you will receive another candy. To evolve it into Gyarados, you will need a total of 400 candies.



Why it's worth farming Magikarp

Magikarp is one of the weakest Pokemon, but it can still be worth your while to search for and catch it regularly.

  • Because Magikarp is so easy to catch, you can collect daily bonuses. The raid of the day can also be easily picked up with Magikarp.
  • If you use Magikarp as your buddy, you can collect candies faster and thus advance the evolution into Gyarados more quickly.
