How to Evolve Magikarp into Gyrados

Evolving Magikarp into Gyrados in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is a bit tricky. However, your troubles will be worthwhile once you add one of the most powerful Pokemon to your Pokedex.

To evolve Magikarp into Gyrados, it needs to reach level 20. Unfortunately, Magikarp is a weak Pokemon with no damage-dealing move until it is level 15. Even then, the stats are too low. If you feel that using this Pokemon in battles is useless, then we have an option for you. You can use EXP. Candy to level Magikarp and evolve it in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Once it evolves into Gyrados, it will learn some peculiar and rather powerful moves, such as Giga Impact or the dragon-type move, Outrage.

Can You Catch Gyrados in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?

Gyrados can be found in Paldea as well, just like Magikarp. Although it doesn’t inhabit all the areas like its weaker form, there is still plenty of spots where you can find Gyrados. These locations include:

  • North Paldean Sea
  • East Paldean Sea
  • West Paldean Sea
  • South Paldean Sea
