A trainer worked for years on the perfect monster in Pokémon GO. Almost incidentally, he achieved numbers that impressed players even more.
Gyarados is a true classic. The mighty water dragon has been around since Generation 1 and has secured a place in the hearts of many players over decades.
Finally, the monster evolves from the inconspicuous Magikarp. This useless fish turns into a powerful attacker. For many, Gyarados may also have been the first shiny Pokémon, as it could be caught in its red variant during the story in the Johto games.
A Gyarados fan recently showed up on Reddit: the trainer decided to develop a shiny Gyarados only when he had the perfect Magikarp for it.
- It should be shiny
- It should have perfect stats
- And it should preferably also be a lucky Pokémon
According to the player, it took him 10 years to get such an example. Clearly, he proudly shared his result on Reddit.
So much stardust, so many candies
In the comments, many users express extreme admiration for the trainer’s incredible patience. He even shows that he has indeed caught a few shiny Magikarp before. Only the perfect one wasn’t among them until recently.
By the way, the trainer also shows through his screenshots what kind of effects his decades-long Gyarados hunt had outside of Pokémon catching.
- He collected stardust in the millions: 61,735,181 stardust is on the scoreboard
- 54,270 Magikarp candies have also been collected
- In addition, he collected 748 XL candies and 3,599 Mega energies for Gyarados
These are incredibly high numbers, with which he can definitely build a top-notch Gyarados. This impresses the community.
Holy stardust, Batman
, user Different_Leather_84 expresses admiration (on Reddit)- Buddy, I think you can afford to develop a few not-so-good ones with that amount of candies, says user ProofHorseKzoo (on Reddit).
- 10 years and you never developed even one shiny Gyarados? I can’t even imagine this kind of patience, says user Own_Sock4468 (on Reddit).
In the comments, the trainer also shares that he has seen 15,360 Magikarp and caught 13,126 Magikarp. If that’s not a real fan!
Do you also have a Pokémon that you are working towards the perfect monster? One that you catch each and every one of? Tell us in the comments! (For the author of this article, it is actually the damn shiny Bidoof that has been hiding for years. Because Bidoof is obviously the best Pokémon of all time. But soon it will happen! For sure!).
