Incense will probably be the key here, thanks to the increased time it works and the boosted spawn rate since the pandemic began.

The key is simply encountering as many Magikarp as you can during the six hour event.

While you’re not guaranteed a shiny Magikarp during the event, if you play enough you can rest pretty easily. But what about the big prize? How to Catch Shiny MagikarpĮvery Community Day seems to come down to the special shiny Pokémon offered. So big benefits that you’ll probably want to jump on. Along with this, incense activated during the event will last for three hours and catching Pokémon will give you 3x the usual Stardust. Considering you need 400 of them to evolve a single Gyarados then if that’s important to you it likely is. Is this worth buying? The main reward seems to be a bunch of Magikarp candy. There’s also tons of special research to enjoy, including a paid quest called Making a Splash. The main draw for many will be the increased Magikarp spawns and shiny rate, but skip ahead if that’s all you care about. Just like previous Community Days there’s a lot going on during these special hours.
