"Pokemon Go" Will Likely Feature Shiny Magikarp Chaining

"Pokemon Go's" Shiny Magikarp is believed to be one of the rarest Pokemon, although reports claim that shiny Magikarp chaining in the augmented reality game may be possible. This could mean that players will increase their chances of finding and catching a shiny Magikarp.

In "Pokemon Go," meantime, shiny chaining is a method used to increase the shiny encounter rate. Incidentally, a frequent encounter with the same Pokemon will dramatically increase the likelihood of the Pokemon appearing as a shiny Pokemon, Pokemon Go Informer reported.
