2nd Gen ? Red Gyarados + Blue Gyarados = Gold Magikarp ?

In Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal I got told that when you breed the Red Gyarados with a normal blue one you get a Gold Magikarp is this true or is someone just plain lying to make themselves look big!

i think soo but i never tried it since i lost gold i heard that to soo it maybe true

in g/s when you breed a shiny the chance that you well get a shiny is batter but i don't kow ow much it rise

It's probably true im 60% sure ROTFL. Because a red Gyrados is shining which is 50% the breed and the other gyrados is normal so its another 50% so the chances are equal..But if im correct gyrados have male and female statistics so I think that if im correct that if the male gyrados is shiny that it will be more chance to make the magicarp shiny I could be wrong.

I tried it a lot, just got normal Magikarp.
The chances of getting a shiny Magikarp may rise a tiny bit, but it would still be rare, even with breeding two shiny Gyarados.

I believe the chances of a shiny double putting it to about one in four thousand.

yes because a shiny magikarp is a gold one yes the anime is diffrent to the game

Actually, yeah you will. When one of the pokemon breeded is shiny your chances of hatching a shiny is 1/64 and since the shiny magikarp is gold, you should get one. Also, for some wierd reason, you can't breed two shiny pokemon...

I thought we can't inherit shinny from parent to baby?

No, no, no. That's in the advance generation games.

I wanna use this to breed my shiny gyarados with a female dratini...then i'll have a shiny dragonite!!!!! mwahaha

Probably, yes.
Cuz back then I think if you bred a normal color poke with a shiny, the offspring had a high chance of being shiny...I think....May be wrong ^^;

Wouldnt the magikarp be RED because it evolves into a RED gyarados.

No... a Red Gyarados is the name for a Shiny Gyarados. We give it that name thanks to the GSC generation's Lake of Rage event. a SHINY Gyarados would give birth to a SHINY Magikarp, which is, in fact, Gold colored.

actually the shining gyarados has to be a girl, and the regular gyarados has to be boy.

Are you a great fan of Dragonite?
I am too.... They are so special...so adorable....

If you breed a shiny in GSC the chances of the baby being shiny is double as normal.

i never really knew that. i caught the red gyarados and a blue one never breeded them. ill go give that a shot.
