Plus, players can use this opportunity to grind for some of the various medals in the game, like winning gym battles (when they need to take over gyms), and feeding Pokemon X number of berries.īasically, players should be putting Magikarp or Gyarados into every gym they can, and feeding them as many berries as possible. Of course, a 1 in 85 chance means that players will likely be burning through a lot of berries just to get 1 Magikarp candy, but it should still speed up the process of evolving Magikarp regardless. However, there is also a 1 in 85 chance that feeding a berry to a Pokemon in a gym will get players that Pokemon's candy, meaning that this is yet another way to farm for Magikarp candy in Pokemon GO. This will restore some of that Pokemon's health, raise their CP, and reward players with a small amount of stardust.

In Pokemon GO, players are able to feed berries to Pokemon at gyms controlled by their team. While there's no way to circumvent this, there are steps players can take to speed up the process, with one trick that seems to be going overlooked. One of the most time-consuming objectives in the quest is to evolve a Magikarp into a Gyarados, which requires players to amass a whopping 400 Magikarp candy. Pokemon GO's Special Research quest to catch Mew, A Mythical Discovery, features some rather demanding challenges.
