How do you catch the Shining Magikarp?Magikarp has an increased spawn rate during this short, limited-time event. You will find Magikarp in Max Raid Dens in the Wilds. Look for red pillars of light - which mark a Rad Den location. You will find Magikarp in around 50% of Raid Dens. Magikarp has a much higher chance of spawning as a Shiny Pokémon, so this is your chance!

What are Battle Points?: Battle Points are a useful special currency that you can normally earn at the Battle Tower - a slot that unlocks after completing the main story. Once the story is over, return to Wyndon to find the Battle Tower. Battle Points can be spent on rare items and special mints that change the nature of your Pokémon. You won't find it anywhere else.

What are diving balls?: Dive balls are particularly useful for catching Pokémon that live in water. Try using diving balls when fishing for Pokemon or when trying to catch Pokemon on the water in the wilds.
