'Pokémon GO' Guide: How To Catch Seadra, Lapras, Starmie, Gyarados
Jazz RosinA strong water-type Pokémon is a must-have for any aspiring Pokémon master.
Next on our "Pokémon GO" guide, we will discuss how to catch some of the rarest water-type Pokémon in the game, Seadra, Lapras, Starmie, and Gyarados.
Where To Catch Water-Type Pokémon
Water-type Pokémon are easier to catch if you are near any large body of water, like lakes and oceans.
Alternatively, water-type Pokémon also spawn near water-related landmarks like fountains and swimming pools, as well as near small ponds, beaches and rivers.
If you can't find these monsters in the wild, the next option is to evolve them from scratch. Here is how you can do it.
Seadra and Starmie Evolution
Seahorse-like Pokémon Seadra can be evolved from its first form Horsea. The cute water-type Pokémon can be evolved into Seadra using 50 Horsea Candy.
Starmie is a water-psychic type hybrid, and can be evolved from Staryu. As with Horsea, it also needs 50 Staryu Candy to evolve into Starmie.
Both initial evolutions can either be obtained from the wild, or through 5km eggs.
Gyarados Evolution
Evolving Gyarados takes a bit more work compared to other Pokémon evolutions. The mighty water-type Pokémon can also be caught in the wild, but it is one of the rarest spawns in the game.
To get the majestic Gyarados through evolution, you would need 400 Magikarp Candy. Magikarp can easily be obtained from bodies of water, and has a much higher spawn rate than Gyarados.
Through sheer hard work, you will have a higher chance of obtaining 100 Magikarps than getting a Gyarados in the wild, except of course if you're really lucky.
How To Catch Lapras
Water and ice type Pokémon Lapras is considered as one of the strongest Pokémon in the game. Lapras can be caught in the wild, but you would need a lot of high level Pokéballs and Razz Berries to nab this one.
Another method is to get Lapras from a 10km egg, which also requires a huge amount of luck.
Best Water-Type Pokémon?
There are so many debates about which Pokémon are the strongest for each type, and water-type Pokémon are no exception.
According to Rankedboost's "Pokémon GO" tier list, a handful of water-type Pokémon are considered S-type Pokémon, such as Lapras, Vaporeon, Gyarados, Poliwrath, and Blastoise.
