Today, my little sister came crying from the park because a bunch of kids told her that "the magikarps in the pond could evolve into Gyarados ANY TIME and eat her".

I wanted to reassure her, but unfort I dont know enough about how Gyarados work to say anything other than "That's impossible and not going to happen" so it wasn't really useful. Is there any scientific reason or explanation about how they evolve that I can tell her???

Thanks!!

oh, geez. poor kid.

the big thing with gyarados is they need a LOT of space. they really need a full lake to be able to evolve. a pond in a park just can't support a gyarados! most magikarp never evolve in the wild, and they pretty much always evolve in relatively secluded large bodies of water. you can even call your local parks and rec service to ask if there have ever been any gyarados in the park, and i'll bet the answer is no.

i was always a really nervous kid, and i had people bully me by trying to scare me a lot. i coped with it by learning about the things that scared me until i could handle them. maybe you can take your sister to a library and look for some books about magikarp so she can understand more about magikarp life cycles in the wild!

Did anyone else know that real fervent Arceists consider Gyarados a god?? I knew that them and a bunch of dragons are important to the cosmology, but I didn't think anyone considered them on the same tier as legendaries until someone barged up to the help desk today and went on a huge rant about how we have two Gyarados in captivity (who are perfectly happy and healthy and cared for and are a bonded pair, by the way. I would know, I'm the one who cleans their enclosure every Thursday and drags them to their check-ups). Then again it seems like they were from Unova, so it could just be a there problem.
