Golden Magikarp?

Nope. The explanation actually, as to why that Gyarados was red in the first place, is that the Rockets made it evolve to quickly, and so it didn't adapt like most Gyarados's due, instead it retained its Magikarp color, so no a golden Magikarp does not become a Golden Gyarados.

Believe it or not, chances are hardly increased (if they are at all) if one of the parents is a shiny.
However, if you use the shiny Ditto glitch (can't remember how it goes, you may have to search for it) and breed the shiny Ditto with your shiny Gyarados, the chances become heavily increased, I think maybe 1 in 64?
But no, every shiny Gyarados is red, so no golden Gyarados for you.

That's only in anime canon. The Red Gyarados is a Shining Pokemon in-game, not just a miscolored Pokemon.Nope.

And Benmeister, the chances of getting a shiny through breeding are 1/64 if one of the parents is a shiny. Actually, IIRC, two shinies can't breed at all, because the similarity in the DVs makes the game think they're related.

Whoops, my mistake.
So getting a shiny Magikarp is easier than I thought? Or does it only apply to Ditto?

In breeding, if neither parent is shiny, the chances of getting a shiny egg are 1/8192 (the standard). If one parent is shiny, the chances are 1/64 -- it doesn't matter what the parent is. Though now that I think about it, the chances may be twice as great with a shiny Ditto, because if a Ditto's involved in breeding, the DVs are inherited from Ditto and not the other parent (as opposed to a normal male-female relationship, where the baby's DVs are inherited from the opposite-gendered parent).

Lopunny's puns pwn.

They become 1/64? I remember reading somewhere that one of the parents being shiny doesn't affect the chancesof a shiny egg.
In GSC, due to the fact that shiny Pokemon become so based on certain DVs and the fact that DVs are passed on through breeding, if a parent is shiny, the egg has a higher chance of being shiny as well.They become 1/64? I remember reading somewhere that one of the parents being shiny doesn't affect the chancesof a shiny egg.
They later fixed this in the GBA games.
