Saw the Gyarados change some minutes ago and nearly freaked out since I thought I got a shiny :D
Anyone else had that stupid moment? Just to see all the other Gyarados look alike.. :D

I don't like the change tbh but I think it's a test trial for shinies just like how they did with genders. We all know shiny Gary is red but this might suggest we could be getting shinies soon.

Vaporeon looks to be slightly different. Looks like they added more contrast to the pokemons.
Are Arcanine's stripes darker?
Exeggutor's top looks darker in places too.

Gyarados was the only change.
And it seems that it's because shiny Magikarps and Gyarados started to appear.
There's a video on silphroad reddit of a shiny Magikarp being caught.

So you have 400 candies and ready to evolve your next Gyarados. You have two options:
1) 96% level 20 magikarp you hatched; or
2) 42% level 18 Shiney Magikarp you caught in the wild
What do you do?

I would wait for easter event either way.
There's some rumors that this event could be a "half candies to evolve".

Since I have enough candies due to the event I might evolve both. But not sure about the 96% one. Could catch higher lvl ones with 90+% in the wild.
So I'd just present my shiny pride ;)
