But red Gyarados are boring . GOLDEN magikarp , on the other hand . And I ' m not that great on pokemon metagame either , mind you , but if you want something competitively viable you ' ll most likely want to breed it yourself . It ' s not gonna be the random shiny with the random nature that RNGesus blessed you with . <| sep |> Defend who ?

The crockpot , oven , and stove top methods are all great and what I ' ve used . However , it can be messy and smelly .

To each their own but $ 115 for convenience is worth it to me .
