How to get Magcargo
Magcargo is unlocked through the region gacha at 3★ rarity — spend tickets earned by playing (missions, achievements and run rewards). Check exact pull odds with the gacha calculator. It is not one of the 29 selectable starters, so you cannot begin a run with it directly.
Shiny Magcargo
Like every one of the 966 playable species, Magcargo has a shiny variant: 1/4096 on wild encounters and 1/100 on gacha pulls. Full odds and duplicate protection on the shiny page.
