How to Get a Dragon Scale in Pokemon GO

May. 1, 2024

Pokemon GO packs a lot of items that help users evolve their special Pokemon. One such item is a Dragon Scale, an ultra-rare special item. Any Poke player worth their salt will tell you just how frustrating it can get to get a Dragon Scale. However, not everything is lost, as there are methods to obtain this item in Pokemon GO. So keep reading as I tell you just what it is and how to get it.

What Is the Pokemon GO Dragon Scale?

The Dragon Scale in Pokemon GO is an item used for one specific purpose. It is used to evolve a special Pokemon. More specifically, you can use the dragon scale to evolveSeadrainto itsJohto form Kingdra. There is no other usage of this item, and no other Pokemon can use the Dragon Scale in Pokemon GO. As such, if you somehow have caught yourself a Kanto Seadra, you should look out for this item during your daily Pokemon GO hunts.

Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you. Dragon Scales are anextremely rare itemin Pokemon GO. You only have around a 1% chance of getting it from your daily journey. However, if you are up for the challenge and adamant about it, the only tried and tested method is from Pokestops.

Pokemon GO rewards daily players. One such system is the “First Pokestop of the Day.” Players spin a Pokestop at least once every day. If you maintain a streak, you even get higher rewards. In such cases, the game drops a guaranteed special item. If your luck is with you, you’ll get the Dragon Scale as aspecial itemdrop in Pokemon GO.

Unfortunately, this is one of the only ways to get yourself a Dragon Scale. While you can sometimes get it as a research task reward, the chances for that are slim. Hence, you keep grinding to get that Pokestop streak and pray that the RNG works in your favor.

To use a Dragon Scale in Pokemon GO, you’ll first need aHorsea evolved into a Seadra. If you have a Horsea, ensure you have25 candiesto evolve it into Seadra. However, if you have a Seadra, ensure you have100 Horsea candies.

With the Horsea candy in your possession, simply press theEvolve buttonon your Seadra’s page to evolve it into a Kingdra. There’s no reason to hoard the scale unless you plan to evolve multiple Seadras. So make sure to use it as soon as possible.

That is how you get yourself a Dragon Scale in Pokemon GO. I wish this item had more usage and evolution paths like the game. But, for now, only one Pokemon uses it. I hope Niantic adds more options sometime in the future to spice it up!
