How to Obtain and Use Dragon Scale in Pokémon Go

Evolution items in Pokemon Go unlock special evolution that are otherwise unattainable. In fact, evolution items are the path to obtaining some of the game’s most powerful creatures. Of the 10 evolution items, the Dragon Scale — a key to evolve Seadra into Kingdra — is definitely one of the most sought-after treasures.

And in this guide we will dig deep into the Dragon Scale, reveal its significance, and also discuss how to obtain it. Given the rarity, obtaining Dragon Scale through regular means might be difficult, that’s why we will discuss a sure method to get Dragon Scale — that too, quickly! Finally, you will learn how to evolve Seadra into Kingdra using the Dragon Scale.

Part 1: What is Dragon Scale in Pokemon Go

Relic of the Johto region, the Dragon Scale — a shimmering blue scale — is the catalyst for evolving Seadra (Water-type seahorse Pokemon) into its final form: Kingdra.

Using the Dragon Scale, you can dramatically increase Seadra’s Combat Power (CP) and make it a much stronger contender in battles. Additionally, it will also change the Seadra’s typing from Water to Water/Dragon — with additional resistance and super effective against Fire, Rock, and Ground-type Pokemon.

But obtaining the Dragon Scale is also challenging due to its rarity. In fact, the Dragon Scale is considered to be the most elusive of all evolution items in Pokemon Go. Still, there are several methods available to acquire it, and in the next section, we will delve into all those methods.

Part 2: How to Get Pokemon Go Dragon Scale

There’s no guaranteed method for obtaining a Dragon Scale. For context, countless discussions on Discord Channels and Reddit forums indicates that everyone has their own “lucky” method. Even I scored my Dragon Scale through iWhere (more on that in the next section). Still, here are the traditional routes which have worked for a lot of trainers, but note that luck plays a major role:

1. Spin PokeStops and Gyms: This is the most common way to get evolution items, and not just Dragon Scales. But it’s a numbers game – the more you spin, the higher your chances. While the drop rate for evolution items is generally low (around 1%), you might get lucky and score a Dragon Scale alongside other items like the Metal Coat or King’s Rock.

2. 7-Day PokeStop Streak: Here’s a guaranteed evolution item, but it’s still a gamble. On the 7th day of your daily PokeStop streak, you’ll receive one evolution item at random. It could be a Sun Stone, a Metal Coat, or even the elusive Dragon Scale. So, you might have multiple Sun Stones or King’s Rocks, for instance.

3. Trading with Trainers: Given you will have accumulated several evolution items other than the Dragon Scale, you can leverage those to trade with friends.So, if you have spare evolution items (like Up-Grade, Metal Coat, or King’s Rock), you can try trading them for a Dragon Scale. Of course, there will be a Stardust cost, which again is not a big deal given you will have the Dragon Scale.

4. Gifts: The chances are slim you will receive a Dragon Scale, it’s worth checking those gifts regularly.

5. Research Task Rewards: Special Research Task and Field Research breakthrough also reward you with an evolution item — it’s not common, but then again, it is not unheard of.

As mentioned, all these methods are only common, but doesn’t guarantee obtaining the Dragon Scale — not especially if you are impatient and want it quickly. Even though I spent countless hours spinning at the PokeStops, it only yielded potions and berries again and again.

From what I have observed and even the general consensus, that the items you receive from PokeStops seem to depend more on the PokeStop itself than the trainer spinning it. So, I accessed PokeStops where other trainers had successfully acquired Dragon Scale using iWhere — a location spoofer.
