Sightings of a red Gyarados were [[Pokémon nation|national]] news. {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} begins with a news report broadcast in [[Twinleaf Town]] of [[Sinnoh]], according to which the Red Gyarados had eluded detection by a research crew; it is unknown to which point in time this corresponds in the [[Johto]]-based games.Also, in [[ Pokémon Platinum]], a cameraman in the battle zone comments he filmed it, and claims it was 'award winning'. The player accompanies {{ga|Barry|his/her best friend}} to [[Lake Verity]] in hopes of seeing a similar Pokémon.

While the easiest and most common way to obtain a red Gyarados is at the Lake of Rage in Generations II or IV, any {{Shiny}} Gyarados will be red, no matter how it is encountered, through evolution of a gold Magikarp or by encountering it with the normal 1/8192 odds. This is the only possible way to get a red Gyarados outside of the Johto-based games without trading.
