The red Gyarados's first appearance was in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' where it leaped out of the [[Lake of Rage]] and fired a {{m|Hydro Pump}} at {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. However, the attack did not hit them. Later, during a [[Team Rocket]] plot, {{TR|Tyson}} assigned [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} to capture the red Gyarados. They successfully found the Gyarados and lured it to the surface where the other Team Rocket members caught it in a net. Ash and the group came by and unsuccessfully stopped Team Rocket from getting away with Gyarados, and they too got captured by Team Rocket. [[Professor Sebastian]] explained to them that the red Gyarados was forcibly evolved from a normal-colored Magikarp. Since it didn't have time to officially complete the evolution, the coloration of the Pokémon ended up staying red instead of turning blue.

Lance's Gyarados appeared in {{jo|Marina}}'s scrapbook and fantasy, along with its Trainer and his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}. However, instead of red, the color of the Pokémon in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' was the regular blue. This may have been because the original airing of ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' in Japan was '''after''' ''The Legend of Thunder!'' already had aired. This may also mean that Lance also possesses another, normally-colored Gyarados.

The red Gyarados did not appear again until the {{series|Advanced Generation}} in ''[[AG097|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' where {{an|May}}, [[Max]] and {{an|Brock}} rode on it when Ash was captured by Team Magma.

During ''[[AG098|Gaining Groudon]]'', it ended up helping them out during the fight between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.

Prior to Lance capturing the red Gyarados, the red Gyarados had a bad temper towards people. It became worse after the machine forcing Pokémon to evolve got destroyed. Because of the increased rage, the Gyarados easily broke out of the prisons Team Rocket held it in. After Lance caught the red Gyarados, it calmed down. During the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, the red Gyarados got along with people and worked with Ash's friends to help them out during the fight with {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.
