Mahogany and Lake of Rage — Red Gyarados

Mahogany's "souvenir shop" is a front for a Team Rocket base broadcasting a radio signal that force-evolves Magikarp. North via Route 43 is the Lake of RageNormal, churning with angry Gyarados — including a famous one.

Red Gyarados
Red Gyarados
Water/Flying · Lake of RageNormal center · Lv 30 · ★ shiny, one-time
Missable: The Red (shiny) Gyarados is a single static Lv 30 encounter in the middle of the Lake of RageNormal. It's the guaranteed shiny of the game — save before you SurfWater into it and don't KO it. A weak status (Thunder WaveElectric) + a Great/Ultra Ball locks it. Afterward, a fisherman gives you a Red Scale (trade it in Blackthorn for an Exp. Share-type reward).

Talk to Lance at the lake — he's investigating the signal and leads the assault on the Mahogany hideout with you.
