How to get a Red Gyarados in Pokemon Violet
Best answer

Getting a Red Gyarados in Pokemon Violet isn't as straightforward as catching one in the wild since they're super rare. Instead, you gotta catch a Magikarp and evolve it. But here’s the trick: The Magikarp needs to be shiny to evolve into a Red Gyarados. Shiny Magikarps are gold instead of the usual orange. To increase your shiny odds, use the Masuda Method by breeding two Magikarps from different language games or rack up those encounters! Good luck on the shiny hunt!

Just fish for Magikarps until you find a golden one. Then evolve it. Done.

I got my Red Gyarados by breeding hundreds of Magikarps. It was a long process but totally worth it when that shiny golden Magikarp evolved!
