HeartGold & SoulSilver Lake of Rage

Team Rocket's broadcast has driven a blood-red Gyarados berserk at the heart of this northern lake. Surf out to face it; Lance waits on the shore, already hunting the source.

Lake of Rage is in Johto. In the story you arrive from Route 43 to the south and it comes before Team Rocket HQ.

Lake of Rage Guide

  • A guaranteed shiny red Gyarados appears at Level 30 in the middle of the Lake of Rage, stirred up by Team Rocket's radio waves out of Mahogany Town. It was the series' first 100 percent certain shiny encounter. Catch or beat it for the Red Scale, which you can trade to Mr. Pokemon on Route 30 for an Exp. Share, and Lance meets you on the shore afterward.
