I'm not sure but if zel is unable to make the gyrados shiny couldn't he just use one of the empty pokemon slots in the rom and replace it with a shiny colored gyarados, of course I'm not sure if this would work, im just suggesting alternatives.
he some people already mentioned this earlier but i think zel doesn't want to do it this way
And we all know that... If everything fails, we can create a new poke to "make it look" like a Shiny Gyarados.
If zel makes a new pokemon that looks like a shiny gyarados what happens when you breed it?

First of all, you ignored my post :P
Second of all, you have a very good point. That, and, how weird would it look to see Gyarados (obviously zel won't actually name is Red Gyarados) #387 on the stat screen?
Im not sure but isn't it possible to work it out like the unowns so that it shares the same pokedex data as the normal gyarados, and he could just name it Gyrados and breeding should be pretty easy if it works similarly to evolution.
well i dn't see the need to breed (rhymed) gyarados i mean as long as you have a shiny one does it matter?
