I beg to differ, but very much is the Red Gyarados considered a Shiny. This was discussed before if I remember correctly, and because it takes on the same look as an original Shiny Gyarados and has the regular shiny opening out of its Pokéball, it is a classified Shiny. Regardless of it being an easy encounter and being referred to as "Red Gyarados" (which is only a given title to name Gyarados' shiny form) it is very much so a Shiny Pokémon.lol It doesnt count as a shiny tho
Why should the HGSS Gyarados not count as shiny? It's just like any other shiny Gyarados, same sprite and everything. It's just an easier way of obtaining it.i MEAN hg/ss ONE. lol oops caps. the normal one counts
