Red (shiny) gyarados can be found like any other shiny Pokemon. Every time you meet a new one, you have a 1 in 8192 chance that the gyarados will be shiny, which means it will be red instead of blue. That's only a 0.0122% chance of finding one!
Since shiny Pokemon retain their shininess when they evolve, it is also possible to get a red (shiny) gyarados by evolving a shiny magikarp. Shiny magikarp are yellow colored.
Additionally, since HeartGold/SoulSilver features a red gyarados in its story line, it would be possible to catch the red gyarados from the Lake of Rage in HeartGold/SoulSilver and then trade it to Pokemon Pearl.
For the lazy, ActionReplay has codes that make it so that all Pokemon that you find in the wild are shiny. This would make all gyarados you find red colored. Here is the code:

Remember, this code only works for Pokemon Pearl, and not Diamond. Also, it only changes the color of wild Pokemon, so any trainer owned Pokemon will remain blue.
At the Lake of Rage, which is North of Mahogany Town.

You would need to patiently fish using the Super Rod to get a Shiny Gyarados, for the chances of a Shiny Pokemon appearing is 1/8192. However, the chances of encountering one can be increased by using the Masuda Method. The Masuda Method is where the two parents in the Day Care are from different countries, so the GTS was required back then. The chances of an Egg containing a shiny is now reduced to 1/1638. This method would require training of the new Shiny Magikarp to evolve into a Shiny Gyarados. An easier way is catching the story-line Shiny Gyarados in Pokemon SoulSilver or HeartGold and trading it to Pokemon Pearl.
The Red Gyarados is a standard pokémon you'll encounter in HeartGold/SoulSilver, but not in Diamond. In Diamond it's a 'normal' shiny pokémon, which means that you need to be very lucky to catch one. You can find Gyarados at many places in Diamond, but the chance of getting a shiny pokémon is 0.0122%.
You can find a Shiny Stone in Route 228 in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. In Pokemon Platinum, you can also find a Shiny Stone on Iron Island.
red gyarados is merely a shiny gyarados. they apear at random the same way you encounter a regular gyarados. dont go looking for one either, because chances are one in a million. same goes for any other shiny pokemon.
