You can find shiny magikarps at any time, anywhere you can catch normal magikarps. However, there is a VERY VERY VERY high probability that you will not catch one, like 1 in 10,000. So, you can fish and surf(a lot) but I just recommend using an action replay to get one. Hope I helped :)

There is no certain place to get a shiny magikarp. You basicaly just look in a place where you would find one and pray that its shiny. This almost never happens
A yellow Magikarp is a "shiny" Magikarp. The odds of finding any Shiny Pokemon is 1 in 8,192. Unless you use an Action Replay code, it will be VERY difficult to find one.
Get a shiny Magikarp. A Red Gyarados is a shiny Gyarados.
It depends on luck. when catching a magikarp, you have a 1/8000 chance of shiny.
There is no way to get a Shiny Magikarp 100% of the time.
