Lake Of Rage Guide

Lake Of Rage is Gyarados Lake under a bad omen: a wild northern water stop where the red Gyarados, Lance, hidden shoreline prizes, and Mahogany’s strange radio signal all meet.

Arrive at Gyarados Lake

Lake of Rage feels wrong the moment you reach the water. The sign calls it Gyarados Lake, the locals are nervous, and everyone has heard the same rumor: a red Gyarados is thrashing out in the middle of the lake. This is not just a scenic stop north of Route 43. It is the moment Mahogany Town's mystery finally becomes impossible to ignore.

Surf out when you are ready. The lake has ordinary Magikarp and Gyarados in the water, but the red Gyarados is the reason you came.

Face the red Gyarados

The red Gyarados waits on the lake as a level 30 special encounter. Battle it like a real prize: catch it if you want a rare shiny partner, or defeat it if you only care about moving on. Either way, you receive the RED SCALE afterward.

When the battle ends, Lance appears by the shore. He has been following the same rumors and believes the lake's Magikarp are being forced to evolve by a strange radio signal from Mahogany. Agree to help him, then follow the trail back to Mahogany Mart 1F.

Sweep the shoreline

Do not leave as soon as Lance flies off. The lake has a lot tucked around its edges.

  • Pick up MAX ETHER and TM43.
  • Search for hidden FULL RESTORE, MAX POTION, and RARE CANDY.
  • Visit the Fishing Guru's house near the south side.
  • Stop by the Hidden Power house if you are exploring the northern edge.
  • Come back on Wednesday to meet Wesley and get the BLACKBELT.

Battles around the water

The trainers here feel like they were pulled in by the same rumors you were. Fisher Andre brings a level 27 Gyarados, Fisher Raymond has four level 22 Magikarp, Cooltrainer Aaron carries Ivysaur, Charmeleon, and Wartortle at level 24, and Cooltrainer Lois has Skiploom and Ninetales at level 25.

The water itself has Magikarp and Gyarados. Later, Headbutt trees can turn up Caterpie, Metapod, Exeggcute, Butterfree, and rare Pineco.

Follow the signal

Once the red Gyarados is handled and Lance asks for your help, Lake of Rage stops being a rumor and becomes a lead. Return south through Route 43 to Mahogany Town, then check the mart. The strange broadcast from the lake is coming from somewhere nearby, and Lance is already waiting.

Lake mystery

Surf out to the level 30 red Gyarados, then take the Red Scale afterward.

Shoreline sweep

Collect Max Ether, TM43, hidden Full Restore, hidden Max Potion, and hidden Rare Candy.

Next lead

After Lance explains the radio signal, return to Mahogany Mart.

Map Movement Tips

These clues come from the map tiles, so they are handy when you are planning which moves or paths matter here.

Cut can open a blocker here

Some small trees or grass blockers can be cleared with Cut.

Bring a Pokémon that knows Cut after earning Hive Badge.

Surf opens water paths here

Water tiles can become paths once you can Surf.

Bring a Surf user after earning Fog Badge if you want every shoreline path.

One-way ledges shape the route

These ledges let you jump down but not climb back up from the same spot.

Look before you hop if you are collecting items or avoiding trainers.

Repel Planning

If your lead Pokémon is above a wild level, Repel skips it. These checkpoints show what disappears completely.
