Where to Find Gyarados in the Game?
In 'Pokemon Sun and Moon', one way to find a Gyarados is through an SOS battle with a Magikarp.

In Melemele Island, Magikarp can be found in Melemele Meadow, Melemele Sea, and Kala'e Bay. In Akala Island players will encounter a Magikarp in Paniola Town, Routes 5,7,8, and 9. As for Ula'ula Island, players will see Magikarps in Malie Garden, Routes 13, 14, 15 and the Secluded Shore. Lastly, Magikarps found in Poni Island is in Seafolk Village, Ancient Poni Path, Poni Wilds, Poni Gauntlet, Poni Breaker Coast, and Poni Plains.
How to Catch Gyarados in the Game?
An encounter with a Magikarp in 'Pokemon Sun and Moon' is not very hard to get. The challenging part is getting a Gyarados to respond to its call. And to make a Magikarp call for help, players should have a Pokemon with the False Swipe move in their party. This move drains the HP of the wild Pokemon down to 1 to make it call for help. If the Pokemon that responded to the call is not a Gyarados, all the player needs to do is zero its HP so another one will be called. Keep doing this step until a Gyarados finally appears.
