In the anime[]

James's Magikarp, which he bought from a dealer, evolves into a Gyarados, which called forth four wild Gyarados to use Dragon Rage and send Ash and co flying.

A Red Gyarados is found in the Lake of Rage, north of Mahogany Town, in Johto. It is owned by the Elite Four, Lance.

Trivia[]

Despite its dragon-like appearance, it isn't Dragon-type, yet it learns Dragon Type moves such as Dragon Rage and Dragonbreath and is used by many Dragon Trainers such as Lance and Clair.
Despite it being a Flying-type, it can only know one Flying-type move, Bounce.
Despite it being seen flying in the anime, it cannot learn the move, Fly,and this is only because it's pre-evolution,Magikarp can learn it in Generation IV only.
Gyarados may be based off of the mythological creature, the Krakon, since it's original name was going to be Skullkrakon.
In Generation II and IV, Gyarados is the only 100%-certain shiny encounter and the first of only two shiny Pokémon to be integrated into a game's plot (the second was Celebi in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness)
