Gyarados Ex Overview

Gyarados Ex boasts impressive stats: 180 HP, making it resilient against powerful Pokémon like Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. Its "Rampaging Whirlpool" attack (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy) deals 140 damage while discarding a random energy from all Pokémon. This ability, combined with its high HP, makes it a formidable finisher.

1. Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo

This deck utilizes a synergistic approach:

• Pokémon: Froakie x2, Frogadier x2, Greninja x2, Druddigon x2, Magikarp x2, Gyarados Ex x2
• Trainer Cards: Misty x2, Leaf x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2

Strategy: Druddigon acts as a sturdy wall (100 HP) and provides chip damage. Greninja delivers additional chip damage and serves as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex finishes off opponents once significant damage has been inflicted.

2. Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo

This deck prioritizes speed and versatility:

• Pokémon: Magikarp x2, Gyarados Ex x2, Eevee (Mythical Island) x2, Vaporeon (Mythical Island) x2, Staryu x2, Starmie Ex x2
• Trainer Cards: Misty x2, Sabrina, Giovanni, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2

Strategy: Starmie Ex's zero-cost retreat allows for strategic Gyarados Ex deployment. Vaporeon facilitates efficient energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. Both Starmie Ex and Vaporeon act as early-game attackers.
