Gyarados Ex's Strengths

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

Deck 1: Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo

This deck utilizes a strategic approach, using Druddigon (100 HP) as a defensive wall and chip damage dealer. While Druddigon holds the active slot, you build up Greninja for additional chip damage or as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex then delivers the knockout blow once enough damage has been inflicted.

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

Deck 2: Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo

This deck offers a faster, more versatile strategy. Starmie Ex's free retreat allows for immediate Gyarados Ex deployment when ready. Vaporeon facilitates efficient energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always prepared for battle.

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