Gyarados Ex's Strengths

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

Deck 1: Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo

This deck focuses on a controlled approach. The key components are:

• Froakie x2
• Frogadier x2
• Greninja x2
• Druddigon x2
• Magikarp x2
• Gyarados Ex x2
• Misty x2
• Leaf x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poke Ball x2

Druddigon, with 100 HP, acts as a sturdy defender and inflicts chip damage without energy investment. Greninja provides additional chip damage and serves as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex delivers the knockout blow once enough damage has been accumulated.

Deck 2: Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo

This deck prioritizes speed and versatility:

• Magikarp x2
• Gyarados Ex x2
• Eevee (Mythical Island) x2
• Vaporeon (Mythical Island) x2
• Staryu x2
• Starmie Ex x2
• Misty x2
• Sabrina
• Giovanni
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poke Ball x2

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