Gyarados Ex Deck Strategies

Gyarados Ex boasts 180 HP, resisting attacks from Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. Its "Rampaging Whirlpool" (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy) attack discards a random energy from all Pokémon, dealing 140 damage. Its high HP and damage output make it a formidable finisher, especially when combined with support cards like Giovanni.

1. Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo

This deck uses a stall-and-finish strategy:

• 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

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

2. Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo

This deck offers a faster, more aggressive approach:

• 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

Starmie Ex's zero-retreat cost allows for quick Gyarados Ex deployment. Vaporeon facilitates efficient energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. This deck's versatility makes it a strong contender.
