Gyarados Ex: A Powerful Force
Gyarados Ex boasts 180 HP, withstanding attacks from Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. Its "Rampaging Whirlpool" (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy) attack discards a random energy from all Pokémon and deals 140 damage. This, combined with a Giovanni's ability, makes it a formidable finisher.
1. Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo
This deck utilizes a strategic approach:
- Pokémon: Froakie x2, Frogadier x2, Greninja x2, Druddigon x2, Magikarp x2, Gyarados Ex x2
- Trainers: Misty x2, Leaf x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poke Ball x2
Druddigon (100 HP) acts as a sturdy defender and inflicts chip damage. Greninja provides additional chip damage and serves as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex finishes off weakened opponents.
2. Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo
This deck offers a faster, more versatile strategy:
- 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, Poke Ball x2
Starmie Ex's free retreat allows for quick Gyarados Ex deployment. Vaporeon facilitates energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack.
