Gyarados Ex: A Powerful Force
Gyarados Ex boasts 180 HP, withstanding attacks from Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. Its "Rampaging Whirlpool" attack (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy) discards a random energy from all Pokémon and deals 140 damage. This makes it a formidable finisher, especially when combined with a Giovanni.
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, with 100 HP, acts as a sturdy defender and inflicts chip damage. Greninja provides additional chip damage and can serve as a primary attacker. Gyarados Ex delivers the knockout blow once enough damage has been accumulated.
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 zero-retreat cost allows for quick Gyarados Ex deployment. Vaporeon facilitates efficient energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. Both Starmie Ex and Vaporeon act as initial attackers.
