Gyarados Ex: A Powerful Asset

Gyarados Ex boasts impressive stats: 180 HP, making it resilient against threats like Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. Its "Rampaging Whirlpool" attack (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy) discards a random energy from all Pokémon, dealing 140 damage. This, combined with its high HP, makes it a potent finisher, especially when paired with a Giovanni card.

Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo Deck

This deck utilizes a strategic approach:

• 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

The strategy centers on using Druddigon (100 HP) as a defensive wall and chip damage dealer. Simultaneously, Greninja provides additional chip damage and serves as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex acts as the powerful finisher, capitalizing on the damage already inflicted.

Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo Deck

This deck offers a faster, more versatile 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

Here, Starmie Ex's free retreat allows for flexible switching to Gyarados Ex when advantageous. Vaporeon facilitates efficient energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to strike. Both Starmie Ex and Vaporeon function as early-game attackers.
