Gyarados Ex: A Powerful Force

Gyarados Ex boasts 180 HP, withstanding attacks from powerful Pokémon like 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, combined with a Giovanni's strategy, makes it a formidable finisher. Even without Giovanni, strategic chip damage easily sets up Gyarados Ex for a knockout.

1. Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo Deck

This deck utilizes a stalling strategy:

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

Druddigon (100 HP) acts as a defensive wall and inflicts chip damage without needing Energy. Meanwhile, Greninja provides additional chip damage and serves as an alternative attacker. Gyarados Ex delivers the final blow once sufficient damage has been inflicted.

2. Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo Deck

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
• Poké Ball x2

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