Gyarados Ex Deck Strategies

Gyarados Ex boasts 180 HP, resisting attacks from powerful Pokemon like Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. Its "Rampaging Whirlpool" attack (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy) discards a random energy from all Pokemon and deals 140 damage. This makes it a formidable finisher, especially when combined with cards like Giovanni. Its high HP makes it a resilient attacker in water-type decks.

Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo Deck

This deck utilizes a synergistic approach:

• Pokemon: Froakie x2, Frogadier x2, Greninja x2, Druddigon x2, Magikarp x2, Gyarados Ex x2
• Trainer Cards: Misty x2, Leaf x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poke Ball x2

The strategy centers around using Druddigon (100 HP) as a defensive wall and chip damage dealer, while simultaneously building up Greninja for additional chip damage and offensive capabilities. Gyarados Ex serves as the powerful finisher, capitalizing on the weakened opponent.

Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo Deck

For a faster-paced strategy, consider this alternative:

• Pokemon: 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, Poke Ball x2

Here, Starmie Ex's free retreat allows for flexible Gyarados Ex deployment, while Vaporeon facilitates efficient energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. This deck prioritizes speed and versatility.
