Gyarados Ex Analysis

Gyarados Ex boasts impressive stats: 180 HP, making it resilient against powerful opponents like Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. Its attack, "Rampaging Whirlpool" (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy), deals 140 damage while discarding a random Energy from all Pokémon. This ability, combined with its high HP, makes it a formidable finisher. A Giovanni card further enhances its knockout potential.

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
• Trainer Cards: Misty x2, Leaf x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2

Druddigon acts as a sturdy 100 HP wall, inflicting chip damage without Energy investment. Greninja provides additional chip damage and serves as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex, once sufficiently supported, delivers the knockout blows.

2. Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo

This deck prioritizes speed and versatility:

• 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

Starmie Ex's zero-cost retreat allows for flexible Gyarados Ex deployment. Vaporeon facilitates efficient Energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. This combination offers a dynamic and adaptable strategy.
