Gyarados Ex's Strengths
Gyarados Ex boasts 180 HP, surviving hits 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, dealing 140 damage. This high HP and strong attack, combined with strategic card choices, make it a formidable force.
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
- Trainers: Misty x2, Leaf x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poke Ball x2
Druddigon (100 HP) acts as a sturdy defender, chipping away at opponent's health. Greninja provides additional chip damage and serves as a backup attacker. Gyarados Ex finishes off weakened opponents.
Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo Deck
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 free retreat allows for efficient Gyarados Ex deployment. Vaporeon facilitates Energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. This deck prioritizes speed and consistent damage output.
