Gyarados Ex Analysis
Gyarados Ex boasts 180 HP, significant resilience against 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 a Giovanni, makes it a formidable finisher.
1. Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo
This strategy focuses on a synergistic approach using Greninja for chip damage and Gyarados Ex as the knockout blow.
- Pokémon: Froakie x2, Frogadier x2, Greninja x2, Druddigon x2, Magikarp x2, Gyarados Ex x2
- Trainers: Misty x2, Leaf x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2
Druddigon, with 100 HP, acts as a sturdy defender while inflicting minor damage. Greninja provides additional chip damage and serves as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex delivers the final, powerful strikes.
2. Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo
This faster-paced deck utilizes Starmie Ex and Vaporeon for early-game aggression and energy management.
- Pokémon: Magikarp x2, Gyarados Ex x2, Eevee (Mythical Island) x2, Vaporeon (Mythical Island) x2, Staryu x2, Starmie Ex x2
