Gyarados Ex Overview
Gyarados Ex boasts impressive stats: 180 HP, making it resilient against powerful attackers like Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. Its "Rampaging Whirlpool" attack (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy) deals 140 damage while discarding a random energy from all Pokémon. This high HP and potent attack, combined with strategic support cards, make Gyarados Ex a devastating finisher.
Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo
This deck utilizes a synergistic 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
Strategy: Druddigon acts as a sturdy 100 HP wall and provides chip damage. Simultaneously, Greninja builds up additional chip damage and serves as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex then delivers the knockout blow once significant damage has been inflicted.
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
Strategy: Starmie Ex's free retreat allows for flexible Gyarados Ex deployment. Vaporeon facilitates efficient energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. Both Starmie Ex and Vaporeon function as initial attackers, setting the stage for Gyarados Ex's final strike.
