Gyarados Ex: A formidable force

Gyarados Ex boasts 180 HP, withstanding attacks from Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. Its "Rampaging Whirlpool" (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy) attack discards a random energy from all Pokémon and inflicts 140 damage. This, combined with a Giovanni's ability, makes it a potent finisher.

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
• 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 secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex finishes the match once sufficient damage has been dealt.

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
• Trainers: Misty x2, Sabrina, Giovanni, Professor’s Research x2, Poke Ball x2

Starmie Ex's zero-cost retreat allows for quick Gyarados Ex deployment. Vaporeon facilitates efficient energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. This deck offers a more aggressive playstyle.
