• Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo

Gyarados Ex Deck Strategies

Gyarados Ex boasts 180 HP, withstanding attacks from Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. Its "Rampaging Whirlpool" attack (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy) discards a random energy from all Pokémon and deals 140 damage. This, combined with a Giovanni, easily KOs those Pokémon. Even without Giovanni, strategic chip damage makes Gyarados Ex an effective finisher.

Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo Deck

This deck focuses on building up both Greninja and Gyarados Ex, using Druddigon (100 HP) as a defensive and chip-damage attacker. While Druddigon stalls, Greninja adds more chip damage, serving as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex then delivers the knockout blow.

Deck List:

• Froakie x2
• Frogadier x2
• Greninja x2
• Druddigon x2
• Magikarp x2
• Gyarados Ex x2
• Misty x2
• Leaf x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poké Ball x2

Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo Deck

For a faster strategy, this deck replaces Greninja with Vaporeon and Starmie Ex. Gyarados Ex remains the finisher, while Starmie Ex (with its free retreat) and Vaporeon (for energy manipulation) act as initial attackers. This deck's strength is its flexibility; Starmie Ex ensures Gyarados Ex is always ready when needed, and Vaporeon eliminates energy setup delays.

Deck List:

• Magikarp x2
• Gyarados Ex x2
• Eevee (Mythical Island) x2
• Vaporeon (Mythical Island) x2
• Staryu x2
• Starmie Ex x2
• Misty x2
• Sabrina
• Giovanni
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poké Ball x2
