Gyarados Ex: A Powerful Asset
Gyarados Ex boasts impressive stats: 180 HP, making it resilient against threats 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, combined with a Giovanni's ability to boost damage, makes it a formidable finisher.
1. Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo
This deck utilizes a strategic approach:
Druddigon acts as a sturdy 100 HP wall, dealing chip damage without energy investment. Greninja provides additional chip damage and serves as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex delivers the knockout blow once sufficient damage has been inflicted.
2. Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo
This deck prioritizes speed and versatility:
Starmie Ex's zero-cost retreat allows for flexible Gyarados Ex deployment. Vaporeon facilitates efficient energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is consistently ready for attack. This deck offers a more aggressive play style.
