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:

• 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 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.
