• Best Gyarados Ex Decks
• Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo
• Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo

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) discards a random energy from all Pokémon, dealing 140 damage. Its weakness to Lightning should be considered when strategizing. The high HP and damage output make it a formidable finisher.

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 wall (100 HP) and inflicts 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 accumulated.

Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo

This deck offers a faster, more versatile playstyle:

• 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, Poké Ball x2

Starmie Ex's zero-cost retreat allows for quick Gyarados Ex deployment. Vaporeon facilitates energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. This deck prioritizes speed and consistent energy flow.

These two strategies represent the current meta for optimal Gyarados Ex usage in Pokémon TCG Pocket. For further Pokémon TCG Pocket strategies, including updated deck tier lists, check out [The Escapist](insert link here if available).
