Gyarados Ex: A Force to be Reckoned With

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. This high HP and potent attack, combined with strategic support cards, make Gyarados Ex a devastating finisher.

Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo: A Strategic Approach

This deck utilizes a synergistic combination of Gyarados Ex and Greninja:

• Pokémon: Froakie x2, Frogadier x2, Greninja x2, Druddigon x2, Magikarp x2, Gyarados Ex x2
• Trainer Cards: Misty x2, Leaf x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2

This strategy centers on Druddigon as a sturdy defender (100 HP) that inflicts chip damage, buying time to power up Greninja for additional chip damage and potential attacks. Gyarados Ex then delivers the knockout blow once the opponent's Pokémon are weakened.

Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo: Speed and Versatility

For a faster, more flexible approach, consider this alternative:

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

Here, Starmie Ex's costless retreat allows for strategic Gyarados Ex deployment, while Vaporeon facilitates efficient Energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to strike. This deck prioritizes speed and adaptability.

These two strategies represent the current peak of Gyarados Ex deck building in Pokémon TCG Pocket. For more in-depth Pokémon TCG Pocket strategies and deck analysis, including our regularly updated tier list, visit The Escapist.
