Gyarados Ex: A Force to be Reckoned With

Gyarados Ex boasts impressive stats: 180 HP, making it resilient against powerful Pokémon 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 its high HP, makes it a formidable finisher.

Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo: A Strategic Approach

This deck utilizes a calculated 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, chipping away at opponent's health while you build up Greninja for additional damage. Greninja serves as a secondary attacker, providing crucial damage before Gyarados Ex delivers the knockout blow.

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

For a faster, more versatile strategy, consider this alternative:

• 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 free retreat allows for strategic Gyarados Ex deployment, while Vaporeon facilitates efficient Energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. This deck prioritizes speed and adaptability.

These two strategies represent the current meta for optimal Gyarados Ex deck building in Pokémon TCG Pocket. For further Pokémon TCG Pocket insights, including updated deck tier lists, check out The Escapist.
