• Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo

Gyarados Ex: A Powerful Asset

Gyarados Ex boasts impressive stats: 180 HP, making it resilient against 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, especially when paired with a Giovanni.

Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo: A Strategic Approach

This deck utilizes a synergistic 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

Strategy: Druddigon, with its 100 HP, acts as a sturdy defender and inflicts chip damage. Greninja provides additional chip damage and serves as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex finishes off opponents weakened by the chip damage strategy.

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

This deck prioritizes speed and adaptability:

• 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

Strategy: Starmie Ex's free retreat allows for flexible switching to Gyarados Ex. Vaporeon facilitates efficient Energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. This deck offers greater versatility and faster gameplay.
