• Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo

Gyarados Ex: A Powerful Force

Gyarados Ex boasts 180 HP, resistance to Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex attacks. Its "Rampaging Whirlpool" (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy) attack discards a random energy from all Pokémon, then deals 140 damage. This makes it a formidable finisher, especially when combined with strategic chip damage.

Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo Deck

This deck utilizes a strategic approach:

• Froakie x2
• Frogadier x2
• Greninja x2
• Druddigon x2
• Magikarp x2
• Gyarados Ex x2
• Misty x2
• Leaf x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poke Ball x2

Druddigon (100 HP) serves as a sturdy defender and inflicts chip damage without energy investment. Greninja provides additional chip damage and can function as a primary attacker if needed. Gyarados Ex delivers the knockout blow once sufficient damage has been accumulated.

Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo Deck

For a faster-paced strategy, consider this alternative:

• Magikarp x2
• Gyarados Ex x2
• Eevee (Mythical Island) x2
• Vaporeon (Mythical Island) x2
• Staryu x2
• Starmie Ex x2
• Misty x2
• Sabrina
• Giovanni
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poke Ball x2

Starmie Ex's zero-cost retreat allows for flexible Gyarados Ex deployment. Vaporeon facilitates energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. Both Starmie Ex and Vaporeon act as effective early-game attackers.
