Pokemon TCG Pocket Best Gyarados Ex Decks

Gyarados Ex boasts impressive stats and abilities that make it a formidable card:

• 180 HP
• Rampaging Whirlpool (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy): Discard a random Energy from all Pokemon (both yours and your opponent’s). Inflicts 140 damage.
• Weak to Lightning
• 3 Retreat Cost

Gyarados Ex stands out in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* due to its robust HP pool. With 180 HP, it can withstand attacks from heavy hitters like Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. When combined with Giovanni, Gyarados Ex can easily knock out these opponents. Even without Giovanni, various tools can help you accumulate chip damage, making Gyarados Ex an excellent finisher for a Water-based deck.

Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo

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

In this deck, your strategy revolves around developing both Greninja and Gyarados Ex while Druddigon holds the Active slot. Druddigon acts as a sturdy wall with 100 HP and inflicts chip damage without needing Energy, giving you time to set up your main attackers. As Druddigon stalls, you can enhance Greninja to deal additional chip damage and serve as a primary attacker if necessary. Once prepared, Gyarados Ex can deliver a devastating final blow, wiping out most opponents weakened by the accumulated damage.

Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo

• 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

For a more dynamic gameplay, consider this deck with Vaporeon and Starmie Ex instead of the Greninja line. Here, Gyarados Ex remains your finisher, while Starmie Ex and Vaporeon take the role of initial attackers. The deck's strength lies in its flexibility. Starmie Ex can retreat at no cost, allowing you to switch in Gyarados Ex at your convenience. Vaporeon assists in redistributing Energy, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack without losing turns to setup.
