  • Best Gyarados Ex Decks
  • Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo
  • Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo

Gyarados Ex Overview

Gyarados Ex boasts 180 HP, resisting attacks from Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. Its "Rampaging Whirlpool" (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy) attack discards a random Energy from all Pokémon and deals 140 damage. This makes it a formidable finisher, especially with a Giovanni's support.

Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo

This deck utilizes a stall-and-finish strategy:

  • 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 (100 HP) acts as a sturdy defender, chipping away at opponent's health. Greninja provides additional chip damage and serves as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex delivers the knockout blow once enough damage has been inflicted.

Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo

This deck prioritizes speed and versatility:

  • 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 flexible Gyarados Ex deployment. Vaporeon facilitates efficient Energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. Gyarados Ex remains the powerful finisher.

These two decks represent the current top strategies for utilizing Gyarados Ex in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Check out The Escapist for more Pokémon TCG Pocket guides and our regularly updated deck tier list.
