Deck Traits

Gyarados ex Deck - Pros / Cons

Powerful 4-cost Attack

Gyarados ex is a strong card that can potentially deal 140 damage repeatedly. This attack can OHKO both Mew ex and Celebi ex, which often allows you to pivot the match in your favor.

Energy discard drawback

The energy discarding effect of Gyarados ex's attack can sometimes remove energy from your opponents, but you also run the risk of discarding energy from your own Pokemon. This can sometimes make it difficult to perform continuous attacks since you may run out of energy.

Accelerate Energy with Misty

A big appeal of the Gyarados deck is that it can make use of the Misty support card. Since a major weakness of the deck is collecting enough energy, Misty can offset this weakness by relying in player luck.

Slow Attacker

Gyarados ex requires an expensive 4 Energy to use its only attack, so it can rarely be used as an opening Pokemon. Mew ex and Budding Expeditioner are included in the deck to stall the match for as long as possible.
