One of the new ex cards that came with the latest set, Mythical Island, is Gyarados ex. Gyarados ex is one of the new cards that players should be looking forward to pulling in their packs, as it is another strong Water-type card with great potential in the game. Alongside other cards that already exist from the previous set, Genetic Apex, players can create a powerful deck with the new Water-type ex card.
Due to this new addition, you may want to utilize this ex card in a Water-type deck. Water-type decks are a popular type to battle with, as provides useful and often overpowered cards associated with that type. Other decks in the Water-type category, like Starmie ex decks and Articuno ex decks, have proven to be powerhouses within the game's battles. Building a Gyarados ex deck is something you should consider when collecting cards from Mythical Island.
The cards needed to build a deck around Gyarados are scattered around different available packs, but you will likely already have most of the recommended cards if you have been playing. To keep things simple and effective, using only two lines of Pokémon and having the rest of your deck built up of supporting Trainer cards can minimize any extra time it takes to push a battle into motion. To assist your Gyarados ex, a strong Water-type Pokémon to utilize is Greninja, which can damage your opponent's bench.
Deck building in Pokémon TCG Pocket can be easy, and you can make ones that are focused on easy-to-obtain cards so you do not have to spend a dime.
