People are misunderstanding how gyarados discards energy, he selects a random energy not a random pokemon, so basically if you have 4 and they have 2-3 for example, you have the higher chance of losing energy because you have the higher amount of energy
And since you're more than likely knocking out a poke with his attack, you remove the the energy attached to it from the equation, so it will almost always be higher on Gyarados XD
This has been great to play. Had some very interesting and close games. Dual Greninja's doing 80 damage over 2 turns as well. MvP is the new Magikarp, keeping that energy and swapping to Drudgigon is so nice, that you don't even care that the deck runs two Misty Supporter cards that read: "This card does nothing"
Can confirm it isn’t just Gyarados that it takes energy from. I went up against a gyarados and it kept discarding energy from my dragonite. Very frustrating for me.
Gyarados is a Top 3 deck rn imo, it has a good matchup against most of the meta decks It has like a 70-30 matchup against Mewtwo because Mewtwo has no way of one shotting Gyara while Gyara has numerous ways to, and it also always one shots Mew EX It can also oneshot Celebi so its gg if you get Gyara online relatively quickly It even has a decent chance against non-Zebstrika Pikachu decks since Pikachu also has no way of oneshotting Gyara, Zapdos technically can but Zapdos needs 4 heads
Top 3 deck if you can get to a gyarados with 4 water energy on turn 4 without the opponent setting up properly or sweeping. I like the deck but calm down lol.
@@jeremyexpiritu5668 unless you get a horrible start most of the time you can stall for long enough to get Gyara online even without Misty... if you're saying it's bad because you get swept if you get a bad start, that applies to literally every deck, Mewtwo is considered the best deck atm and I've lost because of bad starts with it so many times
sometimes when Gyarados discard it's own energy could be blessinh my Alakazam almost nuke it with 4 energy (180) due to energy discarded, it's only 3 (150)
I've been able to win with Misty literally giving me nothing in nearly every single battle, replacing her with Giovanni made the deck even more killer.
Typing this halfway through the video so maybe it happens later, but the Gyarados attack can discard an energy from the mon being KOd if it has energy attached.
just finished my 45 wins yesterday with something similar but I use Drud as the core damage with others as chip damage, pokemon list is: 2 Greninja, 2 Salazzle, 1 Drud, water/fire energy, feels fast and consistent rushing the event
@@junkai6877 sure thing. 2 salandit(old), 2 salazzle(new), 2 froakie, 2 frogadier, 2 greninja, 1 drud, 2 x speed, 2 pokeball, 2 research, 1 gio, 1 leaf, 1 sab. It plays with pivot and chip damage, also abusing weakness interaction. It also plays a bit of math which the enemy does not expect with poison/shuriken and baiting their pivot.
I use this deck..and my man..its good seriously..haha i.run celebi ex deck....it really based.on luck..but using this deck.....when your graydos rdy..auto win..
First lol nub, second u have to run a blue for gyrados not to one shot if they giovanni. In this particularly deck tho if u cant kill em fast enough and they get greninja its prob gg
The main counter I'm seeing to this is hitmonlee. That 30 damage to the bench is very menacing to magikarp, I've had a few games end by turn 3 due to him.
Would you consider one Articuno EX to synergize with the bench sniping and take out either one Drud or one Misty? Misty like 85 percent of the time is just a wasted card slot.
Essentially this game is nothing more than luck. I get it has to have some luck but it relies way too heavily on luck. He got three straight heads and only needed one more out of his remaining 3. Everything is reliant on coin flips.
I don’t like the deck. U need to have luck with a Misty and if u get always fire energy, u can’t even build energy on gyrados. It’s so annoying. I think it’s not consistent enough to be called new meta
People are misunderstanding how gyarados discards energy, he selects a random energy not a random pokemon, so basically if you have 4 and they have 2-3 for example, you have the higher chance of losing energy because you have the higher amount of energy
ahhh that makes more sense now lol
@ I just learned I’ve been reading it wrong this whole time myself today 😂
I got rid of two energy in a row from a Dragonite stacking up in the bench, they were stuck at 1 energy 😂
I was thinking it was it discards 1 energy from ALL pokemon and it was fucking busted, as in each go down by 1
And since you're more than likely knocking out a poke with his attack, you remove the the energy attached to it from the equation, so it will almost always be higher on Gyarados XD
Gyarados' ability actually can work on the fainted active pokemon. itll discard the energy first before removing the active pokemon from the spot

Miss ty
Bro I got a 9 roll once and I think it drained all my future luck with misty 💀
you know what else does 80 damage over 2 turns? my eevee with consecutive steps landing 2 heads in a row
Man i just had a 5 lose streak where my misty did nothing
When using Greninja you gotta run the promo so you can make them face two ways on the bench
XDD

This deck is so cracked I got 10 consecutive wins back to back putting me in sliver for this current event
I'm surprised people were sleeping on Gyarados ex at all, it's very consistent with Druddigon and Greninja.

@@jeremyexpiritu5668he’s right, it is top 3. It’s really good.
I prefer vaporeon version with misty even tho people say greninja is better
Unfortunately this deck loses to Sabrina
@@jeremyexpiritu5668 wow if the opponent gets a perfect setup they win? i didnt consider this downside, this deck sucks!

Thank you for this deck! I’ve been destroying Celebi EX decks with it.
sometimes when Gyarados discard it's own energy could be blessinh
my Alakazam almost nuke it with 4 energy (180)
due to energy discarded, it's only 3 (150)
That's crazy 😮
Pokémon ability activates first before the Pokémon is fainted. I run 1 leaf and 1 Giovanni. Giovanni lets you one shot Mewtwo.
Og tauros has been smacking me through people running energyless drudigon
DeNA, please allow me to name my deck Gyarados EX... otherwise censor the card too
Gyarado* **
How about Z-ex?
How about ex gyarados?
@@daigustoemeral3710 Sexyarados
I've been able to win with Misty literally giving me nothing in nearly every single battle, replacing her with Giovanni made the deck even more killer.
I can't decide which deck is stronger, this one or with Vaporeon. Both are very good!
I’ve been seeing the Gyarados, vaporeon deck with Starmie EX over Drud working amazingly well!
Typing this halfway through the video so maybe it happens later, but the Gyarados attack can discard an energy from the mon being KOd if it has energy attached.
Just wanna say that yes, an energy can actually be discarded from the fainted Pokémon
i love this new gyarados ex deck, what your opinion of using 1 leaf and 1 sabrina?
Call it Fish N' Chip!
just finished my 45 wins yesterday with something similar but I use Drud as the core damage with others as chip damage, pokemon list is: 2 Greninja, 2 Salazzle, 1 Drud, water/fire energy, feels fast and consistent rushing the event
would love to try it out, but the RNG didn't let me pull the Stage 1 Greninja 😢
@alzathsweich brick happens sometimes, you can even have just froakie and all trainers 8 cards in hand. Its fun when it pops off though
Hi. May I get the full deck?
@@junkai6877 sure thing. 2 salandit(old), 2 salazzle(new), 2 froakie, 2 frogadier, 2 greninja, 1 drud, 2 x speed, 2 pokeball, 2 research, 1 gio, 1 leaf, 1 sab.

Gyarados can withstand more coinflips from Celebi 😂
I did a tourney yesterday and this got 1st and I know it's powerful and on paper it doesn't make sense to me but it is good.
Drudgeigon?
Yes. You need all the energy for Garydos. So Drudgigon can apply passive pressure until you've gotten Gary ready.
Alright, I will try Gyarados now 😈✨
I just run gyarados with tentacruel. Great duo
Been using them ever since the old gyarados
What a strong but unique water deck 👀
Cracked with drug digooooon
I use this deck..and my man..its good seriously..haha i.run celebi ex deck....it really based.on luck..but using this deck.....when your graydos rdy..auto win..
how did people think gyarados only removed energy from itself when it EXPLICITLY SAYS on the card that it includes your and your opponent's pokemon?
Do we really need Greninja? I'm testing one with Pigeot instead because of the extra board control.
Bro knows something we dont
Im running this same deck but with bruxish so i can run the fire energy for drudigon. Once i get A second gyardos ex maybe i will try this version.
I can't seem to defeat this deck using mew2 on the tournament. Any advice for the matchup?
First lol nub, second u have to run a blue for gyrados not to one shot if they giovanni. In this particularly deck tho if u cant kill em fast enough and they get greninja its prob gg
Run a blue. Blue Really helps the scolipede, mewtwo mirror, and this if they dont know you have it. Only one should be necessary to slap on.
There is a Mew Ex bug and I don’t know how to contact the devs
The main counter I'm seeing to this is hitmonlee. That 30 damage to the bench is very menacing to magikarp, I've had a few games end by turn 3 due to him.
I thinking the coin flip already determined the result no matter how you flip it
can confirm opp can lose energy finally saw it happen lol
Would you consider one Articuno EX to synergize with the bench sniping and take out either one Drud or one Misty? Misty like 85 percent of the time is just a wasted card slot.
Gyrados can remove an energy between ANY pokemon in play.
false can remove from bench pokemon
@devonsmith621 bro, reading must be hard. In play means everywhere in play... I didn't say active 🤣
that's not what 'paid actors' means
Bro talking about giving the deck a name like he made it 😂
Just tried it after seeing this vid and instant win first try lol
Update:
Just went 7-1 with 6 in a row wins only losing to celebi once
Met moltres arcanine ex w/ mew ex thrice and got 100% wr against them
I didn't got any gyarados ex yet 😢
Replace 1x Poke Ball for 1x Sabrina… Im telling you guys, its better!
I feel like the coin flipping in this game is atrocious
Essentially this game is nothing more than luck. I get it has to have some luck but it relies way too heavily on luck. He got three straight heads and only needed one more out of his remaining 3. Everything is reliant on coin flips.
high k golem deck is better than this misty is too inconsistent
Also bro it's dru-DI-gon. Theres no G
Drugigon!
You keep pronouncing Druddigon like Judge when it should be pronounced like Dredd
I don’t like the deck. U need to have luck with a Misty and if u get always fire energy, u can’t even build energy on gyrados. It’s so annoying. I think it’s not consistent enough to be called new meta
