It seems like the Gyarados ability actually looks at all energy in play and discards one at random. Meaning the 4 on Gyrados is going contribute alot to that total in most board states.
I've been enjoying an Event Mankey+Fight Back Primeape/Marshadow deck! It also has a Chatot in it, though I'm not certain about that one. Just made it today, but it seems strong! Wanted to share it. Also, less strong but I've been enjoying it - Melmetals and Butterfrees. It does get me wins sometimes! Like 1/3, 1/4. But it's always lots of fun when it does work!
Yes, starmie works decent. I haven’t pulled gyarados ex yet. Was trying a similar deck list last night with regular gyarados, then tried adding starmie instead of articuno. The new magikarp is absolutely necessary for this to work in either variant.
To add the starmie I ran just 1 copy each of Sabrina, and Leaf. 2 Articuno obviously also removed too for staryu. The rest of the deck list was the same. I agree just 1 eevee, with 2 vape is the best way to get consistent basic draws.
I would use 2 Druddigon 2 Greninja line for the other stall support. They can wear down cards while you stall and also they aren't EX, saving you points.
I had solid success on my wife’s account with a Starmie EX + Gyarados EX version of this deck. (She likes collecting more than playing, so I play the events to get her more packs haha). With limited testing, it felt like maybe you only need one Magikarp, as opposed to one Eevee. 1. Eevee’s high roll potential sets her apart as a pretty great basic, and the deck feels like the early Vaporeon is what makes it work. 2. Magikarp lives up to its reputation of being the absolute worst. I hilariously lost a match on turn 2 where Magikarp was my only basic and my opponent played Gio on a simple 20 damage attack.
I have yet to lose using Starmie EX + Gyarados EX + Vaporeon. It’s just insane. Destroys Celebi, MewTwo and dark decks. Just depends on who gets their stuff online first/who gets to go second to attack first against Pika EX but feels good as long as you’re second.
I agree with Giovani over Potion. I split the stall pokemon between one Articuno EX and one Lapras. I know everyone is high on the Drudiggon x Greninja shell for this deck, but it just feels better elsewhere for me.

I am playing gyarados with greninja and druddigon and 18-0 for me. I roasted every celebi, pikachu etc.
Same
Did you use greninja?
I use druddigon instead of articuno ex for stall
good idea

Anyone mind explaining what he meant when he said order your stuff from the playstore ?
I miss one gyarados for this deck 😭
I run 1 giovani (instead of 2 Sabrina) to counter Mewtwo decks
The best version is with Greninja and Duddrigon!
I've been using this deck for a minute. Love this deck!
Misty rarely hit for me. I’m about to take her out too
Still rely on misty, but much more flexible. Interesting
Still haven't pulled a Gyarados.. 🥲
M missing Mew Ex..
Got 1 Gyarados 2 mews and 2 celebi 3 Pidgeot
I have 6 Areo EX and cant get second Gyarados. This is pain
Same buddy, want to build this deck so badly
Me too😢 I got 3 celebies
I have 3 golden Mew ex cards... and I still haven't gotten a regular Pidgeot ex..
