Gyarados Ex: A Powerful Force
Gyarados Ex boasts 180 HP, withstanding attacks from powerful Pokémon like Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. Its "Rampaging Whirlpool" attack (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy) deals 140 damage and discards a random energy from all Pokémon. This high HP, combined with strategic chip damage, makes Gyarados Ex a formidable finisher.

Druddigon, with 100 HP, acts as a sturdy defender and inflicts chip damage. Greninja provides additional chip damage and serves as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex delivers the knockout blow once sufficient damage has been accumulated.
