The SECRET Behind Gyarados EX's EXPLOSIVE POWER! | Pokemon Pocket Mythical Island Best Gyarados Deck

[@raz1572]

I think gyarados will be short lived. That being said, the expansion has exceeded my expectations for evolving the meta. Was expecting a bunch of shiny things that just fell flat at the feet of pikachu and mewtwo.

Love these kind of videos man. Great job. This cards here to stay. It’s just too thick

[@mkk3D]

Thx for great work with your content on two of my favourite games ❤

[@muhammadhamza1139]

Thanks for actually making the video. Very enjoyable. In terms of the deck, I think the reason why its doing well is that it occupies a perfect spot in the metagame, being able to easy kill celebi and pika decks, while also playing well into the mewtwo deck. When the metagame eventually evolves tho, im not sure we'll see this card being a mainstay - imo, it isn't that strong in itself.

[@aopndgaming7567]

the reason Gyarados is being so good IMO is very simple. it survives the one most consistant 1 shot move from the highest tier of play (AKA Mewtwo 150 dmg) and can deal nearly as much dmg in return (killing the likes of Pikachu and Celebi in one shot) pair it with Druddigon and or Greninja for that little chip DMG you need to knock off Mewtwo and you have a really good bulky and offensive pokemon that is really easy to get out (stage 1 evo).

New KM video - 😦 It's a meta based conversation - 😲 IT'S OVER 45 MINUTES LONG! - 🤯

[@Prolifix_OG]

I think the karp weakness is exactly why the vaporoen version will end up the better build. Keeps you from putting energy on the karp until needed

[@DapumaAZ]

It’s pretty shocking how many times people play Sabrina poorly That should be a video I win so much due to terrible Sabrina play - just the poor play alone should make people run one of so they think about it Just because it’s in your hand doesn’t mean you need to use it

[@jasimon951]

Count me as one of the people who thought Druddigon would be amazing but still somehow underestimated how impactful it would be on the metagame

[@Sl0b0nMyBob7]

Try this deck i made its unique and powerful. Its water fire. DECK LIST: 2x Druddigon 2x Sizzlipede 2x Centiskorch 2x Magikarp 2x Gyarados EX 1x Articuno EX 1x Moltres EX 2x Pokeball 2x Professors Research 2x Misty 2x Leaf

And very helpful

[@chilldude012]

Water decks being meta is not something that i’d like to see as long as misty works the way it does. Misty already wins games high rolling on bad decks; on a good deck, 1 good coinflip from misty is enough to close the game

[@sgtadhesive9044]

12:12 opponents' red card the best card in your deck

[@Grim_medic]

New vaporian is so fun with it

[@sonofalich1825]

Every time I see this deck, I think it should run fire to use Dread as an alt win con - but then I wonder how often the dual energy would screw over an assured win vs provide a viable route… And with Misty, Energy requirements, the random energy generation, the return of investment (3 for 90/4 for 140) makes me pretty sure I would be touching on needing Calc for the answer and… I’m too lazy to do calc unless I’m being paid to do it. 😅 So pure water it is, I guess! ☺️

[@AdvaitChatterji]

Gyarados was really shit on when it was revealed lol, and I'm not gonna lie I felt it might be slightly underpowered (not in damage) as well due to its energy discard having a possibility to hit itself. However, having played the deck over the course of this weekend after I saw that it was doing well, I was pleasantly surprised. Of course it bricks like most other decks and if you run into a Pikachu EX using Blitzle or that Golem deck which runs Hitmonlee they just snipe your Magikarp off the bench and you die lol. But yeah, being a huge fan of Gyarados as a Pokémon, I'm glad it's doing well! Edit: I think Blastoise isn't too bad right now either. I played Blastoise with Druddigon in the 45 win Event and went 14/11 over 25 games with it. Decklist - 2x of Squirtle, Wartortle, Blastoise EX, and Druddigon. 2x of Oak, Pokéball, Potion, Misty, and Leaf with 1x of Giovanni (for something like Pidgeot EX or the 50/70 HP breakpoints on basics and stage 1s) and 1x Sabrina.

[@2BluntsLater]

I run lumieon instead of drud to knock out magi carp and other pals.

[@2BluntsLater]

Making it better tonight. I dropped 1 basic Fineon keeping 2 Lumineon, chatot in, dropped 2 Sabrina for 2 fossils as well (you discard these so they don’t keep cycling cards you don’t want to get it. Really makes Blastoise Faster

[@2BluntsLater]

Oh I don’t run a potion This is the Blastoise line 1 pokeball, 1 leaf, 2 misty, 2 Oak, 2 Pokeball (thinking about going for 1 and replace with another fossil might be faster) Godspeed The Lumineon should take care of pidgy basic btw (and Giovani doesn’t help attacking benches, only active)

[@2BluntsLater]

Oh and wait to use oak until you got your basic / and 1/2 stage 1 Pokémon.

[@DapumaAZ]

Does blue stop hit from doing 30? Could go carp blue then evolve next turn

[@KMPocket]

actually yes

[@DapumaAZ]

@@KMPocket what is the best cut to get two blue into the deck - do you really need Sabrina in deck when you are hitting for 140 and have all that tank ability - in your reworked deck perhaps drop sabrina and potion for two blue ? - much harder to fit in the greninja deck

[@WildspeakerYT]

Am I the only one hearing "Radagon" instead of Druddigon?

[@KMPocket]

did you say "marika"?

[@WildspeakerYT]

@KMPocket not this rabbithole agaiiiin

[@spencermargenna]

I believe that one adaptation garydos players can make to the deck is running blue. They have to be disciplined at benching there magikarp to when they have the garydos in hand with blue to survive one snipe before evolving.

[@rezzytheskyguy]

GyaraDOGE is crazy

[@mangg3328]

greninja line is super strong what are you even talking about. its a great backup plan

[@KMPocket]

its a stage 2 evolution. that's a lot of devotion to a backup plan

[@griffinclavano6929]

Gyarados without greninja is much better

[@KMPocket]

yeah thats what i get to about 9 minutes or so in

[@Awlansee]

How are you damaging the mewtwos and charizards with 140 damage

[@griffinclavano6929]

@@Awlansee giovanni and drud lapras and you can run Sabrina’s and Giovannis now without the 6 Pokémon’s (greninja line). Trust me… so much better. Try it urself

[@griffinclavano6929]

It’s a 90% winrate against those 2 decks lol.

[@ant-onemusic444]

Gyarados without greninja is way less effective against mewtwo... Just don't hit the wall and wait to ramp

[@spencermargenna]

I think if they don’t run a greninja line they are required to include giovanis to keep the mewtwo matchup good for sure. I think the greninja is currently the best of the matchups I play.

[@lucifer-ygo9793]

The Secret is Misty and pure luck Gyarados is one of the worst EX Pokemon we have

[@michaelbesser5348]

I'm sorry, but I can't agree with this at all. Gyarados is really good itself. It kills nearly everything with chip from either Druddigon or Greninja while being incredibly tanky itself. The deck's big weakness is Magikarp having 30 hp, which is really bad because the backline snipers seem to hit 30 damage exactly.

[@e3vL1]

Too dependant on the start of the match. If you have magicarp as only active with no bench you're screwed

[@e3vL1]

Also Misty flips
