Deck Primer

Strategy: Grand Tree helps get Gyarados's out early on, or Dusknoirs, or even a Baxcalibur. Use Dusknoir to nuke your opponent to then use Gyarados's second attack to one shot them. Artazon helps search out your Pokémon a bit earlier on and allows you to view your deck. Budew helps item-lock them to slow them down while you prepare your set up. Baxcalibur is here for Gyarados's high energy cost. The heavy baton's help keep energy into play in case a Gyarados ex gets knocked out. Turo

Baxcalibur is here for Gyarados's high energy cost. The heavy baton's help keep energy into play in case a Gyarados ex gets knocked out. Turo helps remove damage off of a Gyarados to stop a KO or removes a liability. Briar helps as a late game supporter to help Gyarados win the game by taking 3 prizes or 2 if it's single prizer in the active. Anyways, feel free to make any changes or leave any suggestions!

Edit #1: Removed a copy of Nest Ball for a copy of Earthen Vessel. This change was suggested by @Waffle Enthusiast.

Interesting list, however I'd recommend you add in a copy of Earthen Vessel as it seems like it relies too much on top decking the energies.
