How to get Mega Gyarados ex
Choose the Mega Gyarados booster within Mega Rising; the pack name is more specific than the expansion name. Match B1 and collector number 52 when checking the card. The denominator 226 is its printed standard-set numbering, not a total including secret cards. A later expansion containing the same Pokémon name can be a separate effect or a reprint. Use the table to compare pack availability before spending resources on a particular booster.
Mega Gyarados packs in Mega Rising (B1); B4b Deluxe Pack: Mega also contains a reprint.
How this Mega Gyarados ex printing works
Mega Blaster deals 140 damage and removes the top three cards of the opposing deck. That discard changes the remaining resources, but is not a guaranteed victory route. Its 210 HP is balanced by the Mega Evolution ex knockout rule: losing it awards three points to the opponent.
Mega Evolution ex Water attacker with 210 HP; introduced in Mega Rising and reprinted in Deluxe Pack: Mega (B4b).
Deck choices and printing differences
Use the Water deck library and budget lists to compare support cards. These are browsing routes, not a claim that every deck includes this printing. Exact inclusion is established by the 20-card lists and their cited sources.
The printing table separates collector records, including alternate artwork where the database records it separately. A repeated name alone does not establish an identical attack or Ability. Match set, number, and printed effect before substituting cards. For rarity restrictions and eligibility, see the trading guide; being listed in a pack does not guarantee that every version can be traded.
