     With Clawitzer you can power up this beast on 1 turn.

       Care to explain?

       Clawitzer is a Stage 1. M Gyarados-EX is a Mega Evolution. Both can hit the field in a single turn with Archie’s Ace in the Hole or Wally, but not both. With fantastic draws you could try to Wally an Gyarados-EX into an M Gyarados-EX (with Gyarados Spirit Link) and then manually attach one Energy while using Mega Turbo for more to get it attacking in T2 (you just can’t attack T1 anyway).

         You actually can’t Wally a Gyarados-EX into a M Gyarados-EX as Wally doesn’t work on EX Cards. You could however, as you previously said, Archie into M Gyarados and just attach DCE + Mega Turbo 2 Basics or attach DCE then play a bench basic, Max Elixir twice, Energy Switch twice for KO.

           Thanks!

           I never seem to forget in a match, but for some reason every now and then when discussing Wally, I have a brain fart and think it works on Pokémon-EX. >_<

         What I meant is that its possible to get all the energy needed on 1 turn. That would make its realistic to go from an benched Gyarados-EX without energy to an attacking M Gyarados-EX on 1 turn which should make Lysandre an much smaller threat. (I see that achildrenscardgame was talking about the anime, but Lysandre is still an issue for Megas)

     What does Lysandre have to do with it? M Gyarados-EX Mega Evolves from Gyarados-EX, not a Magikarp. M Gyarados-EX isn’t relying on an effect that you need to get around like say Jolteon-EX either. You can try to prevent any supporting cards from setting up but M Gyarados-EX doesn’t look like it would take all that long to manually set up either.

       I was thinking the most recent XY&Z episodes in which Lysandre reveals his second Pokemon which [SPOILER] is not just a Mega Gyarados as in the games, but a Shiny Mega Gyarados.

         Thank you for explaining! As someone who no longer watches the animation, I was unaware of this. So I thought you meant the card “Lysandre”. This is why I annoy people on most forums by italicizing card names, so people can tell. Except that only works if people know how I write. I don’t know how to do that on Disqus, nor am I advising you should do that. ;)
