* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}''' - Uxie is in the deck for simple drawpower. Its ''Set Up'' Poké-Power allows the player to draw until they have seven cards in their hand. | * '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}''' - Uxie is in the deck for simple drawpower.

* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}''' - Pokémon Collector is used to search whatever Basic Pokémon the decks needs at a given time out of the deck. It can be used with Sableye's ''Impersonate,'' making it a fairly easy card to access. Early in the game, Pokémon Collector can search for one Regice and two Magikarp, allowing for their immediate discard with ''Regi Move''. It is a very versatile card that is absolutely crucial in modern Gyarados builds. | * '''{{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}''' - Pokémon Collector is used to search whatever Basic Pokémon the decks needs at a given time out of the deck.

Junk Arm allows the player to discard two Magikarp from his or her hand in order to retrieve a Trainer card from the discard pile.

* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Rescue}}''', '''{{TCG|Rescue Energy}}''', and '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Combee|57}} ''' - Pokémon Rescue, Rescue Energy, and Combee all serve the same purpose. All three are used to easily recover Magikarp and Gyarados when they are knocked out. Since the deck does not rely on energy cards to attack, a knocked out Gyarados with Rescue Energy attached can be returned to the hand and played down again immediately, if {{TCG|Broken Time-Space}} is in play, ready to attack. Combee is very useful if the player is Trainer-locked with {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Vileplume|24}} or Spiritomb. Since Combee's ''Honey'' effect is ''not'' a Poké-Power, a Power Spray ''cannot'' be used against it. | * '''{{TCG|Pokémon Rescue}}''', '''{{TCG|Rescue Energy}}''', and '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Combee|57}} ''' - Pokémon Rescue, Rescue Energy, and Combee all serve the same purpose.
