Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex made their exciting debut as EX cards in the *Pokémon TCG Pocket* Triumphant Light expansion. Let's explore some top-performing Glaceon Ex decks.
Recommended Glaceon Ex Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket
Glaceon Ex boasts a 90-damage Freezing Wind attack, but its real power lies in its Snowy Terrain ability. This ability inflicts 10 damage on your opponent's Active Pokémon during each Pokémon Checkup if Glaceon Ex is active. A Pokémon Checkup happens at the start of each player's turn, effectively dealing 20 damage per round. This consistent chip damage makes Glaceon Ex a valuable asset in several Water-type decks.
Starmie Ex (Water Energy) Deck
This deck focuses on a fast and aggressive strategy.
- 2x Eevee
- 2x Glaceon Ex
- 1x Vaporeon (Mythical Island)
- 2x Staryu
- 2x Starmie Ex
- 1x Palkia Ex
- 2x Professor’s Research
- 2x Dawn
- 2x Irida
- 2x Misty
- 2x Poké Ball
This deck utilizes Starmie Ex's zero retreat cost and Glaceon Ex's low retreat cost for easy switching and energy sharing, facilitated by Dawn and Vaporeon's Wash Out ability (allowing Water energy shifting). Palkia Ex provides a powerful finisher with Dimensional Storm. Misty offers a chance for lucky wins, while Irida (a new Supporter from Triumphant Light) heals Water-energized Pokémon for 40 HP.
Greninja (Water Energy) Deck
This deck employs a different approach, combining chip damage from Greninja and Glaceon Ex.
- 2x Eevee
- 2x Glaceon Ex
- 2x Froakie
- 2x Frogadier
- 2x Greninja
- 1x Palkia Ex
- 2x Professor’s Research
- 2x Irida
- 2x Misty
- 2x Poké Ball
- 1x Pokémon Communication
This deck aims for consistent chip damage with Greninja's Water Shuriken and Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain, totaling 40 passive damage per turn with both active. Pokémon Communication helps quickly assemble a Greninja line, while Irida provides crucial healing. Misty offers additional win potential, and Palkia Ex serves as an energy sink for powerful attacks.
These two decks highlight Glaceon Ex's versatility. Irida's inclusion makes it even more potent in the flexible Water-type energy archetype. Expect to see more Glaceon Ex strategies in the future.
Pokémon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
