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-tier Glaceon Ex deck strategies.
Recommended Glaceon Ex Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket
Glaceon Ex boasts a 90-damage Freezing Wind attack. However, its real power lies in its Snowy Terrain ability, inflicting 10 damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon during each Pokémon Checkup while it's active. A Pokémon Checkup happens at the start of each player's turn, effectively dealing 20 passive damage per round. This makes Glaceon Ex a surprisingly versatile addition to several Water-type decks.
Starmie Ex (Water Energy) Deck
This deck focuses on aggressive attacks using Starmie Ex and Glaceon Ex's passive damage.
- 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
The low retreat costs of Starmie Ex (zero) and Glaceon Ex (one) allow for easy switching and energy manipulation using Dawn and Vaporeon's Wash Out ability. Vaporeon allows you to strategically shift Water energy to your Active Pokémon, powering up Palkia Ex's game-winning Dimensional Storm. Misty adds a chance for lucky wins, and Irida, a new Supporter from Triumphant Light, heals all Pokémon with attached Water energy for a significant 40 HP.
Greninja (Water Energy) Deck
This deck utilizes chip damage from both Greninja's Water Shuriken and Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain for a powerful combined effect.
- 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
Prioritize assembling a Greninja line quickly using Pokémon Communication. Glaceon Ex and Irida provide sustained damage and crucial healing. Misty offers additional win conditions, and Palkia Ex acts as a powerful energy sink.
These two decks showcase Glaceon Ex's adaptability. Irida's inclusion further enhances its versatility within the flexible Water-type energy archetype. Expect to see more Glaceon Ex strategies emerge!
