Leafeon EX: Mastering the Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket
The Generation IV Eeveelutions, Leafeon and Glaceon, are the first to receive EX forms in Pokémon TCG Pocket. While both are formidable, this guide focuses on optimizing Leafeon EX. Here are the top-performing Leafeon EX decks.

Leafeon EX's power doesn't lie in its Solar Beam attack (70 damage for 3 Grass energy), but in its potent Forest Breath ability. This ability lets you attach a Grass energy to a Grass-type Pokémon when Leafeon EX is active.
This synergizes exceptionally well with Celebi EX, creating a powerful combination.
Celebi EX (Grass Energy) Deck
This deck utilizes the following card composition:
- 2x Eevee (Space-Time Smackdown)
- 2x Leafeon EX
- 2x Celebi EX
- 2x Professor’s Research
- 2x Dawn
- 2x Erika
- 1x Sabrina
- 2x Giant’s Cape
- 2x Poké Ball
- 2x Potion
- 1x Pokémon Communication
The strategy centers on activating Leafeon EX, maintaining its survival with Giant’s Cape, Erika, and Potions, while simultaneously powering up both Leafeon EX and Celebi EX using Forest Breath. Leafeon EX's 140 HP allows it to withstand attacks long enough to retreat and swap with a fully charged Celebi EX. Strategic energy allocation is key—prioritizing Celebi EX when necessary. Dawn can further boost Celebi EX's power. This approach builds upon successful Exeggutor EX strategies, but offers greater scaling potential.
Yanmega EX (Grass Energy) Deck
An alternative strategy pairs Leafeon EX with Yanmega EX:
- 2x Eevee (Space-Time Smackdown)
- 2x Leafeon EX
- 2x Yanma
- 2x Yanmega EX
- 2x Professor’s Research
- 2x Dawn
- 2x Erika
- 2x Giant’s Cape
- 2x Potion
- 2x Pokémon Communication
Yanmega EX's Air Slash (120 damage for 3 Colorless energy, discarding an energy afterward) benefits from Leafeon EX's energy-boosting ability, allowing for consecutive attacks. Erika keeps both Pokémon (140 HP each) alive, while 2x Giant’s Cape pushes their HP above 150. This deck employs a fast-paced, aggressive strategy that could potentially outperform prevalent Exeggutor EX decks.
While other combinations, such as Venusaur EX, are possible, the Celebi EX and Yanmega EX decks represent the most effective strategies for maximizing Leafeon EX's potential in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
Pokémon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
