With the release of the Triumphant Light expansion in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, two Eeveelutions have been spotlighted with the Ex treatment for the first time: Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex. Here's a deep dive into the best Glaceon Ex decks you can build to dominate your opponents.
Best Glaceon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Glaceon Ex is a powerhouse in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, dealing 90 damage with its Freezing Wind attack. However, its true strength lies in the Snowy Terrain ability. When Glaceon Ex is in the Active Spot, Snowy Terrain inflicts 10 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon during each Pokemon Checkup. What's a Pokemon Checkup? It's a phase at the beginning of each player's turn where the game checks for status conditions, making Snowy Terrain's effect a consistent 20 damage per round.
This ability makes Glaceon Ex a versatile addition to several Water type decks. Let's explore two of the best strategies:
Starmie Ex (Water Energy)
- 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 Poke Ball
This deck focuses on a quick offensive strategy, leveraging Starmie Ex's no retreat cost and Glaceon Ex's one retreat cost to seamlessly switch between them. With Dawn and a single Mythical Island Vaporeon's Wash Out ability, you can efficiently manage and share Water energy. Vaporeon's Wash Out lets you move as much Water energy as you want to your Active Pokemon, which is particularly useful with Palkia Ex's game-ending Dimensional Storm. Misty adds a chance for lucky flips to steal wins, and Irida heals all Pokemon with attached Water energy by a whopping 40 health, keeping your team in fighting shape.
Greninja (Water Energy)
- 2x Eevee
- 2x Glaceon Ex
- 2x Froakie
- 2x Frogadier
- 2x Greninja
- 1x Palkia Ex
- 2x Professor’s Research
- 2x Irida
- 2x Misty
- 2x Poke Ball
- 1x Pokemon Communication
This deck takes a different approach by capitalizing on chip damage. Combining Greninja's Water Shuriken with Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain, you can deal an impressive 40 passive damage per turn when both are active. Use Pokemon Communication to quickly set up your Greninja line, while Glaceon Ex and Irida provide substantial healing to keep your team in the fight. Even with low Energy requirements, Misty's inclusion helps you secure victories, and Palkia Ex remains a potent threat with your accumulated energy.
These two decks showcase Glaceon Ex's versatility and power in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. With the addition of Irida, Glaceon Ex becomes even more flexible within the dynamic Water energy type, promising a bright future for this card in competitive play.
*Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.*
