In the latest *Pokemon TCG Pocket* expansion, Triumphant Light, two Eeveelutions have received the Ex treatment for the first time: Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex. Here's a detailed look at the best Glaceon Ex decks you can build in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
Best Glaceon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Glaceon Ex boasts an impressive 90 damage output with its Freezing Wind attack, but it's the Snowy Terrain ability that truly sets it apart. This ability deals 10 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon during each Pokemon Checkup when Glaceon Ex is in the Active Spot. A Pokemon Checkup, for those new to the game, happens at the start of each player's turn, checking for status conditions. This means Snowy Terrain effectively inflicts 20 damage each round, making Glaceon Ex a formidable card for Water-type decks.
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 Glaceon Ex deck focuses on a rapid offensive strategy, leveraging Starmie Ex's no-retreat cost and Glaceon Ex's minimal retreat cost to switch between the two efficiently. With Dawn and a single Mythical Island Vaporeon, which has the Wash Out ability to redistribute Water energy, energy management becomes seamless. Vaporeon's ability to shift Water energy to the Active Pokemon synergizes well with Palkia Ex's Dimensional Storm, which can secure a win with a single powerful move. Misty's inclusion adds a chance for surprise victories, while Irida's healing keeps your Pokemon 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 emphasizes consistent chip damage, combining Greninja's Water Shuriken with Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain to deal a passive 40 damage each turn. The key is to quickly assemble the Greninja line using Pokemon Communication, while Glaceon Ex and Irida provide significant healing to maintain control. Although the energy requirements are low, Misty can still turn the tide with lucky flips, and Palkia Ex remains a potent finisher.
These two decks highlight the versatility of Glaceon Ex in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. With Irida enhancing its already strong position in the Water-type category, expect to see more of Glaceon Ex in competitive play.
*Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.*
