Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex made their highly anticipated Ex debut in the *Pokémon TCG Pocket* Triumphant Light expansion. Let's dive into some top-tier Glaceon Ex deck strategies.
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. Since a Pokémon Checkup happens at the start of each player's turn, this translates to a consistent 20 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, fast-paced gameplay.
- 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 strategy revolves around the quick attacks of Starmie Ex (with no retreat cost) and Glaceon Ex (one retreat cost), facilitating easy switching and energy sharing thanks to Dawn and the strategic inclusion of Vaporeon (Mythical Island). Vaporeon's Wash Out ability allows for efficient Water Energy manipulation, particularly beneficial for Palkia Ex's powerful Dimensional Storm attack, which can secure quick victories. Misty adds a chance for lucky wins, while Irida, a new Supporter from Triumphant Light, provides crucial healing (40 HP to all Pokémon with attached Water Energy).
Greninja (Water Energy) Deck
This deck utilizes a different approach, emphasizing chip damage.
- 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 combines the consistent chip damage from Greninja's Water Shuriken with Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain, dealing a combined 40 passive damage per turn with one of each Pokémon active and Glaceon Ex in the Active Spot. Pokémon Communication helps quickly assemble a Greninja line, while Irida provides essential healing. Misty offers additional win conditions, and Palkia Ex serves as a powerful energy sink.
These two decks highlight Glaceon Ex's adaptability. With the addition of Irida, a highly versatile card in the flexible Water energy type, Glaceon Ex is poised to become a prominent force in the Pokémon TCG Pocket meta.
Pokémon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
