Best Glaceon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex made their Ex debut in the *Pokémon TCG Pocket* Triumphant Light expansion, marking a significant moment for these Eeveelutions. This guide focuses on crafting powerful Glaceon Ex decks within the game.

Glaceon Ex boasts a 90-damage Freezing Wind attack, but its real strength 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, Snowy Terrain effectively deals 20 damage per round, a consistent chipping strategy.

This passive damage makes Glaceon Ex a valuable addition to several Water-type decks. Here are two top contenders:

Starmie Ex (Water Energy) Deck

This deck prioritizes a fast, aggressive strategy. The synergy between Starmie Ex and Glaceon Ex is key:

• 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

Starmie Ex's zero retreat cost and Glaceon Ex's low retreat cost allow for easy switching and energy manipulation using Dawn and Vaporeon's Wash Out ability. Palkia Ex provides a powerful finisher with Dimensional Storm, while Misty offers a chance for lucky wins. Irida, a new Supporter from Triumphant Light, heals Water-energized Pokémon for 40 HP, bolstering survivability.

Greninja (Water Energy) Deck

This deck focuses on consistent chip damage from multiple sources:

• 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

Greninja's Water Shuriken and Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain combine for significant passive damage. Pokémon Communication helps you quickly assemble a Greninja line, while Irida provides crucial healing. Misty offers additional win conditions, and Palkia Ex acts as an energy sink for powerful attacks.

These two decks showcase Glaceon Ex's versatility. The addition of Irida makes it a highly adaptable card within the flexible Water-type energy system. Expect to see more Glaceon Ex strategies emerge in the future.
