Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex made their highly anticipated Ex debut in the *Pokémon TCG Pocket* Triumphant Light expansion. Glaceon Ex, in particular, has quickly become a popular choice, thanks to its unique abilities. This guide highlights the top Glaceon Ex decks currently dominating the meta.
Glaceon Ex's 90-damage Freezing Wind attack is potent, 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, a game mechanic that occurs at the start of each player's turn. This effectively translates to 20 passive damage per round while Glaceon Ex remains active, making it a formidable chip damage dealer.
This consistent damage output allows Glaceon Ex to excel in several Water-type deck archetypes. Here are two of the best:
Starmie Ex (Water Energy)
This deck utilizes the synergy between Glaceon Ex and Starmie Ex for a fast-paced, aggressive strategy. Here's a sample decklist:
- 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 low retreat costs of Starmie Ex and Glaceon Ex allow for easy switching and energy manipulation using Dawn and Vaporeon's Wash Out ability. Palkia Ex serves as a powerful finisher, while Misty and Irida provide crucial support and healing. Irida, a new Supporter from Triumphant Light, heals Water-type Pokémon for a significant 40 HP.
Greninja (Water Energy)
This deck focuses on maximizing chip damage with a combination of Greninja's Water Shuriken and Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. Here's a sample decklist:
- 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
Pokémon Communication helps accelerate the Greninja line, while Glaceon Ex and Irida provide consistent damage and healing. Misty offers additional win conditions, and Palkia Ex acts as a powerful energy sink. This deck leverages the combined passive damage to overwhelm opponents.
These two decks represent some of the most effective ways to utilize Glaceon Ex in *Pokémon TCG Pocket*. The versatility of Glaceon Ex, combined with the powerful support of cards like Irida, makes it a force to be reckoned with. Get ready to see a lot more Glaceon Ex in the future!
