The release of the *Triumphant Light* expansion in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* introduced the first-ever Ex versions of two Eeveelutions: Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex. Among these, Glaceon Ex stands out with its unique abilities, making it a key component in several competitive decks. Let's dive into the best Glaceon Ex decks currently dominating the meta in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
Best Glaceon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Glaceon Ex's Freezing Wind attack hits for 90 damage, but it's the Snowy Terrain ability that truly elevates this card. Snowy Terrain inflicts 10 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon during each Pokemon Checkup when Glaceon Ex is in the Active Spot. In *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, a Pokemon Checkup happens at the start of each player's turn, effectively dealing 20 damage per round. This continuous damage output allows Glaceon Ex to be a versatile addition to various Water-type decks.
Starmie Ex (Water Energy)
Here's a breakdown of a potent Glaceon Ex deck featuring Starmie Ex:
- 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 swift offensive strategy, leveraging Starmie Ex's zero retreat cost and Glaceon Ex's minimal retreat cost to seamlessly switch between the two. The synergy is further enhanced by Dawn, which helps in sharing energy, and a single Mythical Island Vaporeon with its Wash Out ability, allowing for strategic energy distribution to your Active Pokemon. The inclusion of Palkia Ex with its game-ending Dimensional Storm attack adds a powerful finisher to your arsenal. Misty can turn the tide with some lucky flips, while Irida, a new Supporter card from *Triumphant Light*, heals all Water-energized Pokemon by a significant 40 health, keeping your team in fighting shape.

- 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 for a total of 40 passive damage per turn when both are active. The strategy involves quickly assembling a Greninja line using Pokemon Communication while maintaining battlefield control with Glaceon Ex and utilizing Irida for substantial healing. Despite the low energy requirements, Misty remains a valuable addition for potential game-stealing moments, and Palkia Ex serves as a target for extra energy, offering a powerful late-game threat.
These are the top Glaceon Ex decks you can build in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. With the versatility of Irida and the adaptability of Water-type energy, Glaceon Ex is set to be a mainstay in competitive play.
