The first Eeveelutions to receive Ex forms in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* hail from Generation IV: Leafeon and Glaceon. While both are impressive, this guide delves into the powerhouse that is Leafeon. Here's an in-depth look at the best Leafeon Ex decks in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
Best Leafeon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Leafeon Ex shines not with its Solar Beam attack, which deals 70 damage for 3 total energy, but with its formidable Forest Breath ability. This ability allows you to attach Grass energy to one of your Grass type Pokemon whenever Leafeon Ex is in the Active Spot, making it a key component in strategic deck building.
Celebi Ex (Grass Energy)
This deck harnesses the synergy between Leafeon Ex and the Mythical Island's Celebi Ex. Here's how you can set it up:
- 2x Eevee (Space-Time Smackdown)
- 2x Leafeon Ex
- 2x Celebi
- 2x Professor’s Research
- 2x Dawn
- 2x Erika
- 1x Sabrina
- 2x Giant’s Cape
- 2x Poke Ball
- 2x Potion
- 1x Pokemon Communication
The strategy is to position Leafeon Ex in the Active Spot, using Giant’s Cape, Erika, and Potions to keep it alive while leveraging Forest Breath to power up both Leafeon Ex and Celebi Ex. With 140 HP, Leafeon Ex can withstand aggressive attacks long enough to retreat and empower Celebi Ex with 3-4 energy. The key is deciding when to bolster Leafeon Ex or focus on Celebi Ex, utilizing Dawn to amplify Celebi Ex's power. This approach has proven effective with Exeggutor Ex, but Leafeon Ex offers even greater scaling potential.

Yanmega Ex (Grass Energy)
While the Celebi Ex deck is the primary home for Leafeon Ex, the Yanmega Ex variant offers an intriguing alternative:
- 2x Eevee (Space-Time Smackdown)
- 2x Leafeon Ex
- 2x Yanma
- 2x Yanmega Ex
- 2x Professor’s Research
- 2x Dawn
- 2x Erika
- 2x Giant’s Cape
- 2x Potion
- 2x Pokemon Communication
Yanmega Ex’s Air Slash delivers 120 damage for 3 Colorless energy, but requires you to discard an energy post-attack. Leafeon Ex's Forest Breath helps accumulate energy on Yanmega Ex, enabling consecutive attacks. Erika keeps both 140 HP Pokemon in play, while Giant’s Cape pushes them over the crucial 150 HP threshold. This deck adopts a rush-down strategy that could outpace the prevalent Exeggutor Ex decks in the Grass type category.
Although Venusaur Ex might seem like a potential partner for Leafeon Ex, it's unlikely to outperform the above decks. Therefore, these two configurations stand out as the top choices for leveraging your new Leafeon Ex in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
