The release of the Triumphant Light expansion in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* introduced two new Eeveelutions with the Ex treatment for the first time: Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex. Here, we delve into the best Glaceon Ex decks to enhance your gameplay in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
Glaceon Ex boasts a Freezing Wind attack that deals 90 damage, but it's the Snowy Terrain ability that truly sets it apart. This ability inflicts 10 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon during each Pokemon Checkup if Glaceon Ex is in the Active Spot. But what is a Pokemon Checkup? In *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, it's a routine check at the start of each player's turn to see if any Pokemon have status conditions, effectively making Snowy Terrain deal 20 damage each round.
This ability makes Glaceon Ex a versatile addition to Water-type decks, and here are two prime examples:
This deck focuses on aggressively pressuring opponents with Starmie Ex, complemented by Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. The no-retreat cost of Starmie Ex and Glaceon Ex's low retreat cost facilitate easy switching between the two, sharing energy efficiently with the aid of Dawn and a strategic Vaporeon from Mythical Island. Vaporeon's Wash Out ability allows you to transfer Water energy to your Active Pokemon, which synergizes well with Palkia Ex's game-winning Dimensional Storm. Misty adds a layer of unpredictability with potential lucky flips, while Irida's new Supporter card heals all Pokemon with attached Water energy by a substantial 40 health points, keeping your team in fighting shape.
This deck adopts a strategy focused on accumulating chip damage through Greninja's Water Shuriken and Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. With both cards in play and Glaceon Ex active, you're dishing out an additional 40 passive damage alongside their direct attacks. Pokemon Communication helps you swiftly assemble a Greninja line, while Glaceon Ex and Irida provide substantial healing. Despite the low energy demands, Misty remains a key player for surprise victories, and Palkia Ex serves as a potent energy sink.
These two decks represent the most effective ways to leverage Glaceon Ex in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. With Irida's introduction, Glaceon Ex gains even more flexibility within the Water energy type, promising a bright future for this card in the meta.
