Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex made their highly anticipated Ex debut in the Pokémon TCG Pocket Triumphant Light expansion. Glaceon Ex, in particular, offers a unique strategic advantage thanks to its potent abilities. This guide highlights the top Glaceon Ex decks currently dominating the meta.

Glaceon Ex’s Freezing Wind attack delivers a solid 90 damage, but its real strength lies in its Snowy Terrain ability. This ability inflicts 10 damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon during each Pokémon Checkup phase, if Glaceon Ex is active. Since Pokémon Checkups happen at the start of each player's turn, Snowy Terrain effectively deals 20 passive damage per round, significantly chipping away at your opponent's health.

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

Starmie Ex (Water Energy) Deck

This deck utilizes the synergy between Glaceon Ex and Starmie Ex for an aggressive, fast-paced 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 provides a powerful finisher, while Misty and Irida offer strategic advantages. Irida's healing capabilities are particularly potent, restoring 40 HP to Water-type Pokémon.

Greninja (Water Energy) Deck

This deck focuses on consistent chip damage, combining Greninja's Water Shuriken with Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. Here's a possible 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 you quickly assemble a Greninja line, while Glaceon Ex and Irida provide consistent damage and healing. Misty offers additional strategic options, and Palkia Ex serves as a powerful energy sink.

These two decks showcase the versatility of Glaceon Ex in Pokémon TCG Pocket. With the addition of powerful support cards like Irida, Glaceon Ex is poised to remain a dominant force in the meta.
