With the release of the Triumphant Light expansion in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, two Eeveelutions—Glaceon Ex and Leafeon Ex—have received the Ex treatment for the first time. Here’s a deep dive into the best Glaceon Ex decks you can assemble in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
Best Glaceon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Glaceon Ex boasts a powerful attack, Freezing Wind, which deals 90 damage. However, 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 when Glaceon Ex is in the Active Spot.
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, making Snowy Terrain effectively hit for 20 damage each round. This consistent chip damage allows Glaceon Ex to fit seamlessly into various Water type decks.
Starmie Ex (Water Energy)
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 Glaceon Ex deck focuses on aggressively rushing down opponents, utilizing Starmie Ex in tandem with Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. Starmie Ex's zero retreat cost and Glaceon Ex's minimal one retreat cost make it easy to switch between them, sharing energy with the help of Dawn and a strategic inclusion of a Mythical Island Vaporeon. Vaporeon's Wash Out ability enables you to transfer Water energy freely to your Active Pokemon, which is particularly useful with your single Palkia Ex and its game-ending Dimensional Storm attack. Misty adds a chance to steal victories with lucky coin flips, while Irida's new Supporter card from Triumphant Light heals all Pokemon with attached Water energy by a substantial 40 health, keeping your team in the fight longer.

Greninja (Water Energy)
2x Eevee 2x Glaceon Ex 2x Froakie 2x Frogadier 2x Greninja 1x Palkia Ex 2x Professor’s Research 2x Irida 2x Misty 2x Poke Ball 1x Pokemon Communication
This deck takes a different approach, emphasizing consistent chip damage with Greninja's Water Shuriken ability paired with Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. With both cards active, you're dealing an additional 40 passive damage each turn on top of their solid attack capabilities. Use Pokemon Communication to quickly set up your Greninja line, while Glaceon Ex and Irida provide substantial healing to keep your strategy going. Despite the low Energy requirements, Misty remains valuable for potential win-stealing opportunities, and a single Palkia Ex offers a powerful outlet for your extra energy.
These are the top two Glaceon Ex decks you can build in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. With the versatile Irida card from Triumphant Light and the adaptability of Water energy, Glaceon Ex is poised to be a staple in many competitive decks moving forward.
