Best Glaceon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket

In the latest *Pokemon TCG Pocket* expansion, Triumphant Light, two Eeveelutions have been given the Ex treatment for the first time: Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex. Glaceon Ex, in particular, has caught the attention of players with its powerful Freezing Wind attack that deals 90 damage and its unique Snowy Terrain ability. This ability inflicts 10 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon during each Pokemon Checkup when Glaceon Ex is in the Active Spot. For those unfamiliar, a Pokemon Checkup happens at the start of each player's turn to check for status conditions, effectively making Snowy Terrain deal 20 damage per round.

Glaceon Ex's versatility allows it to fit seamlessly into various Water type decks. Let's explore the best Glaceon Ex decks in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*:

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 a swift offensive strategy, leveraging Starmie Ex's zero retreat cost and Glaceon Ex's minimal one-energy retreat cost. The deck's key is the synergy between these two Pokemon, facilitated by Dawn's energy sharing and a single Vaporeon from Mythical Island. Vaporeon's Wash Out ability allows you to transfer Water energy to your Active Pokemon, enhancing the effectiveness of Palkia Ex's Dimensional Storm, which can secure a win with one devastating hit. Misty adds a layer of unpredictability with her luck-based wins, while Irida, introduced in Triumphant Light, heals all Pokemon with attached Water energy by a significant 40 health points, ensuring your team remains in fighting shape.

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 capitalizes on consistent chip damage, combining Greninja's Water Shuriken with Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. When both cards are active, you're dishing out 40 passive damage per round on top of their standard attacks. The strategy hinges on rapidly assembling a Greninja line using Pokemon Communication, while Glaceon Ex and Irida provide substantial healing to keep your Pokemon in the fight. Even with low energy requirements, Misty remains valuable for those lucky flip wins, and Palkia Ex serves as a powerful endgame option for all the extra energy you accumulate.

These two decks represent the best ways to utilize Glaceon Ex in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. With Irida enhancing the flexibility of Water-type decks, Glaceon Ex is poised to be a staple in the meta, so expect to see a lot more of it in future battles.
