The first Eeveelutions to receive Ex forms in Pokemon TCG Pocket are from Generation IV: Leafeon and Glaceon. While both are formidable, this guide focuses on Leafeon Ex, exploring the best deck compositions to maximize its potential.
Best Leafeon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Leafeon Ex's prowess isn't primarily derived from its Solar Beam attack, which inflicts 70 damage for 3 energy. Instead, its strength lies in the Forest Breath ability. When Leafeon Ex occupies the Active Spot, Forest Breath allows you to attach Grass energy to one of your Grass-type Pokemon, making it a valuable asset for energy management and acceleration.
Celebi Ex (Grass Energy)
- 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 here revolves around positioning Leafeon Ex in the Active Spot and maintaining its survivability with Giant’s Cape, Erika, and Potions. Utilize Forest Breath to simultaneously power up both Leafeon Ex and Celebi Ex. With 140 HP, Leafeon Ex can withstand many aggressive Pokemon long enough to retreat and make way for a Celebi Ex loaded with 3-4 energy.
The key decision lies in choosing when to bolster Leafeon Ex or directly feed energy to Celebi Ex. This straightforward strategy has proven effective with Exeggutor Ex, but Leafeon Ex offers even greater scaling potential. Don't hesitate to use Dawn to further empower Celebi Ex.

Yanmega Ex (Grass Energy)
- 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
While the Celebi Ex deck is a prime candidate for Leafeon Ex, a synergy exists with Yanmega Ex. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash deals 120 damage for 3 Colorless energy, requiring an energy discard post-attack. Leafeon Ex's ability to stack energy on Yanmega Ex facilitates consecutive attacks.
Erika plays a crucial role in keeping both 140 HP Pokemon in play, while 2x Giant’s Cape helps surpass the critical 150 HP mark. This deck adopts a rush-down approach, potentially outpacing Exeggutor Ex decks, which dominate the Grass type category.
Although Venusaur Ex could theoretically pair well with Leafeon Ex, it's unlikely to outperform the above decks. Therefore, these are the top Pokemon TCG Pocket decks to leverage your new Leafeon Ex.
