The *Pokemon TCG Pocket* game took an exciting turn with the release of the Triumphant Light expansion, introducing two new Eeveelutions to the Ex category for the first time: Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex. Among these, Glaceon Ex has become a focal point for competitive players, thanks to its powerful abilities and synergy within various deck builds. Let's dive into the best Glaceon Ex decks in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* that you can leverage to dominate the competition.
Best Glaceon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Glaceon Ex is notable for its Freezing Wind attack that delivers 90 damage, but its real strength lies in the Snowy Terrain ability. This ability inflicts 10 damage to the opponent's Active Pokemon during each Pokemon Checkup if Glaceon Ex is in the Active Spot. A Pokemon Checkup, for those unfamiliar, is a phase in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* that occurs at the start of each player's turn to assess status conditions, making Snowy Terrain effectively deal 20 damage each round.
This unique ability allows Glaceon Ex to be a versatile addition to multiple Water type deck strategies:
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 deck is designed to aggressively pressure your opponents by combining the force of Starmie Ex with the consistent damage output from Glaceon Ex’s Snowy Terrain. Both Starmie Ex and Glaceon Ex have minimal retreat costs, allowing for seamless switching and energy sharing facilitated by Dawn and a strategic copy of Mythical Island Vaporeon. The latter's Wash Out ability lets you transfer Water energy freely to your Active Pokemon, a crucial advantage when paired with Palkia Ex's devastating Dimensional Storm. Misty adds an element of unpredictability, potentially securing wins through lucky coin flips, while Irida, introduced with Triumphant Light, offers substantial healing, restoring up to 40 health to any Pokemon with Water energy attached.

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 adopts a different strategy, focusing on cumulative damage with Greninja's Water Shuriken ability complementing Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. When both are Active, you're hitting opponents with 40 passive damage in addition to their respective attacks. The key is to use Pokemon Communication to quickly evolve into Greninja while relying on Glaceon Ex and Irida for substantial healing. Even with low energy requirements, Misty remains useful for securing wins, and Palkia Ex serves as an ultimate target for any surplus energy.
Glaceon Ex's versatility, enhanced by the new Irida card from the Triumphant Light expansion, positions it as a highly adaptable asset within Water type decks, promising a prominent future in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. Get ready to see a lot of Glaceon Ex in your games.
