The Triumphant Light expansion for *Pokemon TCG Pocket* introduced two Eeveelutions as Ex cards for the first time: Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex. In this article, we'll dive into the best Glaceon Ex decks, showcasing its powerful abilities and strategic advantages.
Glaceon Ex packs a punch with its Freezing Wind attack, dealing 90 damage. However, it's the Snowy Terrain ability that truly sets it apart. Snowy Terrain inflicts 10 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon during each Pokemon Checkup when Glaceon Ex is in the Active Spot. But what exactly is a Pokemon Checkup? In *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, it's a check at the beginning of each player's turn to see if any Pokemon have status conditions, making Snowy Terrain deal 20 damage each round effectively.
This unique ability allows Glaceon Ex to fit seamlessly into various Water-type decks. Let's explore two of the best strategies:
This deck focuses on rushing down opponents using Starmie Ex alongside Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. Starmie Ex's zero retreat cost and Glaceon Ex's minimal retreat cost make switching between them easy, enabling energy sharing with Dawn and a single Mythical Island Vaporeon. Vaporeon's Wash Out ability lets you transfer as much Water energy as you want to your Active Pokemon, which synergizes well with Palkia Ex's Dimensional Storm for game-ending potential. Add Misty for those lucky flips, and Irida to heal all Water-attached Pokemon by a massive 40 HP, keeping your team in fighting shape.

This deck emphasizes chip damage through Greninja's Water Shuriken and Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. With both active, you're dealing a consistent 40 passive damage per turn, alongside their solid attacks. Use Pokemon Communication to quickly assemble your Greninja line, while Glaceon Ex and Irida keep your team healthy. Despite the low Energy requirements, Misty remains useful for those crucial coin flips, and a single Palkia Ex serves as a target for excess energy.
These are the top Glaceon Ex decks you can build in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. With Irida's inclusion, Glaceon Ex becomes an incredibly versatile card within the Water type, ensuring its prominence in future meta shifts.
