The Triumphant Light expansion for *Pokemon TCG Pocket* introduced the Ex treatment to two Eeveelutions for the first time: Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex. Among these, Glaceon Ex stands out with its powerful potential, particularly due to its unique ability, Snowy Terrain. Here’s a detailed look at the best Glaceon Ex decks in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* that can help you dominate your opponents.
Best Glaceon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Glaceon Ex boasts an impressive 90 damage output with its Freezing Wind attack. However, it's the Snowy Terrain ability that truly elevates this card. Snowy Terrain inflicts 10 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon during each Pokemon Checkup when Glaceon Ex is in the Active Spot. A Pokemon Checkup in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* occurs at the beginning of each player's turn to check for status conditions, effectively allowing Snowy Terrain to deal 20 damage each round.
This ability makes Glaceon Ex an excellent fit for 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 a rush strategy, utilizing the synergy between Starmie Ex and Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. With Starmie Ex having no retreat cost and Glaceon Ex requiring just one, switching between them is seamless. Dawn facilitates energy sharing, while a single Mythical Island Vaporeon with its Wash Out ability allows for flexible energy distribution to your Active Pokemon.
The inclusion of Palkia Ex can turn games with a single Dimensional Storm attack. Misty adds a chance to steal wins through lucky coin flips, and the new Triumphant Light Supporter card, Irida, heals all Pokemon with attached Water energy by 40 HP, 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 takes a different approach, focusing on consistent chip damage through Greninja's Water Shuriken ability combined with Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. With both cards active and Glaceon Ex in the Active Spot, you're dealing an additional 40 passive damage each turn, on top of their attack capabilities.
Pokemon Communication accelerates the assembly of your Greninja line, while Glaceon Ex and Irida provide substantial healing to keep your Pokemon in the fight. Even with low energy requirements, Misty remains useful for those game-stealing moments, and a single Palkia Ex serves as a powerful target for extra energy.
These are the top two Glaceon Ex decks you can build in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. With Irida enhancing the flexibility of Water-type decks, expect to see a lot of Glaceon Ex in competitive play moving forward.
*Pokemon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.*
