In the world of *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, the introduction of Eeveelutions with Ex forms has stirred excitement, particularly with Generation IV's Leafeon and Glaceon. This guide dives into the best strategies for utilizing Leafeon Ex, highlighting its potential to transform your gameplay experience.
Best Leafeon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Leafeon Ex stands out not primarily for its Solar Beam attack, which deals 70 damage for 3 energy, but for its powerful Forest Breath ability. When Leafeon Ex is in the Active Spot, Forest Breath allows you to attach Grass energy to one of your Grass-type Pokemon, setting the stage for dynamic deck-building.
Celebi Ex (Grass Energy)
Deck Composition:
- 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 is to position Leafeon Ex in the Active Spot, using Giant’s Cape, Erika, and Potions to keep it alive. With Forest Breath, you can accelerate the energy accumulation on both Leafeon Ex and Celebi Ex. Leafeon Ex's 140 HP makes it resilient enough to withstand early aggressive moves, allowing you to retreat and power up Celebi Ex with 3 to 4 energy. The key is deciding when to empower Leafeon Ex or focus solely on Celebi Ex, leveraging Dawn to amplify Celebi Ex's potential. This approach echoes successful strategies seen with Exeggutor Ex, but Leafeon Ex brings enhanced scalability to the table.

Yanmega Ex (Grass Energy)
Deck Composition:
- 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 the prime spot for Leafeon Ex, there's a compelling case for pairing it with Yanmega Ex. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash delivers 120 damage for 3 Colorless energy but requires discarding an energy post-attack. Here, Leafeon Ex's ability to stack energy on Yanmega Ex becomes crucial, enabling consecutive attacks. Erika helps keep both 140 HP Pokemon in the game, while 2x Giant’s Cape boosts them above the critical 150 HP threshold. This deck adopts a rush-down style, potentially outpacing the dominant Exeggutor Ex Grass decks.
Although there's theoretical synergy with Venusaur Ex and Leafeon Ex, it's unlikely to outperform the aforementioned decks. Therefore, the Celebi Ex and Yanmega Ex decks represent the best ways to leverage Leafeon Ex's unique strengths in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
