Top Glaceon Ex Decks for Pokemon TCG Pocket

With the release of the *Triumphant Light* expansion in *Pokémon TCG Pocket*, two Eeveelutions received their EX evolution treatment for the very first time: **Leafeon EX** and **Glaceon EX**. While both bring unique strengths to the table, it’s Glaceon EX that has quickly gained attention as a powerful addition to various Water-type strategies. Its signature ability, **Snowy Terrain**, deals 10 damage to your opponent’s Active Pokémon during each Pokémon Checkup phase if Glaceon EX is in the Active Spot.

You might be wondering—what exactly is a Pokémon Checkup? It's the point in the game when the system checks for any status conditions on your Pokémon. In *Pokémon TCG Pocket*, this check happens at the start of each player’s turn, meaning Snowy Terrain can trigger twice per full round—dealing a consistent 20 damage total with every complete turn cycle. This passive chip damage makes Glaceon EX an excellent fit for several competitive Water-type decks.

Best Glaceon EX Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket

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 Poké Ball

This deck focuses on fast, aggressive gameplay by combining the power of **Starmie EX** and **Glaceon EX**. Thanks to its no-retreat-cost mechanic and Glaceon EX’s minimal retreat cost of one, switching between Active Pokémon becomes effortless. Support from **Dawn** and a single copy of **Vaporeon (Mythical Island)**—which features the Wash Out ability—allows you to freely shift Water Energy between your Pokémon, maximizing efficiency and flexibility.

Pairing this energy mobility with **Palkia EX**’s devastating **Dimensional Storm**, you have a deck capable of turning the tide of battle in a single move. Throw in a couple of **Misty** Supporters for potential flip-based wins, and your opponents won’t be thanking you after a loss.

A standout inclusion in this list is **Irida**, a new Supporter card introduced in the *Triumphant Light* expansion. Irida heals all Water Energy-attached Pokémon for a substantial 40 HP, ensuring your team remains durable and in the fight longer.

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 Poké Ball
• 1x Pokémon Communication

This second build leans heavily into chip damage through the synergy between **Greninja**’s **Water Shuriken** ability and Glaceon EX’s **Snowy Terrain**. With both abilities active and Glaceon EX in the Active Spot, you’re dishing out 40 passive damage per round before even launching an attack.

The goal here is to use **Pokémon Communication** early to assemble a Greninja line, then rely on Glaceon EX and Irida to maintain board control and keep your team healthy. Despite its low Energy requirements, **Misty** still finds a home in this deck, offering crucial flip-based advantages. Meanwhile, **Palkia EX** serves as a flexible endgame option, benefiting from all the excess Energy floating around.

These two Glaceon EX builds showcase just how impactful the card can be in *Pokémon TCG Pocket*. With the support of cards like Irida, Glaceon EX proves itself as not only a flexible but also a dominant force in the current meta. Expect to see more of it as players continue to explore its potential across different strategies.

*Pokémon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.*
