Top Glaceon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Glaceon Ex's Freezing Wind attack delivers 90 damage, but its true strength lies in the Snowy Terrain ability. When active, this ability deals 10 damage to the opponent's Active Pokemon during every Pokemon Checkup phase.
For those unfamiliar, Pokemon Checkup occurs when the game assesses status conditions - triggering at the start of each player's turn in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. This means Snowy Terrain effectively deals 20 damage per full game round.
This unique mechanic allows Glaceon Ex to integrate seamlessly into several Water-type deck archetypes:
Starmie Ex (Water Energy Deck)
- 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 aggressive deck synergizes Starmie Ex's rapid attack potential with Glaceon Ex's passive damage. With Starmie Ex's zero retreat cost and Glaceon Ex's minimal one-energy retreat, energy management becomes effortless using Dawn and the single Mythical Island Vaporeon. Vaporeon's Wash Out ability enables flexible energy redistribution to your Active Pokemon.
The inclusion of Palkia Ex provides a potential game-ending Dimensional Storm attack. Misty's coin-flip mechanics can secure unexpected victories, while Irida's phenomenal 40 HP healing (a new Triumphant Light feature) maintains board presence.

Greninja (Water Energy Deck)
- 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 alternative build maximizes chip damage through Greninja's Water Shuriken combined with Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. With both abilities active, you'll deal 40 passive damage per round alongside standard attacks.
Pokemon Communication accelerates your Greninja evolution chain while Irida sustains your team. Though this deck requires less energy, Misty maintains its disruptive potential, and Palkia Ex serves as an energy dump for accumulating resources.
These builds represent Glaceon Ex's strongest competitive applications in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. With Irida's support and Water-type versatility, expect to encounter this frosty Eeveelution frequently in high-level play.
*Pokemon TCG Pocket is currently available on iOS and Android devices.*
