The Triumphant Light expansion for *Pokemon TCG Pocket* introduced the first Ex versions of two Eeveelutions: Leafeon Ex and Glaceon Ex. Glaceon Ex, in particular, has become a cornerstone for competitive play thanks to its unique abilities. Here, we delve into the best Glaceon Ex decks you can build to dominate in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
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 sets it apart, dealing 10 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon during each Pokemon Checkup when Glaceon Ex is in the Active Spot. In *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, a Pokemon Checkup occurs at the start of each player's turn, making Snowy Terrain effectively deal 20 damage every round.
