Glaceon Ex boasts a respectable 90 damage output with its Freezing Wind attack. However, its true strength lies in its unique Snowy Terrain ability. This ability inflicts 10 damage on your opponent's Active Pokémon during each Pokémon Checkup if Glaceon Ex is in the Active Spot.

For those unfamiliar, a Pokémon Checkup occurs at the start of each player's turn to check for status conditions. In Pokémon TCG Pocket, this translates to 20 damage per round thanks to Snowy Terrain's consistent activation. This makes Glaceon Ex a valuable addition to several Water-type decks:

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 Poké Ball

This deck utilizes the synergy between Starmie Ex and Glaceon Ex to overwhelm opponents. Starmie Ex's zero retreat cost and Glaceon Ex's single retreat cost allow for easy switching and energy management, facilitated by Dawn and a single Vaporeon (Mythical Island) with its Wash Out ability. Wash Out enables efficient Water Energy redistribution to your Active Pokémon, particularly beneficial for Palkia Ex's powerful Dimensional Storm attack. Misty provides a chance for lucky wins, while Irida, a new Supporter from Triumphant Light, heals all Water-energized Pokémon for a substantial 40 HP, ensuring your team's longevity.

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 Poké Ball
• 1x Pokémon Communication

This deck employs a different strategy, focusing on consistent chip damage. Greninja's Water Shuriken and Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain combine for significant passive damage (40 damage with one of each active and Glaceon Ex in the active spot). Pokémon Communication helps quickly assemble a Greninja line, while Glaceon Ex and Irida provide crucial healing. Misty offers additional win conditions, and Palkia Ex serves as a powerful energy sink.

These two decks highlight the versatility of Glaceon Ex in Pokémon TCG Pocket. The inclusion of Irida further enhances its adaptability within the flexible Water-type energy ecosystem. Expect to see more of Glaceon Ex in the meta going forward.

Pokémon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
