Glaceon Ex boasts a respectable 90 damage Freezing Wind attack, but its true strength lies in its Snowy Terrain ability. This ability inflicts 10 damage on your opponent's Active Pokémon during each Pokémon Checkup if Glaceon Ex is active. Since a Pokémon Checkup happens at the start of each player's turn, this translates to a consistent 20 damage per round.
This passive damage output makes Glaceon Ex a valuable addition to several Water-type decks:
Starmie Ex (Water Energy)
This deck utilizes a fast-paced strategy combining Starmie Ex and Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain. The decklist includes:
- 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
Starmie Ex's zero retreat cost and Glaceon Ex's low retreat cost allow for easy switching and energy manipulation using Dawn and Vaporeon's Wash Out ability. Palkia Ex offers a powerful one-hit knockout potential with Dimensional Storm, while Misty adds a chance for lucky wins. Irida, a new Supporter from Triumphant Light, provides crucial healing (40 HP to Water-type Pokémon), keeping your team in the fight.
Greninja (Water Energy)
This decklist focuses on consistent chip damage, leveraging both Greninja's Water Shuriken and Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain:
- 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
The strategy revolves around quickly assembling a Greninja line using Pokémon Communication, combining its attacks with Glaceon Ex's passive damage for significant pressure. Irida provides essential healing, and Misty offers a chance at surprise victories. Palkia Ex serves as a powerful energy sink for late-game scenarios.
These two decks showcase the versatile potential of Glaceon Ex in *Pokémon TCG Pocket*. With the addition of Irida, Glaceon Ex is poised to become a dominant force in the Water-type meta.
Pokémon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
