The first Eeveelutions to receive Ex forms in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* are the Generation IV duo, Leafeon and Glaceon. Both are exceptionally strong, but this guide focuses on the powerful Leafeon Ex. Here, we'll explore the best Leafeon Ex decks for *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
Best Leafeon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Leafeon Ex shines not because of its Solar Beam attack, which inflicts 70 damage for 3 total energy, but due to its Forest Breath ability. This ability allows you to attach a Grass energy to one of your Grass-type Pokémon whenever Leafeon Ex is in the Active Spot. This feature synergizes exceptionally well with Celebi Ex, creating a dynamic duo in the deck.
Celebi Ex (Grass Energy)
- 2x Eevee (Space-Time Smackdown)
- 2x Leafeon Ex
- 2x Celebi
- 2x Professor’s Research
- 2x Dawn
- 2x Erika
- 1x Sabrina
- 2x Giant’s Cape
- 2x Poke Ball
- 2x Potion
- 1x Pokemon Communication
The strategy with this deck centers around positioning Leafeon Ex in the Active Spot. Using Giant’s Cape, Erika, and Potions, you can keep Leafeon Ex alive long enough to utilize Forest Breath. This ability powers up both Leafeon Ex and Celebi Ex simultaneously. With 140 HP, Leafeon Ex can withstand most aggressive Pokémon long enough to retreat and let Celebi Ex take the stage with 3-4 energy loaded.
The key to success is knowing when to power up Leafeon Ex and when to focus on Celebi Ex, feeding it the energies generated each turn. This straightforward strategy has proven effective with Exeggutor Ex, but the Leafeon Ex version offers even more potential. Don't hesitate to use Dawn to further boost Celebi Ex's power.
Yanmega Ex (Grass Energy)
- 2x Eevee (Space-Time Smackdown)
- 2x Leafeon Ex
- 2x Yanma
- 2x Yanmega Ex
- 2x Professor’s Research
- 2x Dawn
- 2x Erika
- 2x Giant’s Cape
- 2x Potion
- 2x Pokemon Communication
While the Celebi Ex deck is the most natural fit for Leafeon Ex, pairing it with Yanmega Ex offers an interesting alternative. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash deals 120 damage for 3 Colorless energy but requires discarding an energy after attacking. Leafeon Ex's Forest Breath can help stack energy on Yanmega Ex, allowing for back-to-back attacks.
Erika helps keep both 140 HP Pokémon alive during this aggressive strategy, and using 2x Giant’s Cape can push them past the crucial 150 HP threshold. This rush-down style deck has the potential to outpace the prevalent Exeggutor Ex decks in the Grass type category.
While Venusaur Ex could theoretically pair with Leafeon Ex, it's unlikely to outperform the above decks. Therefore, the Celebi Ex and Yanmega Ex decks are your best bets for showcasing the power of your new Leafeon Ex in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
