Glaceon Ex's Freezing Wind attack inflicts 90 damage, but its Snowy Terrain ability is its real strength. Snowy Terrain deals 10 damage to the opponent's Active Pokémon during each Pokémon Checkup if Glaceon Ex is Active. Since a Checkup happens at the start of each player's turn, this effectively deals 20 damage per round.
This makes Glaceon Ex a valuable addition to several Water-type decks:
Starmie Ex (Water Energy) Deck
This deck utilizes Starmie Ex's speed and Glaceon Ex's consistent damage.
- 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
The low retreat costs of Starmie Ex and Glaceon Ex allow easy switching, while Dawn and Vaporeon (with its Wash Out ability) facilitate energy management. Palkia Ex provides a powerful finisher with Dimensional Storm. Misty offers a chance for lucky wins, and Irida's healing (40 HP with a Water Energy attached) keeps Pokémon healthy.
Greninja (Water Energy) Deck
This strategy focuses on consistent chip damage.
- 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
Greninja's Water Shuriken and Glaceon Ex's Snowy Terrain combine for significant passive damage. Pokémon Communication helps quickly assemble a Greninja line, while Irida provides crucial healing. Misty again adds a chance for surprise victories, and Palkia Ex utilizes excess energy.
These two decks showcase Glaceon Ex's versatility. Irida's addition significantly enhances its effectiveness within the flexible Water-type energy system. Expect to see more Glaceon Ex decks in the future.
Pokémon TCG Pocket is available now on mobile devices.
