In *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, the first Eeveelutions to receive Ex forms are the Generation IV duo, Leafeon and Glaceon. While both are formidable, this guide zeroes in on Leafeon Ex, exploring the best decks that can harness its potential. Let's dive into the top Leafeon Ex decks for *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
Best Leafeon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Leafeon Ex's true power doesn't lie in its Solar Beam attack, which requires 3 total energy for 70 damage. Instead, its strength shines through the Forest Breath ability. When Leafeon Ex is in the Active Spot, Forest Breath allows you to attach a Grass energy to one of your Grass-type Pokemon, making it a key component in energy management.
This ability synergizes exceptionally well with Celebi Ex, a powerhouse from the Mythical Island set, though its compatibility is somewhat limited to this specific pairing.
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 revolves around positioning Leafeon Ex in the Active Spot and keeping it alive using Giant’s Cape, Erika, and Potions. This setup allows you to use Forest Breath to power up both Leafeon Ex and Celebi Ex simultaneously. With 140 HP, Leafeon Ex can withstand most aggressive attacks long enough to retreat and switch to a fully charged Celebi Ex.
The key to success here is deciding when to power up Leafeon Ex and when to focus solely on Celebi Ex, utilizing the energies generated each turn. This straightforward strategy has proven effective with Exeggutor Ex, but the Leafeon Ex variant offers even greater scaling potential. Don’t hesitate to use Dawn to boost Celebi Ex further.

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 primary home for Leafeon Ex, the Yanmega Ex deck presents another intriguing possibility. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash deals 120 damage for 3 Colorless energy, but requires discarding an energy after attacking. Leafeon Ex's Forest Breath becomes crucial here, allowing you to stack energy on Yanmega Ex for consecutive attacks.
Erika plays a vital role in keeping both these 140 HP Pokemon alive, while 2x Giant’s Cape helps push them past the critical 150 HP threshold. This deck adopts a rush-down strategy, potentially outpacing the prevalent Exeggutor Ex Grass-type decks.
Although a deck featuring Venusaur Ex and Leafeon Ex could be viable, it's unlikely to outperform the two decks listed above. Therefore, these are the optimal *Pokemon TCG Pocket* decks to explore with your new Leafeon Ex.
