The first Eeveelutions to receive Ex forms in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* are the iconic Generation IV pair: Leafeon and Glaceon. Both appear to be powerhouses, but let's delve deeper into the strategies surrounding Leafeon. Here’s a comprehensive guide on the best Leafeon Ex decks you can build in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
Best Leafeon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Leafeon Ex isn’t just about its Solar Beam attack, which deals 70 damage for 3 energy. Its true strength lies in the Forest Breath ability. This ability allows you to attach a Grass energy to one of your Grass-type Pokémon when Leafeon Ex is in the Active Spot, making it an invaluable asset for energy management.
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 for this deck revolves around positioning Leafeon Ex in the Active Spot, where it can utilize Forest Breath to power up both itself and Celebi Ex. With 140 HP, Leafeon Ex can withstand attacks from most aggressive Pokémon long enough to retreat and transfer energy to Celebi Ex, which can then be loaded with 3 to 4 energies. The key is deciding when to boost Leafeon Ex or focus solely on Celebi Ex, leveraging the energies generated each turn. While this approach has proven effective with Exeggutor Ex, the Leafeon Ex and Celebi Ex combination offers greater scaling potential. Don’t hesitate to use Dawn to further empower Celebi Ex.

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
Although the Celebi Ex deck is the primary home for Leafeon Ex, the Yanmega Ex pairing offers a compelling alternative. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash delivers 120 damage for 3 Colorless energy, but requires you to discard an energy post-attack. Here, Leafeon Ex's Forest Breath becomes crucial, enabling Yanmega Ex to maintain a steady supply of energy for consecutive attacks. Erika helps keep both 140 HP Pokémon alive, while 2x Giant’s Cape boosts them above the critical 150 HP threshold. This deck adopts a rush-down strategy that could potentially outpace the prevalent Exeggutor Ex decks in the Grass-type category.
While a combination with Venusaur Ex might seem appealing, it's unlikely to outperform the above two decks. Thus, these are the top *Pokemon TCG Pocket* decks to experiment with your new Leafeon Ex.
