Leafeon Ex: Mastering the Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket
The Generation IV Eeveelutions, Leafeon and Glaceon, are the first to receive Ex forms in Pokémon TCG Pocket. While both are formidable, this guide focuses on maximizing Leafeon Ex's potential. Leafeon Ex's power isn't solely derived from its 70-damage Solar Beam attack (requiring 3 energy), but rather its game-changing Forest Breath ability. This ability allows you to attach a Grass energy to a Grass-type Pokémon when Leafeon Ex is active.
This synergy opens doors to powerful deck combinations.
Optimal Leafeon Ex Deck Strategies
1. The Celebi Ex Synergy:
This deck leverages the potent combination of Leafeon Ex and Celebi Ex.
-
Card Composition: 2x Eevee (Space-Time Smackdown), 2x Leafeon Ex, 2x Celebi Ex, 2x Professor’s Research, 2x Dawn, 2x Erika, 1x Sabrina, 2x Giant’s Cape, 2x Poké Ball, 2x Potion, 1x Pokémon Communication.
-
Strategy: The core strategy involves activating Leafeon Ex, maintaining its survival with Giant’s Cape, Erika, and Potions, while simultaneously powering up both Leafeon Ex and Celebi Ex using Forest Breath. Leafeon Ex's 140 HP provides sufficient survivability to retreat and unleash a fully charged Celebi Ex. Strategic energy allocation is key – deciding when to prioritize Leafeon Ex or focus solely on maximizing Celebi Ex's energy. Dawn can further enhance Celebi Ex's power. This approach offers significant scaling potential, surpassing similar strategies using Exeggutor Ex.
2. The Yanmega Ex Rush:
This deck utilizes a faster, aggressive approach pairing Leafeon Ex with Yanmega Ex.
-
Card Composition: 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 Pokémon Communication.
-
Strategy: Yanmega Ex’s Air Slash (120 damage, 3 Colorless energy, discarding an energy after attack) benefits greatly from Leafeon Ex's energy-boosting ability, enabling consecutive attacks. Erika ensures the survival of both 140 HP Pokémon, while 2x Giant’s Cape pushes their HP above 150 for enhanced resilience. This deck's aggressive, rush-down style aims to outmaneuver common Grass-type decks featuring Exeggutor Ex.
While other combinations, such as Leafeon Ex with Venusaur Ex, exist, the Celebi Ex and Yanmega Ex strategies offer superior performance. These are your best bets for harnessing the full power of Leafeon Ex in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
