In *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, the first Eeveelutions to receive Ex forms are the Generation IV favorites, Leafeon and Glaceon. While both are formidable, this guide focuses on Leafeon Ex, exploring the best deck strategies to maximize its potential in the game.
Best Leafeon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Leafeon Ex's prowess isn't primarily derived from its Solar Beam attack, which inflicts 70 damage for 3 energy, but rather from its 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 a key component in deck strategies.
Celebi Ex (Grass Energy)
This deck leverages the synergy between Leafeon Ex and Celebi Ex, another powerhouse from Mythical Island. Here's the deck list:
- 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 is to position Leafeon Ex in the Active Spot, using Giant’s Cape, Erika, and Potions to keep it alive while utilizing Forest Breath to power up both Leafeon Ex and Celebi Ex. Leafeon Ex, with 140 HP, can hold its ground against most aggressive opponents long enough to switch to a fully charged Celebi Ex. The key decision is whether to focus on powering up Leafeon Ex or to prioritize Celebi Ex, feeding it the energy generated each turn. Dawn can be used to accelerate Celebi Ex's power, enhancing the deck's potential significantly.

Yanmega Ex (Grass Energy)
While the Celebi Ex deck is a prime candidate for Leafeon Ex, there's an alternative strategy involving Yanmega Ex. Here's the deck list:
- 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
In this setup, Leafeon Ex supports Yanmega Ex by stacking energy on it, enabling consecutive attacks with Yanmega Ex's Air Slash, which deals 120 damage for 3 Colorless energy but requires discarding an energy post-attack. Erika helps keep both 140 HP Pokémon in play, and the addition of 2x Giant’s Cape pushes them above the critical 150 HP mark. This deck adopts a rush-down strategy that could potentially outpace the prevalent Exeggutor Ex decks within the Grass type category.
Although other combinations like pairing Leafeon Ex with Venusaur Ex might seem appealing, they're unlikely to outperform the Celebi Ex and Yanmega Ex decks. Therefore, these two configurations are the top choices for harnessing the power of Leafeon Ex in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
