The first Eeveelutions to receive Ex forms in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* hail from Generation IV: Leafeon and Glaceon. Both are remarkably powerful, but our focus here is on Leafeon. This guide delves into the best Leafeon Ex decks you can build in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
Leafeon Ex’s prowess isn't primarily tied to its Solar Beam attack, which inflicts 70 damage for 3 total energy, but rather its Forest Breath ability. This ability allows you to attach a Grass energy to one of your Grass-type Pokémon whenever Leafeon Ex is in the Active Spot.
This synergizes exceptionally well with the Mythical Island powerhouse, Celebi Ex, and forms the backbone of a dynamic deck.
The strategy here is to position Leafeon Ex in the Active Spot, keeping it safe with Giant’s Cape, Erika, and Potions, while using Forest Breath to energize both Leafeon Ex and Celebi Ex. Leafeon Ex, with its 140 HP, can withstand most aggressive Pokémon long enough to retreat and switch to a Celebi Ex loaded with 3-4 energy.
The key is deciding when to energize Leafeon Ex or to focus on Celebi Ex, utilizing both energies generated each turn. This straightforward yet effective strategy has proven successful with Exeggutor Ex, but Leafeon Ex offers even greater scalability. Don’t hesitate to use Dawn to boost Celebi Ex's power further.
While the Celebi Ex deck is a prime spot for Leafeon Ex, pairing it with Yanmega Ex offers a compelling alternative. Yanmega Ex’s Air Slash deals 120 damage for 3 Colorless energy, but requires discarding an energy post-attack. Leafeon Ex can stack energy on Yanmega Ex, enabling consecutive attacks.
Erika helps keep both these 140 HP Pokémon in play, and 2x Giant’s Cape ensures they exceed the critical 150 HP threshold. This deck adopts a rush-down style that could potentially outpace the prevalent Exeggutor Ex decks within the Grass type category.
Although Venusaur Ex might seem like a viable partner for Leafeon Ex, it's unlikely to outperform the aforementioned decks. Thus, these are the top *Pokemon TCG Pocket* decks for leveraging your new Leafeon Ex.
