The first Eeveelutions to receive Ex forms in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* are the Generation IV duo, Leafeon and Glaceon. Both are remarkably potent, but let's delve deeper into the capabilities and strategies surrounding Leafeon. Here's a comprehensive guide to the best Leafeon Ex decks in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
Best Leafeon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Leafeon Ex's power doesn't solely stem from its Solar Beam attack, which inflicts 70 damage for a total of 3 energy. Instead, its true strength lies in the Forest Breath ability. When Leafeon Ex occupies the Active Spot, Forest Breath allows you to attach Grass energy to one of your Grass-type Pokemon, facilitating potent energy management strategies.
This ability synergizes exceptionally well with the Mythical Island powerhouse, Celebi Ex, though this pairing is the most notable one.
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, sustaining it with Giant’s Cape, Erika, and Potions, while leveraging Forest Breath to simultaneously energize both Leafeon Ex and Celebi Ex. With 140 HP, Leafeon Ex can withstand many aggressive opponents long enough to retreat and empower a Celebi Ex loaded with 3-4 energies.
A key decision point in this deck is knowing when to bolster Leafeon Ex or to focus on feeding Celebi Ex with the energies generated each turn. This strategy has proven effective with Exeggutor Ex, but the Leafeon Ex version offers even greater scaling potential. Don't hesitate to use Dawn to further power up 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 prime setup for Leafeon Ex, there's a viable alternative with Yanmega Ex. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash delivers 120 damage for 3 Colorless energy, but requires discarding an energy post-attack. Here, Leafeon Ex's Forest Breath is crucial for stacking energy on Yanmega Ex, enabling consecutive attacks.
Erika plays a vital role in keeping both these 140 HP Pokemon alive during the assault, but equipping them with 2x Giant’s Cape will push them over the critical 150 HP mark. This deck adopts a rush-down approach, potentially outpacing the prevalent Exeggutor Ex decks in the Grass-type category.
While there's theoretical synergy between Leafeon Ex and Venusaur Ex, it's unlikely to outshine the aforementioned decks. Thus, these are the top *Pokemon TCG Pocket* decks to explore with your new Leafeon Ex.
