The debut of Eeveelutions in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* has brought excitement with the introduction of Ex forms for Generation IV's Leafeon and Glaceon. In this guide, we dive deep into the strategies and decks that make Leafeon Ex a formidable choice in the game. Here's a detailed look at the best Leafeon Ex decks you can build in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
Best Leafeon Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Leafeon Ex's true strength lies not in its Solar Beam attack, which requires 3 energy to deal 70 damage, but in its Forest Breath ability. This ability allows you to attach Grass energy to one of your Grass-type Pokémon when Leafeon Ex is in the Active Spot, making it a key component in energy acceleration strategies.
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 and keeping it alive with cards like Giant’s Cape, Erika, and Potions. While Leafeon Ex is active, use Forest Breath to power up both Leafeon Ex and Celebi Ex. With 140 HP, Leafeon Ex can withstand most aggressive opponents long enough to retreat and bring in Celebi Ex, loaded with 3 to 4 energies. The key decision in this deck is whether to power up Leafeon Ex or focus on feeding energies to Celebi Ex. This straightforward strategy has proven effective with Exeggutor Ex, but the Leafeon Ex version offers even greater scalability. Utilize Dawn to further enhance Celebi Ex's power.

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 pairing for Leafeon Ex, there's potential in combining it with Yanmega Ex. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash deals 120 damage for 3 Colorless energies, but requires discarding an energy after each attack. Here, Leafeon Ex's Forest Breath becomes crucial in stacking energy on Yanmega Ex, enabling back-to-back attacks. Erika keeps both 140 HP Pokémon alive, and using 2x Giant’s Cape elevates them above the critical 150 HP threshold. This deck employs a rush-down strategy that could outpace the prevalent Exeggutor Ex decks in the Grass type category.
While a deck featuring Venusaur Ex with Leafeon Ex might seem appealing, it's unlikely to surpass the effectiveness of the two decks detailed above. Therefore, these are the top *Pokemon TCG Pocket* decks to leverage your new Leafeon Ex.
