The first Eeveelutions to receive EX forms in Pokemon TCG Pocket are the Generation IV duo, Leafeon and Glaceon. Both are incredibly powerful, but our focus here is on Leafeon. This guide delves into 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 deals 70 damage for a total of 3 energy, but in 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 ability synergizes perfectly with the Mythical Island's powerhouse, Celebi EX, creating a formidable duo.
Celebi EX (Grass Energy)
- Pokémon: 2x Eevee (Space-Time Smackdown), 2x Leafeon EX, 2x Celebi
- Trainers: 2x Professor’s Research, 2x Dawn, 2x Erika, 1x Sabrina
- Items: 2x Giant’s Cape, 2x Poké Ball, 2x Potion
- Supporters: 1x Pokémon Communication
The strategy with this deck is to position Leafeon EX in the Active Spot, using Giant’s Cape, Erika, and Potions to keep it alive. Utilize Forest Breath to power up both Leafeon EX and Celebi EX simultaneously. With 140 HP, Leafeon EX can withstand most aggressive Pokémon long enough to retreat and bring in a fully charged Celebi EX with 3 to 4 energy.
The key is deciding when to power up Leafeon EX or focus solely on Celebi EX, using the energies generated each turn. This strategy has proven effective with Exeggutor EX, but the version with Leafeon EX offers greater potential for scaling. Don't hesitate to use Dawn to further empower Celebi EX.

Yanmega EX (Grass Energy)
- Pokémon: 2x Eevee (Space-Time Smackdown), 2x Leafeon EX, 2x Yanma, 2x Yanmega EX
- Trainers: 2x Professor’s Research, 2x Dawn, 2x Erika
- Items: 2x Giant’s Cape, 2x Potion
- Supporters: 2x Pokémon Communication
While the Celebi EX deck is the most natural fit for Leafeon EX, there's also potential for synergy with Yanmega EX. Yanmega EX's Air Slash inflicts 120 damage for 3 Colorless energy, but requires discarding an energy after attacking. Leafeon EX's Forest Breath helps stack energy on Yanmega EX, allowing for consecutive attacks.
Erika's support keeps both 140 HP Pokémon alive during this aggressive strategy, but using 2x Giant’s Cape is crucial to push them past the vital 150 HP threshold. This deck adopts a rush-down style that could outpace the prevalent Exeggutor EX decks within the Grass-type category.
Although pairing Leafeon EX with Venusaur EX could be considered, it's unlikely to outperform the above two decks. Therefore, these are the top Pokemon TCG Pocket decks to showcase your new Leafeon EX.
