Glaceon ex
Shiny Super Rare
Strengths
- Snowy Terrain deals passive 10 damage per Checkup without spending an attack, allowing chip accumulation while attaching three energy for Freezing Wind.10 damage per Checkup
- Eevee Bag provides extra search for Eevee-line basics beyond Poké Ball, making the Stage 1 evolution line more consistent than most multi-Pokemon builds.
- Multiple Eeveelution options (Vaporeon ex, Glaceon, Eevee ex) let you adapt to the opponent's board without committing entirely to the Glaceon ex game plan.
Weaknesses
- Glaceon ex is an ex; a knockout scores 2 points for the opponent, nearly guaranteeing a win for them in a single exchange.ex KO
- Freezing Wind costs Water-Water-Colorless — the highest energy cost in the deck — meaning a knocked-out Glaceon ex sets energy progress back by three attachments.Tempo
- Garchomp ex, Teal Mask Ogerpon ex, and Mega Gyarados ex all sit at 25% win rate — these archetypes either outpace Snowy Terrain chip or exploit Glaceon ex's type vulnerabilities.Matchup
- Only 4 tournament lists analyzed; sample size is too small to confirm consistent strategy refinement and the 40.9% win rate is below breakeven.Deckbuilding

Strategy Guide
Auto-generatedGlaceon ex uses its Snowy Terrain ability to deal 10 passive damage to the opponent's Active Pokemon each Checkup phase while building toward Freezing Wind for 90 damage. The win condition is combining Snowy Terrain chip with Freezing Wind to reach KO thresholds that 90 damage alone would miss.
You open by using Poké Ball to find Eevee, then evolve to Glaceon ex or Glaceon from hand draw after Poké Ball fills the basic slot. Eevee Bag accelerates the Eevee-line search beyond what Poké Ball alone provides. Glaceon ex must occupy the Active Spot for Snowy Terrain to tick, so you manage energy attachment for Freezing Wind's Water-Water-Colorless cost across turns. In the mid-game, Training Area and Inflatable Boat round out your supporter suite for energy and switching. Vaporeon ex and Eevee ex in the build provide secondary options when Glaceon ex is threatened. Glaceon (non-ex) rounds out the Eeveelution suite for low-point-exposure backup.
Damage Math
Opponent's Active Pokemon — Snowy Terrain plus Freezing Wind
Snowy Terrain 10 per Checkup + Freezing Wind 90 = varies by ticks accumulated
After 2 Checkup ticks (20 chip), Freezing Wind totals 110 effective — enough to KO most 100-110 HP non-ex Pokemon outright.
How to Play
Maintain Glaceon ex in the Active Spot
Snowy Terrain only activates while Glaceon ex is Active. Every turn Glaceon ex is in the Active Spot, the opponent's current attacker accrues 10 damage at no attack cost. You need at least two Checkup ticks before Freezing Wind can close out a 110-HP target in one swing. Use Inflatable Boat for pivot flexibility without losing the Snowy Terrain streak.
Evolve Eevee Efficiently with Eevee Bag
Poké Ball finds Eevee, and Eevee Bag accelerates additional Eevee search or helps identify which Eeveelution to prioritize. Glaceon ex as the primary line requires immediate Active placement; Vaporeon ex and Glaceon sit on the bench as backup. Professor's Research and Copycat provide the draw needed to find Glaceon ex and the remaining energy for Freezing Wind.
Pivot to Vaporeon ex or Eevee ex for Secondary Pressure
When Glaceon ex is low on HP or outmatched, switch to Vaporeon ex or Eevee ex from the bench. Glaceon (non-ex) provides a low-point-exposure option that only gives the opponent 1 point if knocked out rather than 2. Cyrus disrupts the opponent's Active positioning before you commit to the switch.
How to Beat This Deck
KO Glaceon ex Before Freezing Wind Charges
Freezing Wind costs three energy — Glaceon ex needs two or three turns of energy attachment before it can attack. During that window, Glaceon ex is dealing only 10 Snowy Terrain chip per turn. An attacker that can reach Glaceon ex's HP in two hits (before it fires Freezing Wind) scores 2 points while denying the opponent any knockout points in return.
Avoid Leaving a Chipped Active Pokemon
Snowy Terrain chips the Active Pokemon, not the bench. Use Cyrus or retreat effects to rotate a fresh, unchipped Pokemon into the Active Spot rather than leaving a weakened attacker to accumulate Snowy Terrain ticks. This forces Glaceon ex to rebuild chip accumulation from zero each time, delaying the effective range of Freezing Wind finishes.
Exploit Dragon or Lightning Weakness
Water-type Pokemon are weak to Lightning and Dragon attacks in Pocket. Garchomp ex and Mega Gyarados ex both score at 25% against Glaceon ex — confirming that Dragon-type coverage hard-counters the archetype. Bring a Dragon or Lightning attacker that can one-shot 140-HP Glaceon ex before Snowy Terrain chip completes its work.
Common Substitutions
Secondary Eeveelution attacker
- Vaporeon ex:Top build includes Vaporeon ex as a secondary Water attacker with its own ability-based disruption.
- Glaceon:Non-ex Glaceon offers a 1-point-loss option that preserves score tempo when Glaceon ex is at risk.
- Eevee ex:Provides additional ex coverage and flexibility in the Eevee-line matchup plan.
