Leafeon and Glaceon, the Generation IV Eeveelutions, are the first to receive EX forms in Pokémon TCG Pocket. While both are powerful, let's delve into the best strategies for maximizing Leafeon EX's potential.

Leafeon EX's strength isn't its Solar Beam attack (70 damage for 3 Grass Energy), but its game-changing Forest Breath ability. This allows you to attach a Grass Energy to one of your Grass-type Pokémon while Leafeon EX is active.
This synergy shines brightest when paired with Celebi EX.
Celebi EX (Grass Energy) Deck
- 2x Eevee (Space-Time Smackdown)
- 2x Leafeon EX
- 2x Celebi EX
- 2x Professor's Research
- 2x Dawn
- 2x Erika's Hospitality
- 1x Sabrina's Insight
- 2x Giant's Cape
- 2x Poké Ball
- 2x Potion
- 1x Pokémon Communication
This deck focuses on keeping Leafeon EX active, utilizing Giant's Cape, Erika's Hospitality, and Potions for survivability. Forest Breath powers up both Leafeon EX and Celebi EX simultaneously. Leafeon EX's 140 HP allows it to withstand attacks long enough to retreat, leaving a fully charged Celebi EX to strike. Strategic energy allocation is key—decide when to power Leafeon EX or prioritize Celebi EX. Don't hesitate to use Dawn to boost Celebi EX's power. This deck builds upon successful Exeggutor EX strategies, offering greater scaling potential.

Yanmega EX (Grass Energy) Deck
- 2x Eevee (Space-Time Smackdown)
- 2x Leafeon EX
- 2x Yanma
- 2x Yanmega EX
- 2x Professor's Research
- 2x Dawn
- 2x Erika's Hospitality
- 2x Giant's Cape
- 2x Potion
- 2x Pokémon Communication
Alternatively, Yanmega EX provides a strong pairing. Yanmega EX's Air Slash (120 damage for 3 Colorless Energy) requires discarding an energy after attacking; Leafeon EX facilitates consistent energy accumulation for back-to-back attacks. Erika's Hospitality keeps both 140 HP Pokémon alive, while two Giant's Cape cards push their HP above 150. This deck employs an aggressive rush-down strategy, potentially outpacing common Exeggutor EX decks.
While Venusaur EX might seem like a potential partner, the Celebi EX and Yanmega EX decks offer superior synergy with Leafeon EX. These are the most effective strategies for utilizing Leafeon EX in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
