Winning Strategy Breakdown
Early Game (Turns 1-3)
- Priority: Get Snivy and Eevee on the field
- Use Poke Ball to search for basic Pokemon
- Hold Rare Candy for immediate Serperior evolution
Mid Game (Turns 4-6)
- Deploy Serperior using Rare Candy if possible
- Evolve Eevee to Leafeon as your main attacker
- Start energy acceleration with Jungle Totem active
Late Game (Turns 7+)
- Leafeon becomes unstoppable with multiple energies
- Each Grass Energy counts as 2 thanks to Jungle Totem
- Clean up with Solar Beam if Leafeon falls
Advanced Tips for Competitive Play
Energy Management: Leafeon ex & Celebi ex follow a classic TCG Pocket strategy: energize, stall, and attack. Focus on getting Serperior’s Jungle Totem online early – it’s your win condition.
Positioning Matters: Keep Leafeon protected behind Serperior early game. Let Serperior tank damage while you build Leafeon’s energy stack.
Timing Erika: Save Erika for critical moments when Leafeon is about to be knocked out. That extra 50 HP often means the difference between winning and losing.
Counter-Strategy Against Popular Decks
Vs. Fire Decks: Leafeon’s Grass typing makes it vulnerable, but Serperior can handle most Fire threats with its 110 HP and Solar Beam.
Vs. Lightning Decks: Your biggest threat. Consider running additional healing cards or switching Pokemon to avoid devastating electric attacks.
Vs. Control Decks: Your scaling damage outpaces most control strategies. Play aggressively once setup is complete.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Rushing Leafeon: Don’t expose Leafeon too early without proper energy setup
- Ignoring Serperior: Jungle Totem is essential – prioritize getting Serperior evolved
- Wasting Rare Candy: Save it for Serperior, not other evolutions
- Poor Energy Distribution: Focus energies on one Pokemon at a time for maximum impact
