Learn the best way to play a Flareon Ex deck as well as the complementary cards that enhance its performance.
While Flareon is often considered an underwhelming Eeveelution in the mainline games, Flareon ex has managed to outshine the rest in the current TCG meta. This Tera Pokemon not only works as an excellent damage dealer but also as an Energy engine for the rest of its deck. With a few staples to help out Tera Pokemon like Noctowl, Crispin, and Area Zero Underdepths, Flareon ex has left its mark in the Pokemon TCG.
Pokemon TCG Best Flareon Ex Deck Guide Overview
The core concept of Flareon ex decks is to use Flareon ex’s first move, Burning Charge, to deal damage and set up other Tera threats on the Bench. Cards that work well with it include fellow Eeveelution Sylveon ex, as well as Terapagos ex and Eevee ex. Noctowl and Crispin help to attach more Energy, while Area Zero Underdepths increases the Bench strength to allow more of these cards to set up.

How To Play the Best Flareon Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG
Ideal Starting Hand
Getting Eevee early on is helpful for setting up. However, if you don’t get one, you can use Mew ex in the Active Spot so that it can freely retreat once Flareon ex is set up on the Bench. Also, Fan Rotom is useful only on the first turn, letting you grab Hoothoot and Eevee if you don’t have them already.
Best Flareon Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG: Key Cards
Here’s the strategy of this deck:
- Set up Flareon ex in the Active Spot and attack with Burning Charge. Attach the extra Energy to Sylveon ex or Terapagos ex on the Bench.
- Noctowl and Crispin will help attach the extra Energy needed for Flareon ex to start attacking on its second turn.
- Night Stretcher and Super Rod are there to retrieve any Energy lost.
- Lillie’s Clefairy ex gives opposing Dragons a Psychic weakness and can step in as an attacker if needed.

Things to consider while using this deck
- Kieran is a situational Supporter who can come in clutch at the right moment. Depending on the situation, he can either let you swap in a Pokemon from your Bench or do more damage to your opponent’s Pokemon ex.
- Similarly, Briar is a card that only comes in handy near the end of a match. But she can end the game in a single turn, as she lets you take another Prize if your Active Tera Pokemon KOs your opponent’s Active Pokemon. This can stack up to three Prizes if the opponent has a Pokemon ex in the Active Spot.
